creatinine/fever

The efficiency, sensitivity and specificity of measurements of serum creatinine phosphokinase in the screening of malignant hyperthermia-susceptible patients in routine clinical practice has been examined. Although the overall efficiency of this screening method was high, the predictive value of a

The association of fever, nasal congestion and reversible rise in serum creatinine in a patient receiving azathioprine is reported. An identical pattern of symptoms was induced after two rechallenges with azathioprine. The increases in serum creatinine were not associated with renal parenchymal

OBJECTIVE The geriatric population (aged ≥65 years) accounts for 12-24% of all emergency department (ED) visits. Of them, 10% have a fever, 70-90% will be admitted and 7-10% of will die within a month. Therefore, mortality prediction and appropriate disposition after ED treatment are of great

Proper identification of active cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections are helpful for monitoring antiviral treatment in transplant recipients. Qualitative and quantitative CMV, EBV DNA PCR techniques in the context of serological tests are performed for early detection and

Height, weigh, urine volume/24 hours, serum creatinine (Scr) and urine creatinine were measured in 207 normal people and 232 patients with EHF. The clearance Creatinine rate (Ccr) was calculated by 24 hour urine volume method (therapy measure method) and Cockcroft's method (formulation method). The

Chikungunya fever is an arthropod-borne viral illness characterised by high grade fever and incapacitating arthralgias. It is considered benign; however, in the recent outbreaks, several complications have been reported worldwide. We report a case of male patient with Chikungunya fever, possibly

Until now, there is non-specific treatment, and exploring early and novel biomarkers to determine the disease severity and prognosis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) would be of importance for clinician to take systematic and timely intervention. This study observed the expression of

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to explore the role of laboratory parameters as early indicators of severity and as effective predictors of prognosis in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). METHODS A total of 356 patients were enrolled in this study and were divided

To investigate the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the increased permeability of vascular endothelial cells after Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection in humans, the concentration of VEGF in serum from HTNV infected patients was quantified with sandwich ELISA. Generally, the level of
