Specific aims of this study : 1. To examine the influences of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage on the serological or urinary level of novel renal biomarkers in patients with cirrhosis. 2. To investigate the ability of novel biomarkers to predict the development of acute kidney injury and the

Gout is the most prevalent inflammatory rheumatological disease among young men, affecting about 4% of the general population. Caused by the deposit of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals which form because of high urate concentrations in serum. Currently, there is no universal definition for
