creatinine/fatigue

The aim of this audit was to assess the yield of a selection of laboratory tests as part of the clinical assessment of the fatigued athlete. Clinical charts and blood test results of fifty consecutive athletes who presented with the primary complaint of fatigue were retrospectively reviewed. Blood

BACKGROUND The present study aimed at evaluating the possible correlation between fatigue and demographic, clinical and laboratory variables in chronic HD patients. METHODS Sixty-two chronic HD patients were assessed for the presence of fatigue through the SF-36 Vitality subscale and were

BACKGROUND Defensive coping is an established cardiovascular risk factor in Africans. Additionally, chronic, excessive or inadequate hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) stress responses could either increase or decrease cortisol responses, which may relate to renal impairment. We scrutinised

Long-distance flights can cause a number of clinical problems in both passengers and crewmembers. Jet lag as well as mild hypoxia resulting from incomplete cabin pressurization could contribute to these problems. The objective of this study was to assess, using a chronobiological approach, the

OBJECTIVE To identify biomarkers of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and related disorders through analysis of microarray data, pathology test results and self-report symptom profiles. METHODS To empirically derive the symptom domains of the illnesses, factor analysis was performed on responses to

OBJECTIVE To investigate in detail various biochemical and pathophysiological indices of muscle pathology in acute onset post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS). METHODS Twenty three patients with PVFS (of mean duration 4.6 years) were subjected to needle biopsy for histomorphometry and total RNA

BACKGROUND Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) present with profound fatigue, flu-like symptoms, pain, cognitive impairment, orthostatic intolerance, and post-exertional malaise (PEM), and exacerbation of some or all of the baseline symptoms. CASE REPORT We

Aim of our study was to determine if there were distinct, disease-related patterns of urinary analytes in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia (CFS/FM) compared to normal controls (NC). Urine was collected from these subjects for two consecutive 24 h periods and

This review summarizes the symptoms, signs and laboratory abnormalities seen in 59 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), 2 patients with post-infectious CFS and in 26 patients with possible CFS whose illnesses fulfill the criteria proposed by the study group of the Ministry of Welfare,

Fatigue induced by prolonged exercise not only leads to the decrease of exercise capacity, but also might be the cause of many diseases. In consideration of the side effects of pharmacological drugs, dietary supplements seem to be a better choice to ameliorate exercise-induced fatigue. The present

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of leucine-enriched essential amino acid (LEAA) supplementation on muscle fatigue and the level of inflammatory cytokines in wheelchair basketball players after a basketball game and

OBJECTIVE Network analysis of electroencephalograph (EEG) signals to study the effect of fatigue and sleep deprivation in human drivers and its validation using blood biochemical parameters. METHODS We present a new method of detection of human fatigue and sleepiness by studying the variation of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of cortisol/creatinine ratios in urine specimens collected at bedtime (PM) and the following morning (AM) in a general endocrine practice as a means of assessing pituitary-adrenal function in normal volunteers, outpatients with symptoms but no clinical endocrine

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Unani Ajmal06, an herbal formulation for management of chronic renal failure (CRF). The therapeutic evaluations of three different formulations such as Itrifal Kashneezi, Jawarsih Zarooni Sada medicines were conducted on number 35 CRF patients

OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency of factors associated with restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS RLS diagnosis was investigated (International RLS Study Group, IRLSSG) and severity was assessed (IRLS rating scale) in 104
