Abstract Chronic renal failure is one of the leading causes death in African lions, cheetahs, and tigers. Conventional methods to measure dysfunction include measuring serum creatinine blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) measurement a reliable predictor domestic cat because SDMA levels increase early when kidneys are damaged. Serum were assessed correlated with as well ...

Large size, protein binding and intracellular sequestration are well known to limit dialytic removal of compounds. In studying the normal renal and dialytic handling of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), a molecule associated with cardiovascular disease in the general population, we discovered two largely unrecognized additional limitations to sustained reduction of a solute by chronic hemodialysis. ...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy shows great promise for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients. Research has been carried out on this topic in recent years. The main goals of paper are to evaluate the therapeutic effects MSCs DKD through a meta-analysis and address mechanism systematic review literature. Method An electronic search Embase, Cochrane Library, ISI Web Scien...

Fumaria officinalis is one of the herbal medicines used in Iran extensively. There are many useful properties recognized for this plant, but there is no information about its side effects especially in long term and at high doses. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of F. officinalis hydroalcoholic extract on the Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine conce...

BACKGROUND Pneumoperitoneum with an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 14 mmHg is known to decrease renal function. Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) requires an IAP of more than 15 mmHg for operation. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated whether patients who underwent RARP experienced renal insufficiency during the postoperative period (at postoperative days 7 and 30). METHO...

Measurement of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are used as indicators of glomerular filtration rate. The increased levels of these biomarkers are usually detectable at advanced stages of kidney complications. The aim of this study was to find the interrelationship of beta-2 microglobulin (β2M), BUN and Cr in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus in rabbits. Diabetes...

The objective of this study was to determine the comparative changes in the monthly blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration, total protein (TP) concentration in blood serum and the body condition score of Nguni cows and heifers raised on sweetveld. Twenty-four clinically healthy animals in different parities, namely Parity 1 (n = 5), Parity 2 (n = 5), Parity 3-6 (n = 9) and heifers (n = 5), wer...

DESIGN The aim of this study was to determine the association between aging and adiponectin level from the aspect of the influence of renal function and sex hormones in humans. METHODS Serum adiponectin and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured in 964 subjects (372 males) aged 60.3+/-12.5 years. Testosterone and free testosterone levels were measured in 123 males, and estrone and est...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Early prediction of disease severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) would be helpful for triaging patients to the appropriate level of care and intervention. The aim of the study was to develop a model able to predict Severe Acute Pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS A total of 647 patients with AP were enrolled. The demographic data, hematocrit, High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (H...

seventy six high and low producer cows were selected to determine the composition of theblood and milk parameters, and their interrelationships to determine the indices which could beuseful to improve the milk yield. the highest mean blood concentrations were found in highproducer cows. mean values for blood urea nitrogen (bun), serum protein (sptn), creatinine,triglycerides (tgs), cholesterol,...
