High blood pressure (hypertension) occurs due to the tightening or stiffness of very small arteries called arterioles. As a result, the heart pumps harder through the stiff or narrow arterioles, leading to elevated pressure inside the vessels. Hypertensi
CREATININEBLOOD serum analysisWOMEN patientsHEALTHThe link between the arterial hypertension (AH) and kidney has been considered a villain-victim relationship. AH is one of the two most important causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the developed world. We investigated what proportions of ...
Blood creatinine levels are checked to assess kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that comes from normal muscle wear and tear. The kidneys are responsible for the removal of creatinine from the blood, so if your kidney function declines, creatinine levels in the blood r...
RDW is a test that is part of a CBC or complete blood count test. It is evaluated alongside other red blood cell markers to assess overall blood cell functioning and production. When RDW is noted to be abnormal, it may prompt the doctor to suspect other health conditions, like anemia, di...
Although an increase in creatinine or potassium level does not always require adjusting medication, use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors in the CKD population requires monitoring of electrolyte and serum creatinine levels, and in some cases, may require reduction in dose or discontinuation for ...
Bilirubin is an orange-yellow bile pigment formed during the normal breakdown of the red blood cells. Learn about the elevated bilirubin level and its problems.
Acreatininetest is another blood test that checks your kidney health. You'd get it because the BUN level by itself doesn’t always reveal much. When your BUN levels are compared to your creatinine levels, it gives a fuller picture of what’s happening with your kidneys. This is known as...
Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR, mg/g) and eGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) Eq. 34. Also, the presence of red blood cells in urine was investigated under a microscope. The participants were then categorized as CKD if matched ...
