The level of CysC is not affected by muscle mass or diet and depends on age, sex, and race less than creatinine. Conversely, it can be affected by smoking, inflammation, obesity, thyroid dysfunctions, glucocorticosteroids, and malignant processes [71,72]. Such characteristics prompted researchers...
We assessed the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation, which is the most commonly used method worldwide: 186 × (creatinine/88.4) − 1.154 × (age) − 0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.210 if black). The AKI...
This finding is consistent with the recommended lower limit of average energy intake of 25.7 kcal/kg by Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative Nutrition Clinical Practice Guideline [9] and with two prior studies reporting that survivors had significantly higher energy intake (25.9–27.4 kcal/kg) ...
eGFR was estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) calculation formula for Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease: eGFR = 175 × serum creatinine (in milligrams per deciliter) −1.234× age (in years) −0.179 (×0.79 for females) [28]. 2.5. Definitions In this...

To fully understand the intracellular mechanisms governing lipids, it is crucial to examine how FAs, derived from our diet, are taken up by cells. While FAs have the capability to traverse the cellular membrane, they predominantly rely on transporters for this process. Notably, ① cluster of dif...
Language Countries, Brazil has 17 million hypertensive patients, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death. The outlook is that by 2025, this number is expected to grow 80% mainly due to smoking, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, poor diet, and high alcohol consumption [3]....
