Acute renal failure increases risk of death after cardiac surgery. However, it is not known whether more subtle changes in renal function might have an impact on outcome. Thus, the association between small serum creatinine changes after surgery and mortality, independent of other established perioperative risk indicators, was analyzed. In a prospective cohort study in 4118 patients who underwe...

The current study was conducted at the center for Diabetes and Endocrinology of Health Directorate Thi-Qar province, during period from January to July (2022). aimed evaluate Biochemical Markers diabetic foot ulcers patients by measuring levels HbA1c, Urea, Creatinine in serum. included a total 50 with they were (39 males 11 females) aged between 40-80 years. When compared apparently healthy pe...

Creatinine is a product of muscle protein breakdown cleared by the kidneys at a constant rate. The glomerular filtration rate is estimated based on serum creatinine. There is no definitive level of serum creatinine which is itself incompatible with human survival. We present the highest serum creatinine associated with survival based on a thorough review of the literature. A 34-year-old male pa...

AIMS Serum cystatin C, a novel marker of kidney function, is reported to be superior to serum creatinine as a risk factor for atherosclerotic disease, but associations may vary across vascular beds. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-sectional study of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in 3089 adult participants aged 40+ from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutriti...

LBM should be taken into account (1 ). However, as shown here and previously (3 ), the contribution of LBM to variations in serum creatinine is small. The group of subjects studied were all females, and this may account for the low contribution. However, their LBM covered a wide range (23.0–53.7 kg), and thus it is likely that the findings here would be widely applicable. These results suggest ...

Age-adjusted reference ranges for creatinine clearance were determined in 279 women, ages 40-95 years, who were housed in a metabolic research unit and consumed a meat-free diet. Creatinine clearance, but not serum creatinine, declined with age by 0.63 mL/min per 1.73 m2 per year. Serum and urine creatinine concentrations, used to calculate clearances, were analyzed by a kinetic Jaffé procedure...

chronic kidney disease (ckd) is probably the most important problem of public health in advanced countries. kidneys are often damaged as a result of high blood pressure. one of our main concerns in patients with hypertension is early detection of kidney disorders. the routine biomarkers such as creatinine have some limitation for this purpose, however recent studies suggest plasma ngal to be a ...

objective: diabetic nephropathy is a major diabetes complication. arterial resistance index (ri) may predict deterioration in kidney function. this study was designed to compare renal arterial ri in different stages of renal function according to glomerular filtration rate (gfr), serum creatinine level and proteinuria. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study on 81 diabetic patients in...

BACKGROUND/AIM We assess the impact of serum creatinine at baseline on complete remission rate and long-term outcome in severe lupus nephritis (SLN). METHODS A total of 86 adult patients with SLN [International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) class IV lesions] were evaluated based on baseline serum creatinine levels (≤1.0, 1.01-1.5, 1.51-2.0, 2.01-3.0, and >3.0 mg/dl; ...
