Clinical, pharmacokinetic, and genetic determinants of change in serum creatinine among Southern Africans on dolutegravir based antiretroviral therapy
Introduction: Dolutegravir increases serum creatinine by inhibiting renal secretion of creatinine, potentially resulting in inappropriate regimen switches. We investigated determinants of early changes in serum creatinine in a Southern African cohort starting dolutegravir-based antiretroviral …

The Effect of Withdrawal of Angiotensin II Blockers on Serum Creatinine and Potassium in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
… cause hyperkalemia and the elevation of serum creatinine which impede the continuation of the medications. So far, there have been no data which observe the changes of serum creatinine or serum potassium after withdrawal of the RAS blockers. In addition, no guidelines have been …

Microalbuminuria and serum creatinine in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending renal clinic at university teaching hospital in Lusaka,Zambia
… the association between Micro-albuminuria, Serum Creatinine and fasting blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients attending Renal Clinic at University Teaching Hospital (UTH).This was an unmatched case control study involving 90 participants from UTH Renal Clinic. The cases …

Ischemic Preconditioning and Hydrodynamic Delivery for the Prevention of Acute Kidney Injury
… from subsequent ischemic insults with attenuated serum creatinine values in treated rats. In the preconditioned kidneys, the enzyme IDH2 was discovered to be upregulated in the mitochondria. Hydrodynamic fluid delivery to the kidney was found to be a viable technique for delivering this gene to …

An analysis of the mechanisms of acute kidney injury and novel biomarkers
… through measurements of three clinical findings: serum creatinine concentration, blood urea nitrogen concentration, and urine output. While these measurements are still widely used as standard practice, they have limitations in their utility because their values can fluctuate depending on a …

Observing Renal Responses to Endurance Cycling in the Heat
… All measurements were taken pre- and post-event. Serum creatinine was measured by colorimetric assay and analyzed via the Jaffe reaction, and creatinine clearance was estimated. An ELISA kit was used to measure serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. RESULTS: A net fluid loss of 1.3 ± …

Combination Treatment of Angiotensin-II Receptor Blocker and Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme Inhibitor in Non-Diabetic Renal Disease on Effect of Reducing Proteinuria
… drugs prescribed. We evaluated the changes of serum creatinine, the amount of proteinuria, the development of hyperkalemia and hypotension in the subgroups. RESULTS: Dry cough was recorded in 10 patients of ACEI group and 4 patients of combination group. Orthostatic hypotension was recorded in …

Prevalence and incidence of renal dysfunction in patients initiating Antiretroviral Therapy at a Primary Health Care Centre in Gugulethu, Cape Town : a cohort study
… We also examined the diagnostic value of early serum creatinine tests in identifying incident renal dysfunction after 12 months.

Factors associated with mortality in adults admitted with heart failure at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka,Zambia
… Clinical data included vital signs, blood urea, serum sodium, serum potassium, serum creatinine, and haemoglobin level. Trans-thoracic echocardiographs and electrocardiographs were also done to determine LVEF and to check for the presence of arrhythmias. Patients were dichotomized into those with …

The effects of dietary creatine monohydrate supplementation and resistance training in older men
… these were taken before and after the protocol. Serum creatinine was tested in order to quantify creatine uptake. There were no significant changes in the amount of serum creatinine for either group, nor were there any significant changes in body composition. Significant differences were found to …

Effects of aminophylline therapy on urine output and renal function in children with acute kidney injury in an African setting
… the effect on urine output, improvements in serum creatinine levels or limitations of renal replacement therapy as well as any age-related differences in aminophylline effects. Methods Children admitted to the PICU of RCWMCH with AKI (from 2012 to June 2018) were identified through a search …

Changes of Glomerular Filtration Rate of Donated and Remnant Kidneys in A Week after Living Donor Kidney Transplantation
… pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) as well as serum creatinine (Scr, mg/dl) and 24-hour urine creatinine clearance (Ccr, ml/min/1.73m2) from 100 donors were measured before donation. The kidney function was also calculated using Cockcroft-Gault formula (Ccr-CG,ml/min/ 1.73m2). In donors and …

Raman Spectroscopic Modeling Of T- Lymphocyte Activation And Detection Of Acute Renal Allograft Rejection
… transplant centers have used elevations in serum creatinine as a screening tool for detecting AR. However, with its diagnostic delay, low sensitivity, and low specificity, serum creatinine has proven to be an unreliable and problematic bio-marker. Acute rejection is an activated T lymphocyte …
