Prevalence and correlates of elevated serum creatinine levels: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Elevated serum creatinine (SCr) levels are a predictor of end-stage renal disease, but little is known about the prevalence of elevated SCr levels and their correlates in the community. METHODS In this cross-sectional, community-based sample, SCr levels were measured in 6233 adults (mean age, 54 years; 54% women) who composed the "broad sample" of this investigation. A subset, cons...
متن کاملElevated levels of serum creatinine: recommendations for management and referral.
BACKGROUND The potential benefits of earlier referral to a nephrologist of patients with elevated levels of serum creatinine include identifying and treating reversible causes of renal failure, slowing the rate of decline associated with progressive renal insufficiency, managing the coexisting conditions associated with chronic renal failure and facilitating efficient entry into dialysis progra...
متن کاملNatural history of elevated creatinine levels.
OBJECTIVE To investigate what happens to the serum creatinine (SC) levels of people with initial mild elevations in SC; whether a stable, non-progressive elevation in SC level is the most common scenario; how common a progressive increase in SC is among primary care patients; and how often primary care patients with substantial elevations in SC (>300 micromol/L) progress to end-stage renal dise...
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 کاملType of Fatty Acid Intake, Serum Lipid and Lipoprotein Levels in relation to Creatinine and GFR
Correlation between fatty acids intake, serum lipid and lipoproteins with serum creatinine and kidney function in patients with renal failure has been suggested by other investigators. This relationship has not been reported for all types of fatty acids. This study was conducted to determine the association of the consumption of different type of fatty acids, serum lipids and lipoproteins with ...
