Elevations in BUN and plasma creatinine were not significant until 24 months, however, elevations in the more sensitive markers of function, plasma cystatin C and proteinuria, were detectable at 16 and 18 months, respectively.
With the exception of plasma cystatin C, these biomarkers are not markers of function.
Prior studies have reported associations between plasma oxytocin and vasopressin and markers of social functioning.
ATG induced an increase in liver function tests but not in markers of renal function.
Including more recent markers of diastolic function might well have shown a stronger effect on physical function.
21 Therefore, markers of tubular function and/or damage might better predict diuretic response than markers of glomerular function.
Four markers of renal function at baseline were reported for all studies.
Urea and creatinine are commonly used as markers of kidney function.
We hypothesized that markers of endothelial function increase over pregnancy but decrease with smoking.
Ascorbic acid did not improve markers of endothelial function or attenuate the inflammatory response markers in this study.
