Resistin and GFR [PDF]

Kidney International, 2006
To the Editor: Recently, Axelsson et al.1 showed that glomerular filtration rate was consistently associated with serum resistin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease. It was found that the significant relationship between plasma resistin levels and insulin resistance was lost after adjustment for glomerular filtration rate, leading to the ...

Quantum decoupling transition in a one-dimensional Feshbach-resonant superfluid [PDF]

, 2005
We study a one-dimensional gas of fermionic atoms interacting via an s-wave molecular Feshbach resonance. At low energies the system is characterized by two Josephson-coupled Luttinger liquids, corresponding to paired atomic and molecular superfluids. We

Evaluation of renal perfusion in hyperthyroid cats before and after radioiodine treatment [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in elderly cats. Consequently, both diseases often occur concurrently. Furthermore, renal function is affected by thyroid status. Because changes in renal perfusion play an important

Measured GFR Does Not Outperform Estimated GFR in Predicting CKD-related Complications [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2011
Although many assume that measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using a marker such as iothalamate (iGFR) is superior to equation-estimated GFR (eGFR), each of these methods has distinct disadvantages. Because physicians often use renal function to guide the screening for various CKD-associated complications, one method to compare the ...
