Using the Uβ2-MG as an indicator of renal dysfunction, the estimated BMDL values of UCd were between 1.10 μg/g cr and 2.11 μg/g cr in males from all provinces except the Guizhou province.
In ROC analysis ADMA emerged as the most powerful indicator of organ dysfunction, followed by the SOFA score, whereby both parameters yielded almost identical AUCs.
Nystagmus assessment is an important topic because nystagmus is the hallmark indicator of vestibular dysfunction and thus can be the crucial element in making a diagnosis[ 13, 14].
DCE-MRI has previously been shown to be an effective indicator of BTB dysfunction in the rat and cat [22], [25].
If a serum IL-6 value >230 picograms/ml is confirmed in future studies as an early indicator of muscle dysfunction, then the efficacy of prevention and treatment strategies may be measured rapidly and inexpensively by IL-6.
Muscle pain is an indicator of the extent of the dysfunction and the pathological changes in the masticatory system [ 16].
The demonstration that this compensatory mechanism occurs spontaneously in intact cells indicates that ΔΨm fluctuations are not an indicator of mitochondrial dysfunction as concomitant pHmito flashes preserve the proton-motive force, thus maintaining the ability of mitochondria to convert energy.
Recently, the close relationship between cystatin C and all-cause cardiovascular mortality has been illustrated in subjects with normal eGFR [ 30], which further confirmed that cystatin C may not simply be regarded as an indicator of the association between renal dysfunction and an increased risk of CAD, the information contained by cystatin C represents more than just a marker of renal function.
Specifically, serum creatinine levels were shown to represent a valid indicator of renal dysfunction only during the early post-ischemic period of 24 to 72 h [3].
Lidocaine metabolite MEGX has proven to be a highly sensitive indicator of hepatic dysfunction, especially in the field of liver transplantation.
