background: the ratio of urine protein to urine osmolality has recently been suggested as an accurate method to determine proteinuria.   objective: we studied the correlation of urine protein to urine osmolality ratio with 24-hr urinary protein excretion.   methods: 150 children aged 0.11–17 years admitted to the department of pediatric nephrology were included in this study. early morning urin...

conclusions cyclosporine and tacrolimus reduce proteinuria and serum creatinine after 6 months. nonetheless, tacrolimus reduces urea and cyclosporine increases it. however, since the prevalence of the side effects of both drugs is similar, tacrolimus has better results in the treatment of imn patients compared with cyclosporine. background immunosuppressive drugs have received the most attentio...

background: measuring the 24-hour urine protein ≥300 mg is the standard threshold value for diagnosis of preeclampsia. objective: this study was intended to determine if a patient’s 4-hour urine protein correlate with the 24-hour value for diagnosis of preeclampsia. materials and methods: this was a cross sectional study performed on 84 women with suspected preeclampsia due to positive urinary ...

objective: diabetic nephropathy is a major diabetes complication. arterial resistance index (ri) may predict deterioration in kidney function. this study was designed to compare renal arterial ri in different stages of renal function according to glomerular filtration rate (gfr), serum creatinine level and proteinuria. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study on 81 diabetic patients in...

OBJECTIVE: Level of serum homocysteine is remarkably common among patients with moderate to sever renal failure. We assessed whether serum homocysteine concentrations were correlated with proteinuria in overt diabetic nephropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 45 patients (29 males, 16 females) with overt proteinuria. All subjects had type 2 diabetes. Data i...

to evaluate the value of random urinary protein creatinine ratio in prediction of 24h proteinuria in hypertensive pregnancies. method: random urine samples and routine 24h urine collections were collected from hypertensive pregnant women (n=100). reliability of random urinary protein-creatinine ratio was assessed by receiver operator characteristic (roc) curve to detect significant proteinuria ...

Background: Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy, and it is vital to diagnosis the condition as early as possible. Proteinuria is an important symptom of preeclampsia, and repeated urine analysis to screen for the condition is part of the standard antenatal care. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between 4- and 24-hour urine total protein values to examin...
