Acute kidney injury is defined as an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function, currently defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dl (≥26.4 μmol/l), a percentage increase in serum creatinine ≥50% (1.5-fold from baseline), or a reduction in urine output (documented oliguria < 0.5 ml/kg/hour for > 6 hours).
Stage 1 is defined as an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function currently defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl (≥ 26.4 μmol/l), a percentage increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 50% (1.5-fold from baseline), or a reduction in urine output (documented oliguria of less than 0.5 ml/kg per hour for more than six hours).
reduction in kidney function currently defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl, or1.5 fold from baseline or a reduction in urine output (documented oliguria of < 0.5 ml/kg per hr. for >6 hr).
Diagnostic criteria for AKI were an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function, currently defined as an absolute increase in serum CK level of ≥0.3 mg/dl, a percentage increase in serum CK level of ≥50% (1.5-fold greater than baseline) or a reduction in urine output (documented oliguria of <0.5 ml/kg/hour for more than 6 hours) [ 6].
A waning function, currently set at 0% as described in the literature [ 15], has been included in the model for this purpose.
Numerous subclinical markers of stroke, such as endothelial function, currently are being pursued by researchers (Suzuki et al. 2009).
Initially identified as small chemoattractant cytokines, which can stimulate the directed migration of neutrophils or monocytes, their known functions currently cover vast areas such as angiogenesis, embryonic development and cell homeostasis (Keeley et al, 2011; Raman et al, 2011) and their role in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases is undisputed.
This review describes the discovery of IFNλ3-linked SNPs that are associated with HCV control, summarises the biology and function of IFNλ3 as currently understood and describes the early studies that assess the role of this cytokine in the treatment of patients.
The Mamari calendar is the only example of rongorongo whose function is currently accepted as being understood, though it cannot actually be read.
Deranged parathyroid function is currently considered as the fundamental alteration responsible for bone disease in CKD [ 3].
