Amantadine, an antiviral agent, is the only drug currently approved in Canada for prophylaxis of influenza A virus infection. To minimize side effects, the amantadine dose is adjusted for age and estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) based on plasma creatini...
GFR can be calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) or the modified diet in renal diseases (MDRD) study formulas, both of which are based on serum creatinine levels. The MDRD formula is more accurate in noncancer patients, does not require patient weight, and is reported automatically by ...

Creatinine levels in blood and urine may be used to calculate the creatinine clearance (CrCl), which reflects the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), an important clinical index of renal function. It is a substrate for creatininase. Uses Creatinine is the end product of creatine catabolism. Creatin...
Cayman’s Creatinine (urinary) Colorimetric Assay Kit can be used to measure creatinine levels in urine. The assay relies on the Jaffe reaction, wherein a yellow/orange color forms when the metabolite is treated with alkaline picrate.1 The color derived from creatinine is then destroyed at acid...
the largest share of the creatinine measurement market in 2017 due to the increased accuracy and low risk of contamination. This segment is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period, as it is the most preferred sample type for accurate measurement of creatinine levels....
Maternal serum transforming growth factor beta-2 in preeclampsia and eclampsia, a potential biomarker for the assessment of disease severity and fetal outcome This increase was positively correlated with elevated levels of serum creatinine and uric acid, as well as poor biophysical profile scores (BPS...
used as a measure of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to assess renal function, estimate and monitor the extent of functional renal impairment, and detect renal disease.1,3 About This Assay Cayman's Creatinine (urinary) Colorimetric Assay Kit can be used to measure creatinine levels in ...
Creatinine levels may increase when ACE inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARBs) are used in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Using both ACEI & ARB concomitantly will increase creatinine levels to a greater degree than either of the two drugs would individually...
