Laboratory results, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, hemoglobin A1C, hemoglobin, albumin, and creatinine, were provided by participants prior to the baseline visit. Statistical analysis Statistical analyses ...
Urine protein and creatinine levels were analyzed in the random morning spot urine samples, and UPCR was calculated. The 95th percentile of the UPCR was used as the normal upper limit. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to test differences among groups.#The UPCR reference value was 141.7mg/...
Plasma bone Gla protein is removed from the circulation mainly by the kidneys and the increased plasma BGP in the women could be caused by decreased renal clearance. The interrelationship was analysed by means of partial correlation. When creatinine clearance was held constant in women, BGP still ...
(Japan). Creatinine levels was measured using an enzymatic method by Hoken Kagaku, Inc. The 24-h urine Na+ excretion, which was analyzed via spot urine collection, was calculated using Eqs. (2) and (3) 49: $$\begin{aligned}&24\;{\hbox{h urine Na}}^{ + } {\hbox{excretion level...
Overall, there was no change in urinary OHPro/creatinine ratio as a marker for bone resorption. However, the raloxifene-induced increases in both serum testosterone and 17 beta-oestradiol were significantly related to a lower OHPro/creatinine ratio. Total PSA increased by 17% without significant ...
Creatinine Serum creatinine levels were employed as an indicator of urinary function and categorized into sex-specific groups. For men: 0 = ≥ 114.9 mmol/L, 1 = 97.2-114.9 mmol/L, and 2 = < 97.2 mmol/L. For women: 0 = ≥ 88.4 mmol/L, 1 = 70.7–88.4...

However these decreases in total white blood cell count and ANC were generally within the normal range in these healthy volunteers. Changes in other hematologic and serum electrolytes, protein, creatinine, and liver enzymes are listed in Table I. Marginal but statistically significant reduction in ...
In a recent study, Chihuahuas also showed a significantly higher urinary aldosterone-to-creatinine ratio (UAldo: C) than other breeds [38]. However, the number of Chihuahuas included was low, and other factors, such as sex, appeared to simultaneously affect aldosterone levels. Although markers...
This patient, Case 3, was a 74-year-old Japanese man with hypertension and previously undetected rhabdomyolysis (peak serum creatine kinase level, 4832 IU ml À1) with renal injury (serum creatinine level, 2.2 mg dl À1). The CACT enzymatic activity in the fibroblasts was determined on a...
