Creatinineis a normal by-product of creatine metabolism. Due to the spontaneous conversion of creatine into creatinine,diet(high in animal protein), proper use of creatine supplements, and/or vigorous exercise can often lead to a creatinine level reading at or above the normal (>1.5 mg/dL), ...
Calcium, a mineral essential for proper functioning of your nerves, muscles and heart. Creatinine, a byproduct of muscle activity. Blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, the amount of the waste product urea your kidneys help remove from your blood. These indicate the status of a person's metabolism, ...
Topics include the factors of reducing the number of bacterial colonies, the aspects of lognormal distribution in bacterial colonies which include plasma total anti-oxidant concentrations and fasting plasma glucose concentrations and the attributes of urine micro-albumin-to-creatinine ratio....
Since ammonia is toxic to your body, you need a way to remove it. That happens partly in the liver, where the ammonia is broken down into the less-toxic chemical, urea. Urea then combines with water and gets flushed into your bladder through the kidneys as urine, protecting your body fr...
alanine aminotransferase and creatinine120. Data on miltefosine use in East Africa are restricted to one study that was conducted in northern Ethiopia, in which it was found to be as safe and effective as sodium stibogluconate in HIV-negative patients and safer, but less effective, in HIV co-...

“Urine is one of the body’s waste products, and urinating is one of the ways the body gets rid of excess amounts of what it doesn’t need. Typically, this means urine is made up of water, urea, creatinine, and minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and more,” says Mike Bohl...
1. What is the classic cardinal symptom of a kidney disorder? 2. How does the antidiuretic hormone affect the kidneys? 3. What medications damage the kidneys? 4. How does hemorrhage and hypotension damage the kidneys? 5. Why do we measure urine creatinine ...
In skeletal muscle, both creatine and PCr are degraded non-enzymatically to creatinine, which is exported to the blood and excreted in the urine [1]. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine, which would otherwise increase in the blood. Therefore, blood creatinine levels can be used as a proxy marker...
All ages, top 10 global risk factors for death, 2019. Kidney dysfunction (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2or albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g) was the seventh leading global level 3 risk factor for death in 2019. The 3 leading global...
