They looked at markers of kidney function and health and used urine volume to determine how much fluid the subjects drank daily.
Urea and creatinine are commonly used as markers of kidney function.
In recent years, some novel markers of kidney injury have been identified.
Few studies have examined the association between obesity and markers of kidney injury in a chronic kidney disease population.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between self-reported sleep duration and markers of kidney function.
Interestingly, we found a clear association of serum BA retention and need of RRT as well as serum markers of kidney dysfunction.
Baseline levels of these plasma markers of kidney injury did not differ significantly between the wild-type and IL-17A−/− sham groups.
Circulating BAs correlated significantly with markers of kidney function like creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (p < 0.05), as shown in Additional file 1: Table S5.
Thus, selected serum metabolites were reproducibly associated with long-term mortality in CKD beyond markers of kidney function in two well characterized cohorts, providing targets for investigation.
Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and protein-creatinine ratio (PCR) are important markers of kidney damage and are used for prognosis in persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The nephroprotective potential of GA was assessed by quantifying the markers of kidney damage such as serum blood-urea-nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CR) and alkaline phosphatase (AP).
