The decrease in functional capacity with age compared to young adults is at least partially a logical event; as the kidney functions in unison with the rest of the body's activities, it would be unreasonable to suppose that the kidney would conserve its full functional capacity with the ...
Cadmium in blood and urine--impact of sex, age, dietary intake, iron status, and former smoking--association of renal effects We studied determinants of cadmium status and kidney function in nonsmoking men and women living on farms in southern Sweden. Median blood Cd (BCd) was 1.8... O ...
We provide an overview of age-related changes in UTCs, along with chronic diseases that are associated with altered UTC number and function. We summarize how UTCs respond to acute exercise and exercise training and discuss potential mechanisms that may lead to improved frequency and function....

However, after the age of 30, men experience a decrease in testosterone levels, which may lower your sex drive. Making some healthy lifestyle choices can liven up your sex drive. That said, it is reasonable to experience fluctuations in sexual desire as you age, but if you experience persis...
Rapidly dropping pounds is associated with a loss of muscle mass and other undesirable effects—including looking older.
However, the elimination of a drug varies depending on factors such as age, weight, kidney and liver function, and interactions with other medications. These factors make the half-life an estimate rather than an exact measurement. For more information, see: Drug Half Life ExplainedRead...
Kidney function was estimated with the abbreviated Modification in Renal Disease equation and acute kidney injury was defined as a decrease of glomerular filtration rate ≥50%. ResultsOperations included 246 coronary, 198 isolated valve, and 154 combined coronary and valve procedures. Mean logistic ...
Further studies are warranted to investigate whether weight loss in people with T1D living with obesity improves HOMA-β (Homeostatic Model Assessment) and subsequently insulin function. Similarly, as it has been shown that the prevalence of kidney disease is significantly higher in people with T1D...
Discontinuation of CRRT, as per the KDIGO guidelines, should be considered “when CRRT is no longer required either because intrinsic kidney function has recovered to the point that is adequate to meet patient needs, or because CRRT is no longer consistent with the goal of care” [11]. These...
