1F). The acute tubular damage at day 2 and increased infiltration of inflammatory cells in both renal cortex and outer stripe of outer medulla at day 14 and day 30 were also attenuated in IL-18 KO mice compared to WT mice (Fig. 1G). In addition, the elevated urine output and urine ...
By CKD stage 5, renal replacement therapy (RRT) may become necessary, but some children who maintain good urine output may manage without for many years with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as low as this. Renal function may remain stable or even show some improvement in infancy and...

as the kidney function worsens, the volume of urine usually decreases. Reduced urine output leads to fluid retention in the body causing puffiness of the face, swelling of the legs and hands and high blood pressure. Accumulation of fluid
Proteinuria is typically quantified according to the spot urine protein–creatinine ratio (UPCR) and an association with cardiovascular events has not been thoroughly investigated in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We investigated whether the severity of proteinuria assessed by spot UPCR is assoc...
To study the degree of kidney damage caused by renal embolization, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were determined in urine samples obtained after sacrifice using ELISA (ab207924, Abcam, Berlin, Germany) per the manufacturer’s instructions. Oxidative stress was determined by ...
2). Serum creatinine and urine output were significantly increased during CKD progression compared with the controls 2–8 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy (p < 0.01); blood pressure was also increased (p < 0.01). Animals with 5/6 nephrectomy also showed reduced body weight during CKD ...
However, the procedure requires the patient to collect his or her urine for a 24-hour period and preferably to keep the collection on ice, which may make the pro- cedure inconvenient for some patients. Furthermore, intake of meat or protein supplements containing cre- atine may contribute ...
54 Proteinuria was measured by means of 24-hour urine collection, expressed in grams per day, at the beginning and end of the study. Serum creatinine, serum electrolytes, hemoglobin, albumin, cholesterol, TSH, FT4, and triglycerides were measured at the beginning of the study and every 4 ...
kidney tissue damage, resulting in elevated blood creatinine, increased urine protein, and decreased urine volume. The AKI-related mortality in adults is 23.9%, and the rate will be higher in those receiving kidney replacement therapy, resulting in irreversible losses to individuals and society [2]...
