Similarly to the creatinine blood test, creatinine clearance, as mentioned above, is another test that is used to assess kidney function. This test measures how well the kidneys filter out creatinine over a given period. Instead of a blood sample, creatinine clearance is usually determined from a...
High blood pressure is an example. It becomes more common as you get older, affecting 60% of U.S. adults age 65 or older on Medicare, according to the National Council on Aging. If left untreated, high blood pressure could make a stroke, heart attack, or kidney disease more likely. Bu...

Body surface area correlated positively to kidney weight and total glomerular volume but not to number of glomeruli. Body surface area correlates significantly with metabolic rate (Robertson and Reid, Lancet, 1: 940-943, 1952). Thus, intraspecies adaptation of kidney filtration capacity to the meta...
Modern medicine emphasizes the concept of homeostasis, constancy of the intern milieu. Accordingly, it is assumed that biological functions and processes are relatively stable during the 24 h and other time periods and that the exacerbation of disease an
Causes:Common causes include excessive salt intake, obesity, genetics, age, and lack of physical activity. Other factors like stress, kidney disease, and certain medications can also contribute. Symptoms:Often, stage 1 hypertension may not exhibit noticeable symptoms. Some people might experience heada...

Moreover, obesity is one of the risk factors for breast, uterine, esophageal and kidney cancer [1,6,7]. Obesity is a heterogeneous disorder. People with obesity are characterized by inter-individual variability in terms of the distribution of adipose tissue, metabolic profile and the degree of...
