creatinine/obesity

BACKGROUND Microalbuminuria was much more common among obese individuals indicating a probable association with obesity. However, association of microalbuminuria with interaction between obesity and central obesity has not yet been studied. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in a 2889

OBJECTIVE Obesity is a potential risk factor for renal disease in non-diabetic subjects. It remains unclear whether this also applies to diabetic patients. We investigated whether obesity predicted changes in albumin excretion rate in individuals with type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Fifty Italian diabetes

OBJECTIVE Albuminuria, a chronic kidney and/or cardiovascular disease biomarker, is currently measured as albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). We hypothesize that in severely obese individuals ACR might be abnormally low in spite of relatively high levels of urinary albumin due to increased

OBJECTIVE To determine whether glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is best estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula or the formula used in the 'Modification ofdiet in renal disease' (MDRD) study. METHODS Descriptive inventory. METHODS Passing-Bablok regression analysis was performed using the

The Cockcroft-Gault and Salazar-Corcoran equations were compared with respect to prediction of gentamicin pharmacokinetic values in obese and nonobese patients, and the results were used to formulate guidelines for calculating initial gentamicin dosages in obese patients. Creatinine clearance (CLcr)

BACKGROUND The prevalence of childhood obesity has significantly increased in Korea. This study aimed to use data from the 2010 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to investigate the association between sodium (Na) intake and insulin resistance in children and

Obesity is a recognized worldwide epidemic with increasing prevalence in developing nations. Studies have shown that obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) besides its link with diabetes mellitus and hypertension. We evaluated the renal status of

Cystatin C is considered an alternative to creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, studies have reported that increased adiposity is associated with a higher level of circulating cystatin C questioning the performance of estimation of GFR using cystatin C in obese

Six (5 f, 1 m) massively obese, otherwise healthy subjects, were submitted for 4 weeks to a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD): 80 kcal, 335 kJ = 2.6 g N/day (17 g protein, 0 CHO and fat). Daily urinary creatinine excretion (UCE) and weekly nitrogen loss (NL) were determined during the whole period of

Hyperglucagonemia accompanies several disorders such as acute pancreatitis and diabetic ketoacidosis characterized by increased amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (ACCR). We tested the hypothesis that glucagon may be responsible for the augmental ACCR among diabetic and/or obese subjects. A constant

BACKGROUND Levofloxacin is a commonly prescribed antimicrobial where recommendations exist to reduce doses for renal impairment but not to increase doses for augmented renal function. Morbidly obese patients are increasing in prevalence, and represent a population that can have augmented renal

This study assessed the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and metabolic syndrome score (MSS) and the levels of urine microalbumin-urine creatinine ratio (uACR) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in Korean adults with obesity. Analyses of data obtained during the 2012 Korean National

Aim: A lower ratio of creatinine to body weight (Cr/BW) is considered the independent risk factor for incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the relationship between the Cr/BW ratio and NAFLD among individuals without obesity and dyslipidemia

Obesity is increasing in developed as well as in developing countries. This analytical cross sectional study was carried out to document the relation between blood pressure, serum creatinine and body mass index in female and to assess potential health differences among obese female and normal weight

This study was designed to analyze the relationship between serum creatinine and body mass index in children in Xinjiang, China. We used a stratified sampling method to select 5222 children aged 6-17 years in 3 areas in Xinjiang and then measured serum creatinine with an enzymatic method. Our
