Early Acute Kidney Injury based on Serum Creatinine or Cystatin C in Intensive Care Unit after Major Trauma
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in critically ill patients and is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, serum cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine in early detection of renal function impairment. We compared estimated GFR based on serum cystatin C with estimated GFR based on serum creatinine for early detection of ...
متن کاملSerum NGAL and Cystatin C Comparison With Urinary Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio and Inflammatory Biomarkers as Early Predictors of Renal Dysfunction in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Introduction Diabetic nephropathy is associated with specific histological changes. Early detection of poor glomerular and tubular function can be achieved with biomarkers of diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of kidney dysfunction biomarkers in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Patients with T2D were grouped according to their glycated hemoglobin level. Patients' urine...
متن کاملUrinary guanidinoacetate-guanidinosuccinate ratio: an indicator of kidney dysfunction.
Five formerly unidentified peaks in the column chromatogram of urinary compounds giving the Sakaguchi reaction appear to be proteins or polypeptides containing arginine. If these substances, salts, and creatine are first removed, then guanidinoacetate (GAA), guanidinosuccinate (GSA), and creatine are readily measured in urine. This technique was applied to the urine of 17 healthy men and 10 hea...
متن کاملUtility of serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio in diagnosis of postrenal acute kidney injury
BACKGROUND In obstructive uropathy, despite a severe increase in the serum creatinine (Cr) levels, only a mild cystatin C (CysC) increase was previously reported. Therefore, we aimed to determine the availability of serum Cr/CysC ratio in predicting postrenal acute kidney injury (AKI). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study involving 61-adult patients with heterogeneous AKI ca...
متن کاملPitfalls of the urinary albumin creatinine ratio in detection of early diabetic kidney disease.
Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is the leading cause of kidney disease world-wide, for which albuminuria is the currently accepted biomarker. Despite the increased use of glucose-lowering medications and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, prevalence of DKD continues to rise in proportion to the prevalence of diabetes 1 . Development of chronic kidney disease in patients with ...
