BACKGROUND The reference value of urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) has racial disparities. The ACR reference value in a healthy Beijing population is reported. METHODS A reference Beijing population was sampled via a multistage, clustered complex sampling method. By excluding subjects with

BACKGROUND Urinary tract inflammation and hemorrhage are believed to be common causes of proteinuria in dogs based on results of studies that measured total urine protein concentration. A method to quantify urine albumin (UAlb) concentration in dogs recently has become available; however, the effect

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic usefulness of semiquantitative and quantitative microalbuminuria assays and urine albumin-to-creatinine (UAC) ratio for detecting disease in cats. METHODS Prospective study. METHODS 441 cats evaluated at a veterinary teaching hospital. METHODS Urine samples from

Urinary markers for renal dysfunction are gaining interest, but effects of sampling method, storage conditions, and urinary tract inflammation or infection on these markers are unclear. Therefore, the objectives of the current study were to determine the difference in urinary albumin (uALB), urinary

OBJECTIVE To evaluate semiquantitative and quantitative assays for microalbuminuria and determination of the urine albumin-creatinine (UAC) ratio in detection of systemic disease in dogs without overt proteinuria. METHODS Prospective study. METHODS 408 dogs. METHODS Urine samples that had been

In a pilot project 2,122 schoolchildren were screened for symptomless urinary tract disease by the examination of midstream urine specimens. These were tested for albumin, blood, and glucose with Labstix commercial strips, together with microscopy for abnormal cellular excretion.One case of renal

The frequency of urinary infection was determined using quantitative microbiology in 172 insulin-dependent diabetic patients repeatedly being tested for microalbuminuria over 18 months on at least six occasions. The point prevalence of urinary infection at first screening for microalbuminuria was

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, associations, evaluation, and management of pyuria in patients admitted to the hospital with nonurinary infections. METHODS This study abstracted inpatient records of consecutive patients hospitalized for pneumonia,

OBJECTIVE Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis primarily affecting children who are <5 years old. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the standard therapy for KD. However, many patients with KD still show poor response to initial IVIG treatment. This study was conducted to investigate the

BACKGROUND There are several studies on renal manifestations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children from American and African regions, but similar studies from India are lacking. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 28 HIV infected antiretroviral therapy (ART) naïve children

BACKGROUND Inadequate diagnostic criteria in incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) patients may lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. However, the risk of coronary artery aneurysm in these patients remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic

A 67-year-old male with history of well controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension developed acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) with nephrotic-range proteinuria during treatment with cefazolin for methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and Group B Streptococcus (GBS) bacteremia. The

To distinguish between febrile infants with cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis who are finally diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and those with enterovirus meningitis poses a diagnostic challenge. We compared clinical and laboratory features at admission between two groups of infants, aged 30-90 days, to

The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for persistence of coronary artery abnormalities (CAAs) in Kawasaki disease and to compare the differences between complete (n=25) and incomplete (n=18) forms of the disease in relation to CAAs. The patients' demographic (age and sex), clinical

A 17-year old-male presented with a 6-week history of weight loss, lassitude and calf pains. On examination he was very pale. Laboratory tests showed a very high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (155 mm in the first hour), anaemia (haemoglobin 10.1 g/dl), and a raised serum creatinine of 1.54 mg/dl.
