Creatinine is a waste product your body makes when it uses your muscles for energy. Your kidneys help filter this waste. A blood or urine creatinine test measures how well your kidneys work by measuring their glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Abnormal creatinine test results can sometimes (but ...

In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Acute renal injury (AKI) is generally defined as a sudden increase in the serum creatinine concentration, often accompanied by decreased urine output [1,2]. From: Methods, 2016
If you have tested positive for pregnancy with a urine test, your provider will order apregnancy blood test. The test measures levels ofquantitative humanchorionic gonadotropin(hCG), a hormone that is produced in the body during pregnancy. An hCG test can detect pregnancy as soon as 10 days a...
We studied determinants of cadmium status and kidney function in nonsmoking men and women living on farms in southern Sweden. Median blood Cd (BCd) was 1.8 nmol/L (range, 0.38-18) and median urinary Cd (UCd) was 0.23 nmol/mmol creatinine (range, 0.065-0.99). The intake of Cd per kilo...
Furthermore, Ca isotope ratios were significantly correlated to other clinical parameters ([Ca]Urine, ([Ca]Urine/Creatinine)) and biomarkers (CRP, CTX/P1NP) associated with bone mineralization and demineralization. From regression analysis it can be shown that the δ44/42CaBlood values ...
and chloride, are precisely controlled by their retention or selective removal as blood flows through the kidneys. Of special significance is the renal (kidney) control of acidity of the urine, a major factor in the maintenance of the normal pH of the blood.Urea, creatinine, anduric acidare ...
creatinine, cystatin-C, liver enzymes and electrolytes. Safety MRI sequences included T1 with and without gadolinium, T2, FLAIR, GRE, and DWI. Feasibility was qualitatively defined as detectable gadolinium enhancement signal into the sonicated targets on T1-weighted imaging immediately post-procedure, ...
two serum laboratory values, the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (mg/dL) andserum creatinine(Cr) (mg/dL). An abnormally high BUN-Cr value stipulates renal dysfunction as a result ofkidney stonesor tumours while low BUN-Cr value is indicative of low protein intake and critical liver damage [10]...
systolic blood pressure<115 mm Hg andserum creatinine≥ 2.75 mg dl−1(Fonarow et al., 2005). Another study done by Aronson et al., in 2004, which involved 541 patients with acute heart failure, examined the prognostic utility of BUN, serum creatinine, the BUN/creatinine ratio, and ...
