Kidney function and risk triage in adults: threshold values and hierarchical importance.
In this study, we attempted to identify threshold values for kidney function measures that maximally discriminate short-term mortality, to identify major population segments in which these thresholds apply, and to classify the hierarchical rank of the thresholds when other classic risk factors are also considered. To do this we retrospectively identified estimated glomerular filtration rate (eG...
متن کاملCystatin C, mortality risk and clinical triage in US adults: threshold values and hierarchical importance.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that cystatin C may be a superior measure of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) than creatinine-based methods. We aimed to assess the utility of cystatin C for clinical triage in community-based settings. METHODS We identified cystatin C thresholds that maximize sensitivity and specificity (Max(Sn + Sp)) for predicting death and subsequently applied c...
متن کاملcompactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
15 صفحه اولEstimation of Reference Values of Biochemical Parameters Exploring the Renal Function in Adults in Ngaoundere, Cameroon
Clinical examinations are accompanied by biological analyzes to guide or confirm the clinical diagnosis. The results of these analyzes are interpreted by comparison with reference values. Studies on the biological norms of Africans are rare if not quasi-nonexistent. The aim of this study was to establish population-specific reference values for biochemical indices serving as renal function biom...
متن کاملPredictive Values of Urinary Interleukin 18 and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin for Delayed Graft Function Diagnosis in Kidney Transplantation
Background: Delayed graft function is a main complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation that adversely affects graft outcome. Difficulties in prediction and early detection of delayed graft function have hindered the ability to perform proper therapeutic interventions. We investigated whether measuring urinary interleukin 18 and neutrophi...
