between preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 μmol/L group and <200 μmol/L group (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of ARF after the operation was 9.7%. Preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 μmol/L, hypertension history and extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min were independent risk factors of ARF after the operation. The five-year survival rate of ARF after the operation was 56%. The preope...

Increased intracranial pressure is a further effect of brain injury due to structural damage and osmotic water imbalances (Edema). Mannitol works in the proximal tubules mannitol absorption tubular cells by mechanism pinocytosis. The fluid transfer will draw into intracellular, so that cell be switched broke. This phenomenon referred as "Nephrosis Osmotic", which administration may occur result...

It is well recognized that serum creatinine level provides a quick general assessment of renal function. However, we frequently encounter elderly hypertensive patients with renal involvement whose serum creatinine levels are within normal limits. The aim of this study was thus to determine whether serum creatinine level is a sensitive indicator of renal function in elderly hypertensive patients...

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry with liquid chromatography for the determination of serum creatinine is studied. After adding labeled (15N2) creatinine to the serum, creatinine was isolated using high performance liquid chromatography. Measurements were performed by electron impact mass spectrometry with use of a direct insertion device. Analytical results of the NIST (formerly NBS) SRM seru...

In clinical practice the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated from serum creatinine-based equations like the Cockcroft-Gault formula (C&G) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula (MDRD). Recently, serum cystatin C-based equations, the newer creatinine formula (The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula (CKD-EPI)), and equation that use both serum creatinine...

conventional assays of serum creatinine in the future and the MDRD formula has recently been re-calibrated to IDMStraceable serum creatinine values [4]. Until there is widespread adoption of IDMS creatinine analysis, we believe the four-variable MDRD formula represents an improvement compared with serum creatinine alone for detection of chronic kidney disease. As with any first order screening ...

Background: Hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. In the past, serum creatinine (Scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...

background glomerular filtration rate (gfr) is widely estimated by serum creatinine based equations such as cockcroft-gault (cg) standardized for body surface, and an abbreviated formula derived from mdrd (modification of diet in renal disease) study. however, some studies suggested that creatinine based estimation of gfr formula can be replaced by cystatin c based formula. objectives the aim o...

PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) in major burn patients is a common complication with high morbidity and mortality. The mainstream treatment is early diagnosis and rapid termination and prevention of the underlying insult. Therefore, it's essential to identify early biomarkers predicting AKI. METHODS A total of 85 patients who were admitted to the burn intensive care unit from June 2012 to J...

The renin-angiotensin system is involved in the progression of chronic renal disease of both diabetic and nondiabetic origin. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers have been demonstrated to reduce urinary protein excretion and attenuate the development of renal injury. This prospective, randomized, 12-month study assessed the effects of ramipril (N = ...
