The system includes an X-ray imaging device and an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. The IVD device is used to identify risk factors such as sensitivity to contrast agents, or to indicate or rule out other syndromes which may have symptoms similar to kidney malfunction. The level of blood ...
DNA methylation (DNAm) is associated with gene regulation and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function. Decreased eGFR is more common among US Hispanics and African Americans. The causes for this are poorly understood. We
Impaired kidney function includes various lesions such as a tubular, glomerular and vascular, and interstitial. In general, most of cellular casts often appear in patients with acute tubular necrosis (ATN)11 rather than those who present with interstitial lesions. Some cellular casts, for instance,...
It is preferable that the test piece for creatinine measurement of the present invention further includes a surfactant to control the stability of a colored complex made of the compound expressed by the formula (1) and the metal. When the surfactant controls the stability of the colored complex,...
Congenital disease:Inherited conditions can lead to abnormal kidney function. TheMerck Veterinary Manualincludes a list of these congenital diseases, from cysts to agenesis (being born without one or both kidneys). Geriatric degeneration:When kidneys get old, their cells can decline and die. This is...
Variant that has an effect on protein function that is associated with a specific disease phenotype. Hypomorphic A mutation that results in reduced expression or reduced activity of a protein. The resulting disease phenotype is potentially milder than when mutations cause a complete loss of functional...
The purpose of this thorough evaluation is to test whether the patient would benefit from a transplant and can withstand the rigors of the surgery, antirejection medications, and the adjustment to a new organ. The medical team, which includes a nephrologist, a transplant surgeon, a transplant co...

In our study, 49 (12%) subjects met the standard definition of DKD, which includes histological changes and reduced eGFR, while 94 (23%) patients had hypertensive CKD. Epigenome-wide association analysis (EWAS) identified methylation changes associated with kidney structure and function In this ...
be addressed at each clinical assessment. The patient's outpatient record should clearly state that the patient had RRT-requiring AKI and include a plan for outpatient care that includes measurement and documentation of kidney function. Furthermore, continued follow-up with a nephrologist is ...
