High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, Blood Urea Nitrogen, and Serum Creatinine Can Predict Severe Acute Pancreatitis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Early prediction of disease severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) would be helpful for triaging patients to the appropriate level of care and intervention. The aim of the study was to develop a model able to predict Severe Acute Pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS A total of 647 patients with AP were enrolled. The demographic data, hematocrit, High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (H...
متن کاملUse of Systemic Blood Urea Nitrogen Levels
Urea rebound refers to an early postdialysis phenomenon in which urea returns to the systemic circulation, raising the blood level to a near plateau over a period of 0.5 to 1 hour [1]. The urea involved is believed to have come from either the intracellular compartment by means of diffusion resulting from the dialysis-induced concentration gradient [2,3], or tissues poorly perfused as a result ...
متن کاملBlood Urea Nitrogen
Loop diuretics are used in patients with heart failure (HF) to relieve symptoms of systemic and pulmonary venous congestion. Despite their nearly universal use for this indication, loop diuretics have not been shown to improve survival—indeed, a number of recent studies suggest an adverse relationship between the use of loop diuretics and survival (1–3). This is plausible because loop diuretics...
متن کاملElevated levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in the last trimester of pregnancy of dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)
Background: The knowledge of blood parameters is important for assessing the physiological status and health of animals. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to determine the effect of heavy pregnancy on some serum indices of dromedary camels. METHODS: Twenty clinically healthy female dromedary camels aged between 4-5 years were divided into two equal groups: I: pregnant camels in their last tr...
متن کاملPlasma Lactate Dehydrogenase Levels Predict Mortality in Acute Aortic Syndromes
In acute aortic syndromes (AAS), organ malperfusion represents a key event impacting both on diagnosis and outcome. Increased levels of plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a biomarker of malperfusion, have been reported in AAS, but the performance of LDH for the diagnosis of AAS and the relation of LDH with outcome in AAS have not been evaluated so far.This was a bi-centric prospective diagnost...
