In fact, the choice of the formula used to assess renal function is not a secondary point, especially when such assessment is used to make long-term evaluations of different diseases [ 27].
Difficulties involved in carrying out the inulin clearance procedure, however, render creatinine clearance the more practical clinical measurement with which to assess renal function.
PURPOSE: Neither serum creatinine concentration nor creatinine clearance assess renal function accurately.
Serum concentrations of uric acid, urea, creatinine, electrolytes, total protein, albumin, acid-base balance and blood cell count were examined to assess renal function.
Follow-up scintigraphies to assess renal function were carried out at days 9, 23, 44, and 65.
Follow-up renal scintigraphies to assess renal function were carried out in all mice at days 9, 23, 44, 65, and 86.
Any extravascular component in the cardiac curve has been neglected as it is thought likely to be small within the first 2 min. Data were exported to Microsoft Excel to assess renal function.
Assay platforms such as MULTI-ARRAY (Meso Scale Discovery), Bio-Plex (Bio-Rad Labeentories), happliedn applied for Cytokine detection, while regarding the renal injury a panel of 7 Biomarkers based on Antibody assays has been proposed as biomarkers with improved potential to assess renal function [106].
In order to assess renal function, urine was collected by placing animals in metabolic cages for 12 hours, during which time water was supplied without restriction.
