Thirty-six Chinese NIDDM patients with mild to moderate hypercholesterolaemia (fasting total cholesterol above 5.2 but less than 7.8 mmol/l) and proteinuria greater than 0.15 g/day (upper normal range of the local laboratory) were recruited into the study. All had normal serum creatinine levels ...
These tests included assessments of glucose, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, albumin, globulin, sodium, chloride, serum urea nitrogen, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin-globulin ratio, potassium, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and ...
As defined by recent guidelines, CKD is characterized by an estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or a urinary albumin-creatinine ratio of ≥ 30 mg/g, or a combination of both [22]. Statistical analysis All data in this study were analyzed in accordance with ...
or taking probucol in the last year; were known to be intolerant of statins or to have significant liver or kidney disease (serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] >100 IU/L or serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL [176.8 µmol/L]) or other contraindications for statin therapy; or had a known secon...
Control groups were fed on diets devoid of malakwang: a basic standard rat diet;high fat diet;and high fat with atorvastatin. The diets were administered daily and rat weight determined. On the last day, blood was drawn from the rats and the serum analysed for lipids, creatinine and urea ...
We monitored salivary UA instead of plasmatic UA in a patient with gout. METHODS: Allopurinol and benzbromarone were used as the therapeutic drugs. Salivary UA; urinary UA and creatinine; and plasmatic UA, creatinine, kynurenine and tryptophan were measured by HPLC. RESULTS: Salivary UA indicated...
Unlike some previous long-term statin trials, the TNT (Treating to New Targets) study (9) did not exclude patients on the basis of serum creatinine levels. The current post-hoc analysis of the TNT study was undertaken to identify and clinically characterize a patient cohort presenting with coro...
The supplemented uremic diet did not reduce creatinine, phosphate levels, or vascular calcification, however, we observed a significant hypocholesterolemic effect (18.9% in supplemental uremic vs. uremic diet; < 0.05). Similar to simvastatin, incubation of cultured human hepatoma cells (Huh7) with ...
