BACKGROUND
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a risk factor for kidney scarring, hypertension and declining renal function. Standard diagnostic methods are invasive and can cause exposure to radiation and urinary tract infections (UTIs). We aimed to investigate urine albumin and interleukin-8 levels as
BACKGROUND
Diabetes is considered a risk factor for acquisition of febrile urinary tract infection (f-UTI), but information on the association of diabetes with subsequent course of the disease is lacking. Thus, we investigated the clinical variables including diabetic status which determined the
The potential of chlorhexidine dihydrochloride (CH HCl) incorporated into human albumin microspheres to provide sustained activity in vitro against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa from quality controls and from cultures of organisms that cause urinary tract
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether asymptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) significantly influences the level of albumin excretion rate (AER) in diabetic patients.
METHODS
We screened prospectively for UTI and AER in 765 type 2 diabetic subjects. AER was determined before and
In the study 27 children after urinary tract infection (UTI) and 28 healthy children were examined. Vesico-uretic reflux in 10 patients, and in 17 normal urinary excretion were diagnosed. In 11 children the family history was documented. The 17 healthy controls were siblings of children with normal
Discrimination between urosepsis and febrile urinary tract infections is important in therapeutic decision-making to indicate suitable treatments to avoid sepsis-related organ failure. Accurate diagnosis is time-consuming and susceptible to false-positive results. Moreover, patient responses to
OBJECTIVE
To describe the profile of elderly patients with bacteremic urinary tract infections (UTI) and correlate clinical and laboratory findings with the outcome in order to identify independent predictors of mortality.
METHODS
This retrospective study took place in a large community-based,
An 80-year old woman presented with macroscopic hematuria on June 4(th), 2008. She had been suffering from general malaise and appetite loss since about 10 days previously. She had received anticoagulant therapy with warfarin due to chronic atrial fibrillation and PT-INR was well controlled between
BACKGROUND
Laboratory studies suggest that urinary uromodulin, the most common protein in the urine of healthy adults, may protect against urinary tract infection (UTI). Epidemiologic studies evaluating this relationship in humans are lacking.
METHODS
Prospective longitudinal cohort
A single observer reviewed 842 of the 917 known diabetic patients registered with 40 GPs in the Poole area. Fifty-nine per cent (493) of those reviewed submitted a timed overnight urine collection to measure albumin excretion rate (AER) and overnight albumin/creatinine ratio (ON-Alb/Creat); 43
OBJECTIVE
Microalbuminuria is defined as increased urinary albumin excretion (30-300 mg/day) or microalbumin/creatinine ratio (30-300 mg/g) in a spot urine sample. Although microalbuminuria is a predictor of clinical nephropathy and cardiomyopathy, few studies have investigated microalbuminuria in
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequent cause of bacteremia/sepsis in elderly people and increasing antimicrobial resistance in uropathogens has been observed. To describe the characteristics of bacteremic UTI in elderly patients and to identify the independent risk factors of all-cause
Sitafloxacin (STFX) is a new generation of broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolones. STFX has significantly enhanced antibacterial activity than most similar drugs. Clinically, this drug is mainly used to treat respiratory and urinary tract infections and other serious bacterial infections. In this
Nalidixic acid is a bacterial DNA gyrase inhibitor and the first member of the synthetic quinolone antibiotics. It is used in the treatment of various infectious diseases like urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, sexually transmitted diseases, acute bronchitis, and sinusitis.
