The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out waste. (Photo credit: Image Source...
Hair changes during EGFR treatment may: Make the eyelashes grow very fast and become very long and bother your eyes Cause fast growth to eyebrows Cause hair on the scalp to become curly, fine, or brittle Start a few weeks to months after starting treatment and go away after treatment is ...
Why is urea always found in urine? What is urine? How can it be used as a diagnostic tool? What does PKU stand for? Describe the treatment. What is the difference between eGFR and GFR? What factors are taken into consideration when calculating both? What is meant by the isoelectric point...
DNA in vivo is often sharply distorted away from the canonical Watson–Crick structure; different DNA sequences vary greatly in the ease with which such sharp distortions can be accommodated. Most of the eukaryotic genomic DNA is bent around histones to form nucleosomes. The capacity of the DNA...
Stage 3a & 3b CKD: Mild to severe loss of kidney function, eGFR 30-59. Stage 4 CKD: Severe loss of kidney function, eG FR 15-29. Is GFR 94 normal? Results. A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range. A GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease. A GFR of 15 or lower may me...
In vitro immunological assays using T-cells among other cellular components isolated from the venous blood of a healthy donor or, in some cases, a patient who has experienced a hypersensitivity reaction, are among the gold standard of methods to elucidate the cellular pathophysiology of adverse reac...
the molecular mechanism that regulates host-microbiota homeostasis in normal and ASD states is not known. The analyses needed to address this knowledge gap are challenging to perform in humans and rodents due to the high costs and tedious process of comparing the microbiomes of multiple genetic mod...
Heart Failure (HF) is one of the leading problems in cardiology practice today. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and this is more relevant in the Asian subcontinent with a high population burden. Various regional registries in ...
be performed when people also havemacroalbuminuria. Microalbuminuria occurs when a small amount of albumin is present in the urine. It is a sign of kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. A healthcare provider may also order a microalbuminuria test if people have diabetes or high blood pressure...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a tool for studying gene expression at the single-cell level that has been widely used due to its unprecedented high resolution. In the present review, we outline the preparation process and sequencing platforms for the scRNA-seq analysis of solid tumor...
