Psyllium Together with Allopurinol Can Efficiently Reduce the Increased Serum Level of Uric Acid, Creatinine and Urea: A Case Report

Background: Medicinal plants have potential to affect therapeutically procedures. In this study, the therapeutical effects of psyllium on a patient with highly increased level of uric acid, creatinine, and urea have been studied. Case Report: The case was a 50-yr-old woman affected by diabetes mellitus. Her blood biochemical analyses, showed an increased levels of uric acid (9.70±0.30...

Creatine and creatinine metabolism.

The goal of this review is to present a comprehensive survey of the many intriguing facets of creatine (Cr) and creatinine metabolism, encompassing the pathways and regulation of Cr biosynthesis and degradation, species and tissue distribution of the enzymes and metabolites involved, and of the inherent implications for physiology and human pathology. Very recently, a series of new discoveries ...

Creatinine metabolism in humans with decreased renal function: creatinine deficit.

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that, in a patient with decreased renal function and an increased plasma creatinine concentration, a significant quantity of creatinine is excreted into the gut, as is true of urea and uric acid, and is metabolized by gut flora. [Methyl14C]creatinine was given intravenously to five patients and [methyl-14C] creatinine or Lcarbony!-14C] creatinine w...

Metabolism of creatinine in vivo.

Two forms of radiolabeled creatinine were used in this study, [carbonyl-14C]- and [amidino-14C]creatinine, the latter being synthesized in this laboratory. These labeled compounds were given intravenously to rabbits. Specimens of plasma, urine, feces, and selected tissues were collected. These were liquid-chromatographed and the separated components compared for radioactivity and identity. This...
