American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1986
Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best measure of the functional state of the kidneys. Plasma creatinine concentration (PCr) is lower in healthy children than in adults' ; elevation of PCr to a given level implies more serious renal impairment in children than in adults .

Assessment of Thyroid Function
Ophthalmology, 1981The thyroid hormones Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3) can be measured directly in serum by radioimmunoassay. Most serum T4 and T3 circulates bound to specific serum-binding proteins but the small unbound fraction, free T4, correlates best with hormonal activity.

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2007
This is a review on the techniques for assessing liver function in critically ill patients.Actually, there is no ideal real-time and bedside technique for assessing liver function in critically ill patients. Though not allowing to differentiate between liver blood flow and cell function, dynamic tests, that is indocyanine green plasma disappearance ...

Assessment of Olfactory Function
2006Numerous techniques are available for the investigation of chemosensory functions in humans. They include psychophysical measures of chemosensory function, e.g. odor identification, odor discrimination, odor thresholds, odor memory, and retronasal perception of odors.

Assessment of Adrenocortical Function
Postgraduate Medicine, 1963The authors discuss the clinical features of chronic adrenocortical disorders (except those due to aldosterone alterations) and indicate the laboratory tests that should be carried out to assess adrenocortical function. They also present an outline of these laboratory procedures, including the results, relative value and special significance of the ...

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2007
This article discusses the traditional and more recent echocardiographic measures that have been employed to evaluate atrial function. Conventional parameters commonly used and reported in the literature include the study of the various phases of atrial activity using atrial volume measurements, the peak A wave velocity, its velocity time integral (VTI)

Perioperative Functional Assessment
British Journal of Hospital MedicinePerioperative functional assessment is used to inform perioperative risk estimation and to target interventions such as prehabilitation, particularly in higher-risk cohorts. There are a variety of measures used and practice is variable. UK national guidance recommends cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) or alternative objective measures when ...

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1991
Methodology of functional status assessment for musculoskeletal disorders has developed considerably in recent years. Reliability and sensitivity of measurements of physical functions are studied more systematically, and observer tests of activities of daily living functions have been developed with increased accuracy. A major area of interest, however,

ASSESSMENT OF DIAPHRAGM FUNCTION
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1998Assessment of diaphragm function begins with the physical examination, but neither the physical examination nor radiography is sensitive enough to detect subtle abnormalities of diaphragm function. Maximal static transdiaphragmatic pressure and maximal static inspiratory mouth pressure have been widely used as measures of diaphragm and inspiratory ...
