The role of the difference and ratio of albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, uACR) and proteinuria (urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, uPCR) has not been systematically evaluated with all-cause mortality. We retrospectively analyzed 2904 patie
C-reactive protein level (mg/dL), 4-h dialysate-to-plasma creatinine concentration ratio (DP4Cr), urine volume (ml/day), edema index, and serum calcium (mg/dL), phosphorus (mg/dL), sodium (mEq/L), potassium (mEq/L), intact parathyroid hormone (i-PTH; pg/mL), and albumin (g/dL...
Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine. His blood work showed azotemia, likely caused by his medication's nephrotoxic effects. 3 Uremia Systemic symptoms due to kidney dysfunction. Her progressive uremia was accompanied by decreased urine output. 3 Azotemia Azotemia (azot, "nitroge...
Which of the following might indicate abnormal kidney function? a. Creatinine clearance less than 120-140 mL/min b. Serum creatinine less than 1.5 mg/dL (135 mmol/liter) c. Glucose in the urine d. Creatinine clearance less than 120-140 mL/min and seru ...
Conditions considered to be a risk to maternal health included PE), HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) syndrome, poorly controlled hypertension, rapidly increasing nephrotic proteinuria, and increased serum creatinine, alone or in combination. Indications for cesarean section ...
What findings (urine and serum) would indicate dehydration? What is the difference between serum and plasma? What is the difference between acute and chronic sinusitis? What factors predispose to the development of gallstones? What is the difference between albinism and vitiligo? What is the diffe...
(Beckman Coluter Synchron system, Lx-20, Fullerton, CA, USA). The interassay precision coefficient of variation was < 3.0% for both creatinine and albumin concentrations. The urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in the morning urine sample was used as a marker of the albumin excretion ...
Once the clinical diagnosis is made, patient is investigated with urinary full report, electrolytes, serum creatinine, imaging. Ultra sound scan shows swollen kidneys and reduced cortico-medullary demarcation. Renal biopsy should be performed in all patients, with normal-sized, unobstructed kidneys, in...

Among patients with decompensated cirrhosis, serum creatinine (sCr) is biased by sex, frailty, and hepatic synthetic function, while Cystatin C (cysC) is not. We found that sCr would better associate with waitlist mortality and that the difference between cysC and sCr (cysCsCrdiff) would ...
