Atypical Urinary Opiate Excretion Pattern

The pattern of nondipping and urinary albumin excretion.

The Pattern of Nondipping and Urinary Albumin Excretion To the Editor: We read the article published recently by Oliveras et al1 with interest. The authors showed that, in resistant hypertensive patients, there were significant associations of microalbuminuria with older age, reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate, increased nighttime systolic blood pressure, and elevated daytime, nightti...

Urinary growth hormone excretion.

Urinary methylmalonic acid excretion.

Urinary glucocorticoid excretion.

In recent years two comparatively simple methods have been described for the assessment of urinary glucocorticoid excretion. Reddy, Jenkins, and Thorn in 1952 gave details of a method for estimating urinary " 17-hydroxycorticoids." This involved extraction of the urinary glucocorticoids (cortisone and hydrocortisone) and their metabolites with n-butyl alcohol and the use of the Porter-Silber co...

Urinary Adiponectin Excretion

OBJECTIVE Markers reliably identifying vascular damage and risk in diabetic patients are rare, and reports on associations of serum adiponectin with macrovascular disease have been inconsistent. In contrast to existing data on serum adiponectin, this study assesses whether urinary adiponectin excretion might represent a more consistent vascular damage marker in type 2 diabetes.
