LONDON, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- A marker in the blood could help predict the risk that a person has of developing kidney cancer, according to a study released on Monday by Cancer Research UK. The research team found that measuring levels of a protein molecule in the blood, called KIM-1, ...

The kidney has two principal functions: to remove waste from the blood and to balance ion and metabolite concentrations in the blood within physiological ranges that support proper functioning of all other cells (Vizeet al., 2002).Kidney functionis achieved largely by first filtering the blood and...

You may need to return for tests up to 4 times each year to monitor your kidney function. You may also be referred to a kidney specialist. Control your blood sugar level. Check your blood sugar level every day, as often as your care team provider has recommended. Your provider may want...
Of these, 147 were likely to be relevant for kidney function on the basis of associations with the alternative kidney function marker blood urea nitrogen (n = 416,178). Pathway and enrichment analyses, including mouse models with renal phenotypes, support the kidney as the main target ...
Globally, on a clinical point of view, metabolites presenting such a pattern could potentially represent toxic uremic solutes while also being candidate to provide assessment of kidney function or dialysis dose. Several metabolites presented other specific profiles across disease states of clinical ...
10,12 If kidney function and GFR decline, blood levels of cystatin C rise. An eGFR calculated using cystatin C may yield a more accurate eGFR for persons with unusually low or high muscle mass or protein intake because it is less influenced by these factors than is ...
If kidney function decreases due to injury or disease, the filtration rate decreases, and waste products begin to accumulate in the blood. Clinically, the eGFR is mainly used to detect kidney status. eGFR is calculated on the basis of a serum creatinine test. Creatinine is a muscle waste ...
