Creatinine is an indicator of kidney function. In this article, we discuss how it is produced, disposed of, as well as why it is an important indicator of kidney disease or reduced kidney function. We’ll also take a look at the less commonly talked about low creatinine levels. What is ...
General good health, physical activities, and a healthy diet cannot reduce the chances of having high creatinine levels. These levels depend entirely on how the kidneys are functioning. For example, if the kidneys are damaged, more creatinine will be seen in the blood and less in the urine. ...
Recruited women into two groups in 1: 4 ratio, i.e., 56 women in group A with nephrotic range proteinuria (≥3.5 g in 24 h urine or urine protein creatinine ratio ≥3.5) and 222 women in group B with non-nephrotic range proteinuria (300 mg-<3.5 g protein in 24-h urine or urine...

The relationship between threatened premature delivery (coded as 0, without any complication of delivery; or 1, with threatened premature delivery) as the dependent variable and age, serum concentrations of 25-OHD, NTx, BAP, creatinine, albumin, corrected calcium, and Pi level as independent ...
A nested study within the large WHO trial of calcium supplementation during the second half of pregnancy (ie, >20 weeks) failed to show an effect on biochemical measures commonly elevated in pre-eclampsia (ie, serum urate, platelet count, and urine protein:creatinine ratio).18 This absence of...
The significance of serum uric acid, creatinine and urinary microprotein levels in predicting pre-eclampsia. The object of this study was to determine whether serum uric acid, serum creatinine and urinary microprotein levels could be used to identify women who mig... DS Weerasekera,H Peiris -...
Creatinine test 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...
For infants whose parents chose not to consent to the stable isotope infusion portion of the study, nitrogen balance studies alone were used to assess protein balance. Blood samples also were obtained for plasma amino acid, creatinine, BUN, glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations at the...
Anthropometric and clinical parameters of children and adolescents with and without type 1 diabetes are summarized in Table 1. Autoimmune thyroiditis was present in six children, thyroid function was normal under treatment in all patients. Serum concentrations of creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides, and...
