et al., 1967; Zorab et al., 1970). Allison, Walker, and Smith (1966) showed that the ratio of total hydroxyproline to creatinine in a 24-hour collection of urine gives more consistent results than measurement of hydroxyproline alone, an observation which has been extended to random samples of urine collected during waking hours (Howells, Wharton, and McCance, 1967; Younoszai et al., 1969). Whar...

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the prevalent diseases post-Menopausal women. Hence to evaluate severity osteoporosis serum calcium, ALP and urinary hydroxyproline used as bone resorption marker.Method: 30 post-menopausal women with were compared healthy pre-menopausal 25-40 years Random Blood sample collected from venipuncture centrifuged get serum. Fasting Urine was 1.2 drops 6 N HCI added...

Urinary glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyproline excretion was studied in 11 patients with clear evidence of Paget's disease of bone. Urinary hydroxyproline, cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC)-precipitable uronic acid and CPC-precipitable hexosamine were expressed as ratios to urinary creatinine. Urine samples were concentrated x 1000 by vacuum dialysis and the glycosaminoglycans examined by electroph...

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...

We measured daily excretion rates for urinary protein and the ratios of urinary protein to creatinine in 24-h urines and in untimed urines in 60 healthy adults, 30 patients with kidney disease, and 22 kidney-transplant recipients. The ratios for urinary protein/creatinine, mg/g, in untimed urines and in 24-h urines from the same subjects were closely correlated (r = 0.97) for rates of protein e...

OBJECTIVES To determine prospectively the incidence and cause of nephrocalcinosis in preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN Inborn babies of gestation less than 32 weeks or birth weight less than 1500 g were eligible to be entered into a prospective observational study. Two renal ultrasound scans were performed, the first at 1 month postnatal age and the second at term or discharge. Data were collecte...

The aim of the present study was to compare the magnesium bioavailability from four mineral waters with different types of mineralization (e.g. SO42-, HCO3-, calcium) with the magnesium bioavailability from bread and from a magnesium supplement. A single-center, randomized, controlled trial with a crossover design with 22 healthy men and women was conducted at the Institute of Food Science and ...
