Spreadsheets may be created to include the Cockcroft-Gault Formula (CGF) for creatinine-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) provides a more accurate method for perioperative risk assessment of renal function than serum creatinine. CrCl may be used to develop guidelines for renal protective management strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass. CGF uses seru...

Creatinine measurement is the key parameter in detecting renal, muscular and thyroid dysfunction. The accurate detection of creatinine level may be informative regarding functional processes these systems help early acute diseases.There are lots techniques available for human blood serum, most them mainly based on spectroscopic (spectrophotometry, colorimetry fluorimetric). Other electrochemica...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES For addressing the influence of muscle mass on serum and urinary creatinine and serum cystatin C, body composition was assessed by skinfold thickness measurement and bioelectrical impedance analyses. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A total of 170 healthy individuals (92 women, 78 men) were classified as sedentary or with mild or moderate/intense physica...

A 58-year-old woman was referred to nephrology department because acute kidney injury had developed after left hemicolectomy and partial ureterectomy due to left ureterocolic fistula with ureteral stone. She had a history of left partial nephrectomy because of traumatic renal injury thirty seven years ago. Her baseline serum creatinine level was 0.9mg/dL. Two days after the operation, serum cre...

objective: to investigate the anti-urolithiatic effect of aqueous extract of leaves of bryophyllum pinnatum (b. pinnatum) on ethylene glycol-induced renal calculi. materials and methods: thirty-six wistar male rats were randomly divided into six equal groups. group a animals received distilled water for 28 days. group b to group f animals received 1% v/v ethylene glycol in distilled water for 2...

Measuring serum creatinine is cheap and commonly done in daily practice. However, interpretation of serum creatinine results is not always easy. In this review, we will briefly remind the physiological limitations of serum creatinine due notably to its tubular secretion and the influence of muscular mass or protein intake on its concentration. We mainly focus on the analytical limitations of se...

BACKGROUND The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease is supranormal in childhood but falls steeply with age, often culminating in renal failure. The risk factors underlying these observations are unclear. We therefore sought to investigate the relationships between blood pressure, renal hemodynamics, and urinary albumin excretion in subjects with SS disease and...

Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation in older adults using a creatinine clearance/24-hour (CrCl) or an equation based on serum creatinine, are often considered equivalent by clinicians.

abstract background: thalassemias are the most common inherited blood disorders caused by some mutations which can reduce the synthesis of globin chains. iron overload and its organ deposition are responsible for functional abnormalities and tissue injury in patients who affected by β-thalassemia major. the aim of this case-control study was evaluation of hematological parameters, oxidative str...

Treatment of kidney diseases with a combination therapy of allopathic and traditional medicines with special reference to the role herbal medicines in maintaining serum creatinine and Serum Urea Levels without the dialysis procedures, thereby the patient benefits in less dependence on dialysis and treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term efficacy of hero-mineral preparati...
