Impedance Ratio Method for Urine Conductivity-Invariant Estimation of Bladder Volume

Recursive estimation method for predicting residual bladder urine volumes to improve accuracy of timed urine collections.

Clinical research studies often collect data via repeated measurements of collected urine. Unfortunately, the accuracy of timed urine collections is limited by the presence of a residual volume of urine remaining in the bladder following each timed void due to incomplete emptying of the bladder. This residual urine volume adds significant imprecision to the urine collection method, rendering an...

Comparison of spot urine protein creatinine ratio with 24 hour urine protein for estimation of proteinuria.

The objective of our study was to evaluate and standardise the method of spot (random) urine protein creatinine ratio (UP/C) for estimation of proteinuria. The study contained 241 study participants in a tertiary care hospital inclusive of 208 cases and 33 normal volunteers. The 24 hour urine protein estimation was done on 24 hour urine samples and UP/C ratio was calculated on random urine samp...

Estimation of segmental muscle volume by bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy.

This study validated bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) with Cole-Cole modeled measurements of calf and arm segmental water volume and volume changes during 72 h of simulated microgravity and caloric restriction by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) muscle volume as a criterion method. MRI and BIS measurements of calf and upper arm segments were made in 18 healthy men and women [age...
