Design of molecularly imprinted polymers for sensors and solid phase extraction [PDF]
This thesis presents broadly the applications of molecularly imprinted polymers in sensors and solid phase extraction. Sensors for creatine and creatinine have been reported using a novel method of rational design of molecularly imprinted polymers ...

Predicting urinary creatinine excretion and its usefulness to identify incomplete 24h urine collections [PDF]
Studies using 24 h urine collections need to incorporate ways to validate the completeness of the urine samples. Models to predict urinary creatinine excretion (UCE) have been developed for this purpose; however, information on their usefulness to ...

Estimated glomerular filtration rate correlates poorly with four-hour creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. [PDF]
Introduction. RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool. A more accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is

Electrooxidation of Urea and Creatinine on Nickel Foam-based Electrocatalysts [PDF]
This work describes the electrocatalytic behavior of urea and creatinine on catalysts of nickel foam (NF), nickel hydroxy foam (NHF), and iron-doped nickel hydroxy foam (Fe-NHF) at room temperature in alkaline electrolyte at pH 14. This work is relevant

The eGFR-C study: accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation using creatinine and cystatin C and albuminuria for monitoring disease progression in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease - prospective longitudinal study in a multiethnic population [PDF]
Background: Uncertainty exists regarding the optimal method to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for disease detection and monitoring. Widely used GFR estimates have not been validated in British ethnic minority populations.

N-acetylcysteine in the prevention of radiocontrast-induced nephropathy: clinical trials and end points [PDF]
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been suggested to prevent radiocontrast-induced nephropathy (RCIN) in patients with a reduced renal function. However, clinical studies have not been demonstrating this effect consistently.

Estimation of reference intervals from small samples: an example using canine plasma creatinine [PDF]
Background: According to international recommendations, reference intervals should be determined from at least 120 reference individuals, which often are impossible to achieve in veterinary clinical pathology, especially for wild animals.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and blood pressure in a sample of obese Egyptian adolescents
Background/aim Obesity is a major risk factor for some comorbid conditions. Our goal was to study the relationship between obesity and kidney function in adolescents using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as well as to study blood pressure (BP)
