conclusions vancomycin nephrotoxicity is common but usually reversible and has readily manageable adverse effect. urine kim-1 was not more accurate than serum or urine creatinine in detecting vancomycin nephrotoxicity in our study population. results thirteen out of the 52 recruited patients (25%) developed nephrotoxicity, with a mean ± standard deviation onset of 11.46 ± 7.56 days. furosemide ...

leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, caused by leptospira interrogans and is considered as an emerging global public health problem. transmission usually results from direct or indirect exposure to the urine or other body fluids of leptospiruric animals which may become a source of infection for human or other animals. having a humid climate with plenty of annual rainfall, gui...

dairy farmers have been longing for simple and economical methods of early pregnancy diagnosis. urine based biochemical and mineral assays could be one of those methods, owing to the ease of sample collection and relatively simple and economical assays involved. however, basic information on changes in urinary composition during early pregnancy in cattle is lacking. this study was designed to e...

background and objective: this study was undertaken to assess the ability of standard urinalysis (ua) and hemocytometer white blood cell (wbc) counts for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (uti) in patients with urinary symptoms. materials and methods: a total of 600 patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection were enrolled in this prospective study. standard ua, hemocytometer wbc c...

conclusions it was demonstrated that, considerable percentage of uti existed in the gastroenteritis diseases. early treatment of uti in patients would reduce uti complications. objectives the current study aimed to investigate uti in patients with diarrhea. patients and methods this case-control study was conducted on 200 participants, 100 were patients with acute gastroenteritis and the other ...

Urine analysis is affected significantly by biological variability. The objective of this study was to study the feasibility of reducing the biological variability of excretion of various analytes in urine, especially albumin in children with diabetes, by mixing small volumes of early morning samples. Twenty-two male children with type 1 diabetes collected early morning aliquots of approximatel...

Urine is an extremely valuable sample type for biomarker discovery due to the non-invasive collection and the relatively low protein content, which makes detection of perturbations associated with disease easier. SELDI-TOF analysis is ideally suited for analysis of urine since the chromatographic capture mechanism can tolerate salt and urea in the urine sample that would otherwise need to be re...

BACKGROUND Automated analysis of insoluble urine components can reduce the workload of conventional microscopic examination of urine sediment and is possibly helpful for standardization. We compared the diagnostic performance of two automated urine sediment analyzers and combined dipstick/automated urine analysis with that of the traditional dipstick/microscopy algorithm. METHODS A total of 3...

Bioanalysis is a chemical analysis used to determine the levels of xenobiotic substances and biotic in biological systems. In pharmaceutical world, bioanalysis plays role development new drugs, monitoring drug therapy, also bioequivalence. The bioanalytic research that will be discussed this journal about dolutegravir urine, saliva (saliva), blood plasma samples. technique can detect content sa...
