Albuminuria as a diagnostic criterion and a therapeutic target in heart failure and other cardiovascular disease

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The value of uACR. CKD, chronic kidney disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; uACR, urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio. Abstract The high disease burden and bidirectional relationship of chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) necessitate the need for early ...

Impact of rural versus urban setting on kidney markers: a cross-sectional study in South-Kivu, DRCongo

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background Most studies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have been conducted in urban settings. They relied on GFR estimated from serum creatinine alone and on the inexpensive, convenient urinary dipstick to assess proteinuria.

Diagnostic accuracy of a urine dipstick for detecting albuminuria in hypertensive patients [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2021
Background: Screening for albuminuria is generally recommended among patients with hypertension. While the urine dipstick is commonly used for screening urine albumin, there is little evidence about its diagnostic accuracy among these patients in ...

Modelling of non-steady-state concentration profiles at ISFET-based coulometric sensor—actuator systems [PDF]

, 1990
Acid or base concentrations can be determined very rapidly by performing an acid—base titration with coulometrically generated OH− or H+ ions at a noble metal actuator electrode in close proximity to the pH-sensitive gate of an ion-sensitive field effect

Urinary markers in heart failure – types, timing and thresholds. European Journal of Heart Failure expert consensus document

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Pathophysiologic mechanisms of heart failure (HF) (i.e. renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system [RAAS], congestion, and inflammation), together with patient‐related factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), contribute to kidney function decline and glomerular or tubular injury.

Urea Biosensor Based on a Field‐Effect Capacitor Modified With a Stacked Weak Polyelectrolyte/Enzyme Bilayer

Electrochemical Science Advances, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urea is formed from the metabolism of proteins and used as a biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions. In this work, a urea biosensor based on an electrolyte‐insulator‐semiconductor capacitor (EISCAP) modified with a stacked polyelectrolyte polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH)/urease bilayer prepared by the layer‐by ...

The use of K39 test in the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2007
From time to time patients admitted with fever of unknown origin prove to be a diagnostic dilemma. While textbooks describe typical symptoms and signs, and also diagnostic tests, these are not always helpful.

Dyclonine rescues frataxin deficiency in animal models and buccal cells of patients with Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]

, 2014
Inherited deficiency in the mitochondrial protein frataxin (FXN) causes the rare disease Friedreich's ataxia (FA), for which there is no successful treatment. We identified a redox deficiency in FA cells and used this to model the disease.

Fasting plasma glucose performs better than glycated hemoglobin and glycated albumin for diagnosing gestational diabetes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Universal screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has been recommended. In resource‐poor environments, OGTTs are only administered to high‐risk cases. In countries such as South Africa, where female obesity is common, this translates into high numbers of tests.

The assessment of 24 24-h urine volume by measurement of urine specific gravity with dipstick in adults with nephrolithiasis

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2012
Background: Nephrolithiasis is a recurrent disease, and one of the most effective methods for prevention of stone recurrence is increasing the urine output (>2 L/day), but it is difficult to achieve it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of
