OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to compare the success of spot urine protein/creatinine ratio in predicting 24-h proteinuria with different variables such as sampling time and wait before analysis.MATERIAL AND METHODS: included 100 pregnant women who were tested for their protein levels simultaneously checked upon admission our clinic a complaint high blood pressure between March 2014 Decembe...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (spot-ACR), urine creatinine corrects for tonicity but also reflects muscle mass. Low muscle mass is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized that the spot-ACR would be higher in women, lower-weight persons, and older individuals, independent of timed urine albumin excretion (24hr-UAE), and accordingly, that spot-...

Dear editor: Methadone Maintenance Treatment programs (MMT) are the procedures of choice for opioid addiction since the 60`s (Dole & Nyswander, 1965), but the interindividual variabilit...

The objective of our study was to evaluate and standardise the method of spot (random) urine protein creatinine ratio (UP/C) for estimation of proteinuria. The study contained 241 study participants in a tertiary care hospital inclusive of 208 cases and 33 normal volunteers. The 24 hour urine protein estimation was done on 24 hour urine samples and UP/C ratio was calculated on random urine samp...

background: nephrotic syndrome is a disorder that leads to hyperlipidemia. l-carnitine and genistein can effect on lipid metabolism and the syndrome. in the present study, we have delved into the separate and the twin-effects of l-carnitine and genistein on the gene expressions of hmg-coa reductase and ldl receptor in experimental nephrotic syndrome. methods: in this controlled experimental stu...

Uromodulin is a protein which is produced by the tubular cells of the thick ascending limb in the kidneys and the creatinine to uromodulin ratio in serum recently has attracted interest as a marker of kidney disease. Whether this ratio also is associated with cardiovascular event risk is unknown. This article provides additional data on the association of the creatinine to uromodulin ratio with...

Treatment c Optimize glucose control to reduce the risk or slow the progression of diabetic kidney disease. A c Optimize blood pressure control to reduce the risk or slow the progression of diabetic kidney disease. A c For people with nondialysis-dependent diabetic kidney disease, dietary protein intake should be approximately 0.8 g/kg body weight per day (the recommended daily allowance). For ...

Three groups of 11 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit does, each were reared from 12 weeks of age on iso-energetic diets containing 16, 14 or 12% crude protein (CP) were used to study influences on productive performance, digestibility, some carcass traits, haematological, biochemical and hormonal parameters of rabbit does. The results showed rabbits fed on 16% protein diet had heavier body weights...
