Glomerular filtration rate determination by creatinine and cystatin-C in patients with acute pyelonephritis
Background: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and monitoring of it in any patient on nephrotoxic drugs is very important. Recently, cystatin C (cys-C) has been introduced as a better marker for determining and monitoring renal function than creatinine especially in a mild decrease of GFR. This study was done to assess the change of GFR measurement based on serum Cys-C and creatini...
متن کاملDetection of decreased glomerular filtration rate in intensive care units: serum cystatin C versus serum creatinine
BACKGROUND Detecting impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in intensive care units (ICU) in order to diagnose acute kidney injuries and adjust the dose of renally excreted drugs. Whether serum Cystatin C (SCysC) may better reflect glomerular filtration rate than serum creatinine (SCr) in the context of intensive care medicine is uncertain. METHODS We compared the performance ...
متن کاملTransient Tachypnea of the Newborn
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a disease common in infants throughout the world and has been encountered by all physicians who care for newborn infants. Infants with TNN present within the first few hours of birth with tachypnea, increased oxygen requirement, and occasional hypoxia noted on arterial blood gases without concomitant carbon dioxide retention. When managing an infant w...
متن کاملTransient tachypnea of the newborn.
product/device. Introduction The birth of a child is preceded by several changes to prepare for the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life. The five major events that establish the lungs as the organ of gas exchange at birth include: clearance of fetal lung fluid, establishment of spontaneous breathing, decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance, release of surfactant, and cessation o...
متن کاملSERUM CYSTATIN C AS A NEW MARKER OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE (GFR)
Cystatin C is a 13 KD basic protein that is a member of the cystatin superfamily of cysteine protease inhibitors. The cystatin C gene seems to be a house keeping gene, which is compatible with a stable production rate of cystatin C by most cells. This protein is freely filtered through the glomerulus and almost completely reabsorbed and catabolized by proximal tubular cells. Because of the...
