Creatinine

A 37-year-old primigravida presented at 8 weeks’ gestation with sudden abdominal pain, which lasted for one hour. An initial examination revealed a blood pressure (BP) of 89/54 mmHg with a pulse rate of 82/min. The uterus was of appropriately sized for gestational age without her abdominal muscular defence and the viable foetus was detectable by transvaginal ultrasonography. Her haemoglobin level was 11.2 g/dl. After two hours, her pain progressively worsened and abdominal guarding developed.…

(2013) study on the polyherbal formulation of Aerva lanata with other herbs at a dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg decreased the levels of calcium and phosphate in the urine, serum uric acid, creatinine, urea and BUN in ethylene glycol (0.75%) induced urolithic rats. It also enhanced the urine pH, volume and magnesium content. The anti-urolithic activity was further evidenced by the histological evaluation, that is, decrease in the deposition of…

decided not continue routine physical in the last 10 years. Although obtaining a correct diagnosis could be challenging, but a thorough history, physical assessment and conducting required test such as urinalysis, serum creatinine, postvoid residue and prostatic…

(795 ±643.5), followed by the mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MesPGN) (598.7 ± 166.5) while lowest level was found in patients with membranous nephropathy (387.5 ± 101.1). There was a significant correlation between NF-кB level and serum creatinine level among the whole patients before treatment (r=0.531, P= 0.003) and after three months follow up (r=0.568, P= 0.001). Among each study group; we couldn’t elicit a significant positive correlation with proteinuria except in the FSGS…

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and progressive clinical syndrome that can result from any structural abnormality or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood.1 The term “heart failure” is preferred over “congestive heart failure” because some patients may show no signs or symptoms of volume overload.1 An estimated 5.1 million Americans >20 yrs of age have HF based on NHANES 2007-2010 data.2 By 2030, projection show that the prevalence of HF will increase 25% from…

blood supply to the kidneys, and trauma of the kidneys are the leading causes of acute renal failure (Lowth, 2016). This life-threatening issue can typically be detected and diagnosed by a curt alteration in the concentration of creatinine serum (Coca, 2010). Creatinine is the product of muscle use released and excreted by the kidneys. With this, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be found to measure the filtration of blood capacity through the kidneys each minute dependent on the…

Exploring and creating are two thing I love. When I was younger I had craziest ideas I felt like anything was possible, building or good puzzle could keep me occupied for hours. I’m still very much like that child I was back then. There many things I didn’t grow out of like my love of billing and designing. As children my dad read to us Books us a lot I always admired the people that thought differently about the ordinary, said the thing that seems outrages and proved them possible, offer a…

transplant operation was successful and his kidney function was stable for decades with the support of anti-rejection medications, and the watch of a nephrologist. In 2015, my father's kidney function began to gradually decrease. An increased level of creatinine was noticed, nothing of high concern initially, but red…

Pathophysiology for chronic kidney failure • Chronic kidney failure, also previously known as chronic kidney disease, is a nonreversible disease. The kidney may lose up to 80% of its nephrons before any signs and symptoms may appear. The nephron is the smallest part of the kidney and its job is to filter blood. The loss of nephrons can come from various ways ranging from diabetes, hypertension, urinary tract obstruction, chronic glomerular disease and chronic infection. Diabetes causes loss…

factors is critical in preventing cardiometabolic risk. A comprehensive diabetic evaluation should be conducted and it consists of a complete medical history, physical examination, laboratory evaluation for lipid panel, liver function tests, serum creatinine, and urine albumin. Any possible referrals should be made immediately to respective specialists (Hillaire & Woods,…
