Similarly to the creatinine blood test, creatinine clearance, as mentioned above, is another test that is used to assess kidney function. This test measures how well the kidneys filter out creatinine over a given period. Instead of a blood sample, creatinine clearance is usually determined from a...
This investigation of the relationships between the urea and creatinine contents of blood was made because of a number of apparent anomalies which have been encountered and which could not be explained on the basis of technical errors. The results of this study are of clinical interest since they...
Creatinine clearance is often estimated based on the serum creatinine in the blood or in 24-hour urine. Shorter periods of collection are possible, but often lead to less acurate results. This may be partly explained by the fact that shorter periods of collection result in a relatively high pe...
Third, we compared the categorized forms of the UACR (eight groups) with blood lipid levels. The UACR groups defined by the KDIGO guidelines were used to identify the associations between albuminuria and dyslipidemia in the multivariate analysis. Results All participants were divided into two based ...
In Section 2, the HCMV dynamic model is presented and relationships between its state variables and parameters are explained. The controller design and Lyapunov stability proof are formulated and described in Section 3. Simulations and numerical results for primary and reactivation cases, required contr...
The results from group 2, using fresh urine samples examined without delay, confirmed this relationship (Fig 6) as did the correlation of urinary ammonium to standard bicarbonate and creatinine clearance (Fig 4). The small elevation of blood pH (within the normal range) observed in the patients...
These results may be explained by the performances of the two equations which have been showed to be very similar (or at least less different) in elderly patients [39]. Indeed, it has been shown that the MDRD equation yields systematically lower eGFR results (for a given age and creatinine...
They observed that fluctua- tions in the P/C ratio values based on the time of urine collection were explained by differences in the physical activity of the women during the day, variable blood pressure, emotional state and posture. They empha- sized that for these women, P/C ratio tests...
Results were similar when the laboratory analysis was delayed by 24–48 h, but a delay of 3–9 months resulted in systematic overestimation of the ACR. Our study’s generalizability is limited by its small sample size and reliance on a clinic-based population from a single urban center. ...
index is determined by age, gender, Kt/V for urea, and pre-dialysis serum Cr level. These two indexes are objective and do not require special techniques or experience but are instead easily calculated by routine blood test results obtained at the bedside. Furthermore, both have been shown ...
