included age 65 years or older, female sex, troponin-positive acute coronary syndrome (ACS), established vascular disease, diabetes treated with medication, and chronic kidney dysfunction (CKD; defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or creatinine clearance <60 mL/...
ALT alanine aminotransferase, AST aspartate aminotransferase, Cre Creatinine, UREA urea nitrogen, CKMB creatine kinase MB, LDHI lactate dehydrogenase I, WBC white blood cell, RBC red blood cell, LYM lymphocyte, RDW red cell distribution width, PLT platelet, HGB hemoglobin, HE hematoxylin-eosin staini...
Except for a lower level of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower left ventricular ejection fraction, the patients with a high level of hsCK-MB had significantly higher baseline rates of hypertension, systolic blood pressure, serum creatinine, history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, body...
To monitor adverse effects related to the statin therapy, plasma glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, and creatine kinase levels were assessed at 6 weeks and 12, 24, and 36 months. Hemoglobin A1c was assessed at 12, 24, and 36 months. Study End Point T...
Even a moderate impairment in the glomerular filtration rate and creatinine clearance may result in hyperhomocysteinemia, especially for the elderly people. The genetic factors also influence the concentration of plasma Hcy. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T variant, the most common...
Previous research demonstrated that triglycerides (TG), instead of other individual lipid indexes, has a significant link with elevated urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). However, it is unclear whether lipid ratios are superior indicators of increased UACR compared with TG. This research is...
(LD), and creatinine kinase level (CK). The cryopreserved plasma was used for additional tests such as plasma plasmin-α2-plasmin inhibitor complex level (PIC), fibrin monomer complex level (FMC), antithrombin level (AT), thrombin antithrombin complex level (TAT), von Willebrand factor activity...
several laboratory tests, including serum potassium, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and creatine kinase (CK) levels, arterial blood gas results, and troponin as a biomarker of cardiac injury. The laboratory data were obtained from the electronic medical record...
and creatinine. To document adequate sodium repletion, the 24-hoururinarysodium excretionshould exceed 200 mEq. Urinary aldosterone excretion of more than 12 µg/24 hours in this setting is consistent with autonomousaldosterone secretion.166The sensitivity and specificity of the oral sodium loadin...
Creatinine increase was observed in 16 of 38 (42.1%). No apparent differences in hematological or renal toxicity were seen between the groups. Lethality Outcomes Overall lethality rate in our sample was 27.2% (95% CI, 17.9%-38.2%), which overlapped with the 95% CI of the meta-analysis7,...
