HDL cholesterol- the cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins; the `good' cholesterol; a high level in the blood is thought to lower the risk of coronary artery disease LDL cholesterol- the cholesterol in low-density lipoproteins; the `bad' cholesterol; a high level in the blood is thought to...
The concentration of urinary albumin was measured by an immunochemical turbidimetric method (Roche Diagnostics), and urinary creatinine concentration was measured by a kinetic spectrophotometric method (Roche Diagnostics). The diagnosis of macrovascular dysfunction was based on the presence of PAD or CAD....
Creatinine is a breakdown metabolite of creatine phosphate in muscle1. It is eliminated by kidneys, 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 creat...
To better understand the role of the urea-to-creatinine ratio in chronic kidney disease patients, we assessed the epidemiology of the urea-to-creatinine ratio among hospitalised chronic kidney disease patients, and the association between the urea-to-creatinine ratio and inpatient clinical outcomes. ...
The Pearson correlation coefficient results (Table 6, left side) also showed age, in the third position, as a top feature among serum creatinine and ejection fraction. The Shapiro–Wilk test (Table 6, right side) generated p- values close to 0 for all the features, meaning that the null ...
After admission, demographic characters (age, sex), and vascular risk factors (drinking, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, fasting blood glucose, creatinine, and uric acid) were all recorded. Stroke severity was evaluated by a trained neurologist...

Indeed, lev- els of IL-6 and IL-8 were elevated 2 hours after CPB in patients with AKI, well before a detectable increase in creatinine. These results are similar to those observed with other urine and plasma biomarkers of AKI that have been measured in this cohort, including urinary IL-...
Baseline characteristics that were associated with potassium level greater than 5.5 mmol/L in multivariable models included type 2 diabetes; higher baseline potassium, serum creatinine, urine albumin:creatinine ratio, and NT-proBNP levels; Asian race; and lower body mass index. Clinical characteristics ...
It also led to significant increases in serum triglyceride (P < 0.0001) and creatinine (P = 0.002) concentrations and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase activity (P = 0.0001) and decrease in serum level of urea (P = 0.027). However, the latter four parameters remained within normal ranges. These ...
