A prospective study evaluating impact on renal function following percutaneous nephrolithotomy using Tc99m ethylenedicysteine renal scan: Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?

Investigative and clinical urology
PURPOSE: A prospective study evaluating impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on renal function following PCNL using ethylenedicysteine (EC) renal scan. Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?

Assessing urinary levels of IL-18, NGAL and albumin creatinine ratio in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
AIMS: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious microvascular complication of a longstanding hyperglycemia. This study aims to evaluate whether urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and urinary Interleukin-18 possess a better diagnos...

The association between serum uric acid to creatinine ratio and renal disease progression in type 2 diabetic patients in Chinese communities.

Journal of diabetes and its complications
AIMS: Serum uric acid (UA) increases in patients with kidney disease due to the impaired UA clearance. The present study sought to evaluate the association between UA/creatinine ratio (UA/Cr) and renal disease progression in patients with type 2 diab...

A dynamic model for predicting graft function in kidney recipients' upcoming follow up visits: A clinical application of artificial neural network.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Predicting the function of transplanted kidneys would help clinicians in individualized medical interventions. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive tool for a future value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at upcomin...

Association of Reduced Nicotine Content Cigarettes With Smoking Behaviors and Biomarkers of Exposure Among Slow and Fast Nicotine Metabolizers: A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced its intention to reduce the nicotine content in combustible cigarettes but must base regulation on public health benefits. Fast nicotine metabolizers may be at risk for increased smo...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Northeastern Brazil: study of 25 cases and review of the literature.

Advances in rheumatology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Little has been published about the epidemiology of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in South America, especially in the intertropical zone, and no epidemiological data from Brazil are available. The purpose of the present study was...

High-normal albuminuria and incident chronic kidney disease in a male nondiabetic population.

Clinical and experimental nephrology
BACKGROUND: High-normal albuminuria is an important risk factor for incident chronic kidney disease in diabetic populations, in contrast to an uncertain association in nondiabetic populations. This study aimed to reveal the relationship between high-...

Population pharmacokinetics of continuous infusion of piperacillin in critically ill patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
Dosing recommendations for continuous infusion of piperacillin, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, are mainly guided by outputs from population pharmacokinetic models constructed with intermittent infusion data. However, the probability of targ...
