She had a raised creatinine kinase activity (56 mg/l), blood urea nitrogen of 156 mg/dl, creatinine of 6.2 mg/dl, and potassium of 4.0 mmol/l. On day 3, she had fever, acute septic shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and died. Myocarditis has been attributed to cocaine (...
Screening Blood testsare used to try to detect a disease when there is little or no evidence that a person has a suspected disease. For example, measuring cholesterol levels helps to identify one of the risks of heart disease. These screening tests are performed on people who may show no sy...
SGOT levels of treated rats significantly decreased as compared to those of control group (p=lt;0.05), while SGPT levels were similar in all groups. BUN levels in treated groups were higher than those of controls in exposure period, but slightly lower in recovery period. However, Creatinine ...
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine are waste products removed from your blood by your kidneys: Sometimes the BUN can be higher if you are fasting for your bloodwork. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR): This is a calculation of your kidney function. “We look for any abnormalities in thes...
Creatinine has been found to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function. As the kidneys become impaired the creatinine level in the blood will rise. Normal levels of creatinine in the blood vary from gender and age of the individual. Cupping Therapy Cupping therapy is a form of ...

Blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c, triglyceride, total cholesterol, urea nitrogen, creatinine, AST, ALT, δ-GTP, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets were analyzed by a clinical testing laboratory (BML Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The iAUC values for blood glucose and insulin were calculate...
A clinical auto-analyzer (ILAB-650, Instrumentation Laboratory-Werfen, Bedford, MA, USA) was used to determine the concentrations of glucose, NEFA, BHB, urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorine, zinc, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total protein, ...
What do blood pressure numbers mean (chart with ranges)? Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It constitutes one of the critically important signs of life or vital signs, which include heart rate,breathing, and temperature. Blood pressure is ...
