The basic anatomic unit of renal function is the nephron (Fig. 30.4A). Basic components are glomerulus, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting tubule. Therenal excretionof drugs involves
The results of renal function measurements reproduced the well known pattern of renal dysfunction after hemorrhagic shock in dogs: reduction of C PAH to about 55% and of C I to about 70% of pre-shock levels, significant increases of V U , E Na , E F Na EFNa (diuresis and natriuresis...

Renal function was defined by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Results A total of 6 496 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 59.6 ± 9.5 years, and 2996 (46.1%) were females. During a maximum follow-up of 7.0 years, 1 996...

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a predictor of cardiovascular diseases; however, to what extent the TyG index is associated with cardiovascular diseases through renal function is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the complex association of th
These results might provide an effective goal for managing and delaying the decline of renal function in the older adults. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a significant global public health concern, affecting approximately 8%-16% of the population.[1,2] In China, the prevalence of...
creatinine or creatinine-derived glomerular filtration rate (GFR), since these biomarkers are not specific, do not reflect small or early changes in renal func- tion, and can only be considered reliable biomarkers in the late stages when significant impairment of the renal function is p ...
She explained that I was pretty close to what she thinks is my normal baseline and, since my kidney has been repaired, my function and lab results indicate, I probably don't need to worry about my condition. Especially do to my age. I really like her very much. I made an appointment...
