However, these biomarkers may be insufficient for the measurement of residual function of the kidney because they monitor damage but not severity of impairment of kidney function [48].
Even pretreatment with rhEPO did not influence I/R-induced acute kidney in swine with pre-existing impairment of kidney function and histological damage.
Even early post-treatment with the PPAR-β/δ agonist GW0742 did not beneficially influence acute kidney injury during long-term, resuscitated fecal peritonitis-induced septic shock in swine with pre-existing impairment of kidney function and histological damage.
Creatinine clearance is a better marker for changes in kidney function, although again with considerable delay because of the time lag between cellular kidney damage and loss of kidney function [12].

The results therefore appear to indicate that the use of amalgam fillings does not cause any clear, consistent damage to kidney function in young, developing children.
Our results suggest that acute administration of ATO after ARF can reduce renal damage and promote recovery of kidney function.
Routine anti-proteinuric treatment regimens are not always completely successful, and residual proteinuria might also cause irreversible tissue damage and, ultimately, loss of kidney function.
Multivariable logistic regression models were built to detect the independent predictors of AKI and any kind of kidney function damage.
Indeed, transfusion of pRBCs to treat anemia during cardiopulmonary bypass has been shown to be independently associated with increased urinary markers of intestinal damage, renal injury, and deterioration of kidney function compared with untreated anemic patients [ 33, 34].
Therefore, a new category of patients with "subclinical AKI" (that is, an increase in damage markers alone without simultaneous loss of kidney function) has been identified.
