This indicates that excretion of nitrogenous wastes across gill membranes is an important part of endogenous toxin removal. However, creatinine serum levels are apparently unaffected by either gill damage or kidney failure. Elevated BUN levels in teleosts may serve as a clinical indication of ...
(i.e., another form ofelectrolyte balance), are continuously corrected during life so as to keep the pH of each body fluid within a fairly stable range; the pH ofarterial bloodin ahealthy adultis usually 7.35–7.45. This is regulated by various buffer systems, which means the mechanisms ...
Elevated triglycerides (which may lead to cardiovascular disease): Men and women—equal to or greater than 150 mg/dL ● Elevated waist circumference (which may lead to obesity): Men—equal to or greater than 40 inches (102 cm) Women—equal to or greater than 35 inches (88 cm) ● Reduced...
In addition to the burial inventory, which points to an elevated social position of the deceased, a number of highly fragmented skeletal remains were preserved. Forensic anthropological investigation identified three distinctive bone defects, the surfaces of which were macromorphologically and ...
Whenever I take a bite of one of those perfect (and cheap!) gooey cheeseburgers, I am reminded why In-N-Out Burger has achieved such legendary fast food burger status throughout the country, arguably subpar french fries and all. Much like Raising Cane's, In-N-Out has elevated the art...
adenine-induced CKD but did not improve renal function as measured by plasma creatinine or blood urea nitrogen. Collectively, our findings suggest a novel concept of pathogenesis of coagulation-mediated kidney injury, in which elevated TF levels in monocytes under uremic conditions is partly involved ...
(as shown in a and b) had grown to a 4- × 4-cm pseudovesicular nodule that nearly involved the entire circumference of the digit and she was referred to the dermatology clinic. The lesion was painful and her leukocyte count was markedly elevated; however, she was (and had been) a...
elevated HbA1c, BMI > 30 kg/m2, or who used medications to control diabetes [31]. However, glycated hemoglobin was not found to be associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer in a small nested case-control study within the Nurses' Health Study [32]. Elevated fasting glucose, ...
146,149,156 Severely ill patients are more likely to be thrombocytopenic, are usually lymphopenic, and may have an elevated WBC count with neutrophilia. Moderate hemoconcentration and proteinuria are usually present with an elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN).146–148,150 These are likely a result...
Elevated conjugated bilirubin usually indicates biliary obstruction or an impairment of biliary secretion with loss of bilirubin from hepatocytes into the bloodstream. Elevated unconjugated bilirubin suggests a hemolytic crisis that temporarily exceeds the conjugation capacity of the liver and usually is not ...
