Decline in measured glomerular filtration rate is associated with simple renal cyst in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 26-33, January 2024.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between simple renal cysts (SRC) and measured GFR (mGFR) in 3,552 diabetes patients in China. The isotope dynamic renal scintigraphy, which is able to reflect the function of both kidneys separately, was used for GFR measurement in this cross‐sectional study. Participants with SRC had significantly lower

Procalcitonin: A Key Marker in Children with Urinary Tract Infection

Advances in Urology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common source of bacterial infections among young febrile children. Accurate diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is important because of their association with renal scarring, leading in the cases to long‐term complications. However, the gold standard examinations for both
