Blood creatinine levels are checked to assess kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that comes from normal muscle wear and tear. The kidneys are responsible for the removal of creatinine from the blood, so if your kidney function declines, creatinine levels in the blood r...
mostly via glomerular filtration and partly via secretion at proximal tubule1,2. Therefore, creatinine clearance could be used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by measuring serum creatinine (SCr), urine creatinine, and volume3,4. Additionally, SCr can be a reflection ...
Furthermore, the patients in the nonsurvivor group had significantly lower levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, albumin, and cholinesterase and significantly higher levels of creatinine and brain natriuretic peptide than those in the survivor group. The administration of ...
Background: The present study attempted to investigate the therapeutic effect and duration of low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LiESWT) on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, including social activity and the quality of life (QoL). Methods:
Low blood pressure (hypotension) is blood pressure that is so low that it causes low flow of blood through the arteries and veins. Some of the symptoms of low blood pressure include light-headedness, dizziness, and fainting if not enough blood is getting
There was no significant between-group difference for the change in serum creatinine level between baseline and the final 6-month visit (Table 4). However, the ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine was reduced more among patients in the triple combination pill therapy group compared with the ...
