The urinary extraction of albumin, retinol binding protein, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase were studied in 60 children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and in 45 normal children to find out whether the renal tubules played a part in causing the early increase in urinary excretion of albumin that occurs in diabetes mellitus. Two overnight urine samples were collected and the protein...

Objective- To evaluate the some serum biochemical alterations after urinary diversion with colonic segment.Design- Experimental in vivo study.Animals- five adult healthy mixed breed dogs of both sexes weighing between 25-40 kg. Procedures- In this approach, fifteen centimeters of the descending colon with preservation of its mesenteric vessels was resected and this segment longitudinally was op...

to evaluate the value of random urinary protein creatinine ratio in prediction of 24h proteinuria in hypertensive pregnancies. method: random urine samples and routine 24h urine collections were collected from hypertensive pregnant women (n=100). reliability of random urinary protein-creatinine ratio was assessed by receiver operator characteristic (roc) curve to detect significant proteinuria ...

Microalbuminuria is a mild urinary albumin elevation and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio is recommended for microalbuminuria assessment, because it reflects urinary albumin excretion. Muscular mass could affect albumin/creatinine ratio, because urinary creatinine reflects muscular mass. The study investigated high albumin/creatinine ratio attributed t...

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 ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the third member of the natriuretic peptide family, is considered to be involved in the regulation of vascular tone. Furthermore, the recent demonstration of CNP in human kidney and urine may indicate a role for CNP in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the possible role of CNP in renal ...

BACKGROUND Sodium intake and albuminuria have important roles in blood pressure and renal progression. Although their relationship has been reported, the results have not been consistent and all studies have examined small populations. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the role of the estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion as a marker of sodium intake and albuminuria. DESIGN This investiga...
