creatinine/atrophy

The present study was conducted to develop a special formula to predict creatinine clearance (CCr, ml/min) in the elderly with chronic muscle atrophy using serum albumin (Alb, g/dl). We obtained 90 data sets including actual body weight (BW, kg), urinary creatinine excretion (UCr, mg/24 h), serum

The kidney is a dose-limiting organ for upper abdominal radiotherapy. In this study, radiation-induced kidney injury represented by changes of creatinine clearance (Ccr) and renal parenchymal volume measured by computed tomography (CT) were evaluated by analysing dose-volume histograms (DVHs) in

OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple system atrophy (MSA). Creatine, which is converted to creatinine, has an anti-oxidative effect. Our aim is to clarify the correlations between creatinine and the occurrence as well as the progression of MSA. METHODS A total of

Abstract We evaluated the reliability of serum creatinine concentration (Scr) to estimate renal function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To quantify muscle volume (study 1) the lean body mass (LBM) in 25 women RA patients and 10 controls was measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry

OBJECTIVE Early neurological deterioration (END) occurs in about 20 to 40 per cent of patients with acute ischaemic stroke and results in increased mortality and functional disability. In recent studies relative dehydration has been found to be associated with END in patients with acute ischaemic

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease is associated with malnutrition and inflammation. These processes may lead to loss of skeletal muscle and reduced physical performance. Associations of kidney function with muscle composition and longitudinal measures of physical performance are

BACKGROUND Point-of-care testing for creatinine blood concentrations may be useful in predicting the onset of recurrent conditions threatening renal function in children at home. Our aim was to evaluate two point-of-care systems for creatinine testing vs. an automated creatinine

Increasing number of female kidney recipients deciding to born a baby makes us to investigate the impact of pregnancy on graft survival. The aim of study was to find the parameter that would have the predictive value for graft function following delivery. Scr and P in 33 pregnant renal allograft

BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and kidney disease may have shared risk factors, including cardiovascular disease risk factors; additionally AMD and dense deposit disease share a common causal link, with both associated with polymorphisms in the complement pathway. Accordingly, we

Glycemic variability (GV) creates challenges to glycemic control and may be an independent marker for unfavorable outcome in management of patients with diabetes. This study was designed to investigate the effect of excessive visit-to-visit GV on the progression of endothelial and renal dysfunction

BACKGROUND Uric acid has been linked to the progression of native kidney disease. Studies evaluating its contribution to allograft function in kidney transplant recipients, among whom hyperuricemia is common, have yielded mixed results. METHODS We evaluated the association between baseline uric acid

BACKGROUND Because of similarities between brain and kidney microvascular disease, there may be a relationship between measures of renal microvascular disease and brain structural changes in middle aged or elderly individuals. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR),
