The utility of liver function tests for mortality prediction within one year in primary care using the algorithm for liver function investigations (ALFI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although liver function tests (LFTs) are routinely measured in primary care, raised levels in patients with no obvious liver disease may trigger a range of subsequent expensive and unnecessary management plans.

Renal function change after radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma patients with a solitary kidney may be independent of urinary diversion type [PDF]
Purpose: To compare renal function change by urinary diversion (UD) type (ileal conduit [IC] vs. neobladder [NB]) in patients with a single kidney who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) due to bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the renal

PHENOLSULPHONEPHTHALEIN AND FUNCTIONAL TESTS OF THE KIDNEYS [PDF]
My experience with the use of phenolsulphonephthalein commenced very shortly after Rowntree and Geraghty1began their experiments with it. I base my belief in its efficacy on a large number of cases seen in Dr. H. H. Young's clinic at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and in my private work. I shall also consider here some of the other functional tests of the
