Objective This meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy and safety of peritoneal dialysis (PD) hemodialysis (HD) in treatment diabetic kidney failure. Methods Five databases were selected retrieve research on PD HD for failure until 6 August 2022. A fixed-effects or random-effects model was utilized calculate standardized mean difference (SMD) odds ratio (OR) based heterogeneity among studies...

1. Urinary excretion of 3-methylhistidine and creatinine have been measured in normal male and female humans ranging in age from pre-term neonates to 68 years to assess changes in the rate of muscle protein degradation and in muscle mass. 2. The 3-methylhistidine excretion by six adult men was measured before and after subjects were transferred to meat-free diets. It was established that a meat...

Introduction. Percentage of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) relative to total IgA in serum was recently reported to correlate with proteinuria at time of sampling and during follow-up for pediatric and adult patients with IgA nephropathy. We sought to determine whether this association exists in another cohort of pediatric patients with IgA nephropathy. Methods. Subjects were younger than 18...

BACKGROUND The usage of urine protein/creatinine ratio to estimate daily urine protein excretion is prevalent, but relatively little attention has been paid to the influence of urine concentration and its impact on test accuracy. We took advantage of 24-hour urine collection to examine both urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) and daily urine protein excretion, with the latter as the reference...

Transient kidney damage is identified in type-2 Diabetes Mellitus(DM) and Hypertension(HT). Most of the Indian studies that evaluate the association between renal damage and DM and HT were carried out with the conventional markers. In this study renal involvement in patients with DM, HT and both were assessed by conventional biomarkers (urea, creatinine, uricacid, urine protein-creatinine ratio...

We measured daily excretion rates for urinary protein and the ratios of urinary protein to creatinine in 24-h urines and in untimed urines in 60 healthy adults, 30 patients with kidney disease, and 22 kidney-transplant recipients. The ratios for urinary protein/creatinine, mg/g, in untimed urines and in 24-h urines from the same subjects were closely correlated (r = 0.97) for rates of protein e...
