The clinical research for serum creatinine

Most clinical laboratories now align their creatinine measurements against a new standardized isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) method to measure serum creatinine.
The IDMS method would result in a comparative overestimation of the corresponding calculated GFR in some patients with normal renal function. A few medicines are dosed even in normal renal function on that derived GFR. The dose, unless further modified, could now be higher than desired, potentially causing increased drug-related toxicity.

A concern as of late 2010 relates to the adoption of a new analytical methodology, and a possible impact this may have in clinical medicine.
A 2009 Japanese study found a lower serum creatinine level to be associated with an increased risk for the development of type 2 diabetes in Japanese men.

Normal Conditions of Bubbles in Urine

图片
Here are some benign conditions that can cause urine to bubble. Bubbles during Rapid Urination Dehydration can cause people to urinate rapidly. If bubbles in urine are due to dehydration, increasing the level of hydration can help reverse this finding. Bubbles due to Mild Dehydration Mild dehydration can result in bubbles in urine. This occurs because mild dehydration causes the urine to concentrate and highly concentrated urine tends to bubble. Because people with diabetes are at high risk for dehydration, they may experience bubbles in their urine more often than those who do not have diabetes. Bubbles during Pregnancy During pregnancy some women experience kidney enlargement. This enlargement can result in urine that bubbles. When the amount of amino acids exceeds the renal tubules ability to absorb the acids, protein can escape into the urine. Protein in the urine can cause the urine to bubble. Abnormal Conditions of Bubbles in Urine There are times when bub

The best mix of light meals for kidney patients

图片
The light diet should be diversified in food, and in order to ensure the rationality of nutritious eating in a weight-reducing diet, do not overlook these   five   types of food! 1 fruit Fruit is one of the important sources of vitamin supplements in the daily diet, and it is extremely important for regulating metabolism in the body and can promote our metabolism. 2 vegetables Vegetables also belong to low-carbohydrate foods, and contain nutrient-rich antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and cellulose, which are important factors in improving immunity and are important safeguards for the normal digestion of the gastrointestinal tract. 3 soy products Soybean products contain protein that is comparable to meat, but the calories are very low. At the same time, most soy products contain a lot of fiber, which is positive for the decomposition of fat and the suppression of fat deposits. 4 lean meat Lean, rich in protein, is enough to supply our body with the protein it needs e

What is the definition for the light diet?

A truly light diet is a diet that tends to be light and light on the premise of balanced diet and reasonable nutrition. One of the criteria for a light diet is: less oil, less sugar, less salt, heavy taste, and proper cooking. 1 Choose the right cooking method If we want to eat healthy, we have better choose steamed, boiled, cold, etc. to maximize the preservation of food nutrition cooking. 2 less salt The daily salt intake of adults should not exceed 6 grams. Eating too salty will make the body's metabolic waste not drain well, and water retention in the body causes edema and obesity. 3 less sugar World Health Organization: The daily sugar intake of adults and children should be controlled under 50 grams, preferably no more than 25 grams. Consumption of large amounts of added sugar will stimulate the rapid rise of insulin levels, thereby accelerating the synthesis of fat, and even trigger the risk of diabetes. 4 bogey taste Heavy flavors ar
