Expression of circulating CD146 associated with endovascular dysfunction in adenine-induced chronic renal damage in rats using an EvaGreen real-time RT-PCR... blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and blood creatinine (Cr) levels, increased urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPC) and decreased creatinine clear...
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is a laboratory test that measures the amount of nitrogen from urea and is used in clinical practice as an index of kidney function [2, 3]. Their levels in the blood are influenced by a complex balance between production, metabolism, and excretion [2]. The ...
However, whether higher levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are associated with increased risk of incident diabetes mellitus in humans is not known. To study this, we built a national cohort of 1,337,452 United States Veterans without diabetes to characterize the association of BUN and risk ...
Experimental evidence suggests that higher levels of urea may increase insulin resistance and suppress insulin secretion. However, whether higher levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are associated with increased risk of incident diabetes mellitus in humans is not known. To study this, we built a na...
For example, several polymorphisms of the gene coding for Serpin A5 have been described for different ethnic populations (Radtke et al., 1996, Bungum et al., 2010, Larget-Piet et al., 1993). Therefore, the HESN status of the women we examined may be associated with a particular ...
Whole blood was separated into serum and the contents of creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) in serum samples were detected by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kits (Nanjing jiancheng) according to manufacturer’s instructions. His...
A multicentre retrospective study was performed to observe the changes in serum cystatin C (CysC) levels in patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting Four hospitals in China. Methods Over a 5-year study period, the CysC, creatinine (Cr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels of...
BUN 128 mg/dL, creatinine 28.3 mg/dL, and glucose 240 mg/dL. ECG showed that absence of regular P-waves, peaked T-waves and widening of the QRS complex. The patient was treated intravenously with calcium gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, and insulin (glucose 50% solution) and ECG became norm...
(A) Glucose (SD n = 21–23; HFD n = 32–36), insulin (SD n = 10; HFD n = 14) and leptin (SD n = 3–4; HFD n = 9–10) levels were measured in blood after overnight starvation of A20myel-KO and control WT mice fed with the respective diets for 10 weeks. (B) Intrape...
including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), bile acids (BA), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total cholesterol (CHOL) were quantified using a VetScan VS2 Chemistry Analyzer (Abaxis North America, USA)...
