The excretion of urine is one of several bodily activities which is subject to a daily rhythm. It has been clearly demonstrated how the rate of urine output is reduced during the hours normally devoted to sleep and how this rhythmic reduction in flow persists in spite of regular fluid intake throughout the 24 hours and in spite of alteration in the periods of sleep and activity (Mills, 1951). T...

BACKGROUND To investigate the predictive value of decreased urine output based on the Risk of renal dysfunction, Injury to the kidney, Failure of kidney function, Loss of kidney function and End-stage renal disease (RIFLE) classification on contrast- induced acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in intensive care (ICU) patients. METHODS All patients who received contrast media (CM) injection for CT sc...

IN1938, Anderson, Haymaker, and Joseph (1) reported the finding of increased concentrations of cortin in the blood and urine of patients with Cushing’s syndrome. Since then, as methods for the determination of cortical steroids have been improved, they have been applied to the urine and plasma of patients as a measure of adrenocortical activity. The reaction of 17, 21-dihydroxy-20-ketosteroids ...

conclusions in our study, hydroalcoholic extract of cyperus scariosus linn. offered nephroprotection in the form of aki prevention and for the treatment of established aki. results serum creatinine was significantly increased (p < 0.05) while 24 hours urine output, urine creatinine, and serum protein were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in rats treated with gentamicin as compared to the cont...

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of critical illness with both attributed morbidity and mortality at short-term and long-term. The incidence of AKI reported in critically ill patients varies substantially with the population evaluated and the definitions used. We aimed to assess which of the AKI definitions (RIFLE, AKIN or KDIGO) with or without urine output criter...

AIMS Hyponatraemia is an electrolyte disorder that occurs in advanced congestive heart failure (HF) and worsens prognosis. We explored the usefulness of tolvaptan, which has shown promising results in the treatment of this condition. METHODS AND RESULTS This study is based on a retrospective national registry (2011-15) of patients hospitalized with refractory HF and hyponatraemia who agreed t...

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Flueggea leucopyrus Wild aqueous extract (FLAE) on the urinary output of rats. Method: Three different doses of FLAE (500, 1000 and 1500 mgkg), furosemide (13 mg kg as diuretic reference) and distilled water (as control) were orally administered to healthy adult hydrated rats. Cumulative urine output was monitored hourly over 6 h. Selected urinary parameter...

Background: Nocturia is one of the most common causes of sleep disruption and of reduced quality of life. This nocturnal tendency to void increases with age, and is reported to affect men more than women. The underlying causes of these ageand sexrelated differences have been inconsistently explained in literature. There are age-related changes in sleep architecture and in the day-night rhythm o...
