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...

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) The definition of hypertension is complicated. You can have systolic hypertension, diastolic hypertension, or both. According to the American Heart Association, in an adult, normal blood pressure is 120/80 or less, but there are different...
Identifying reversible renal dysfunction (RD) in the setting of heart failure is challenging. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether elevated admission blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) could identify decompensated heart failure patie
Blood pressure, weight, and height were measured. BMI for both cohorts was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Serum creatinine at enrollment before cardiac catheterization was obtained from routine clinic visits or hospitalizations within the Emory Healthcare system....
With respect to eligibility criteria (Figure 1), more women than men were 75 years or older (76.7% vs 58.9%; P < .001) and had a higher prevalence of chronic kidney failure (creatinine clearance, <40 mL/min in 24.1% vs 16.9%; P < .001) or hemoglobin level less than 11...
Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. For patients with TNBC treated with KEYTRUDA in the neoadjuvant setting, monitor blood cortisol at baseline, prior to surgery, and as cl...
Meaning The risk associated with elevated hscTnT and NTproBNP levels may be modifiable with intensive systolic blood pressure lowering. Abstract Importance Elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hscTnT) and N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels are associated with risk of...
To ensure the avoidance of vitamin D toxicity, as manifested by hypercalciuria or hypercalcemia, calcium and creatinine were assessed via blood and urine collection (24-hour urine at baseline and months 12, 24, and 36, second void urine sample at months 6, 18, and 30) and monitored by the...
