Noninvasive Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis: Development and Evaluation of Two Urine-Based Immunoassays for Detection of Leishmania donovani Infection in India. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), a severe parasitic disease, could be fatal if diagnosis and treatment is delayed. Post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL), a skin related outcome, is a potential reservoir for the spread of VL.

Conversion of Urine Protein–Creatinine Ratio or Urine Dipstick Protein to Urine Albumin–Creatinine Ratio for Use in Chronic Kidney Disease Screening and Prognosis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Although measuring albuminuria is the preferred method for defining and staging chronic kidney disease (CKD), total urine protein or dipstick protein is often measured instead.

Albuminuria Predicts a Rapid Decline in Kidney Function in 2 International, Longitudinal Cohorts of Adults With Sickle Cell Anemia

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and a major contributor to increased morbidity and early mortality in people with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (uACR) is recommended to identify patients with SCA‐related CKD but its utility in predicting long‐term kidney dysfunction remains unclear in this patient ...

Using non‐linear slide decks to administer individualized problem‐based learning assessments within pharmacology education

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Problem‐based learning (PBL) is an established approach in medical, nursing, pharmacy and veterinary medicine education. This study describes the implementation and aims to evaluate the use of non‐linear slide decks as a method to deliver PBL as individualized student assessments within pharmacology education. This approach, originally developed in

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 ...

Comparison of urine dipstick and albumin:creatinine ratio for chronic kidney disease screening: A population-based study.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is usually diagnosed using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or kidney damage markers. The urine dipstick test is a widely used screening tool for albuminuria, a CKD marker. Although the urine albumin:creatinine

Urine testing to differentiate glomerular from tubulointerstitial diseases on kidney biopsy

Practical Laboratory Medicine, 2022
Background: Differentiating between glomerular and tubulointerstitial diseases can guide selection of appropriate patients for kidney biopsy. The aim of this study is to identify urine tests that can differentiate between these histological diagnoses ...

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.
