You’ll take medicines and may need to change your diet. If you have diabetes, it needs to be managed. If your kidneys don’t work anymore, you might need dialysis (in which a machine filters your blood) and you could talk with your doctor about whether a kidney transplant would help....
But as your cat loses kidney function, it becomes increasingly difficult to remove these waste products. Instead of passing through your cat’s body, waste products remain in the bloodstream. This is why blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels rise in cats with CKD. BUN is a measurement that veteri...
Kidney function studies: Increased levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine are the hallmarks of AKI; the ratio of BUN to creatinine can exceed 20:1 in conditions that favor the enhanced reabsorption of urea, such as volume contraction (this suggests prerenal AKI) Complete blood...

kidney injury, recovery, need for renal replacement therapy, or death. Predictor factors for severe acute kidney injury overlapped between the different studies and included old age, high creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen at presentation, gender (being male), and history of hypertension and ...
Even if we use the algorithm to balance the sample, it may still have bad effect on model generalization and reliability. Furthermore, external validation is still required in the following study. Conclusion We collected data from MIMIC-III and proposed a predicting model for AKI progression from...
The kidney has a central role in body homeostasis through the regulation of blood pressure, fluid, and electrolytes and by removing endogenous and exogenous toxins. Reduced kidney function measured using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) defines chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD affects 14.5...
In exchange for intracellular α-ketoglutarate, the OATs efficiently translocate organic anions from the blood compartment into the intracellular space against an electrochemical gradient. The efflux pumps belonging to the ABC family of transmembrane transporters then couple ATP hydrolysis to their urinary ...
