Disease relevance of Kidney Function Tests

• Histological examinations of spleen and liver, kidney function tests (SGPT, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine and urea in blood plasma) showed that the toxicity of Bz2MT81 was reduced up to normal level when mannose grafted liposomal Bz2MT81 were administered [1].

High impact information on Kidney Function Tests

• Standard liver and kidney function tests, plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were measured before, at 48 hrs and at 7 days after total paracentesis [2].
• Simultaneous individual kidney function tests showed the following values expressed as the ratio of post-obstructed to normal kidney: inulin clearance 142 per cent, urine flow rate 475 per cent, sodium clearance 221 per cent and urinary excretion of prostaglandin E2 617 per cent [3].
• Therefore, weight-losing cancer patients (n = 60), with normal liver and kidney function tests, were randomized to receive one of four drug treatments for 5 days: (a) Propranolol 80 mg x 2 (beta-adrenoceptor blockade); (b) Indomethacin 50 mg x 2 (prostaglandin synthesis inhibition); (c) Morphine 5 mg x 3 (pain relief) or (d) Placebo x 2 [4].
• The data in this paper show that after 15 days of rubidium administration, there are no changes beyond the normal range in a variety of kidney function tests, including in four enzymes which are specific markers of tubule cell function [5].
• DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search was conducted (1966-September 2004) using the key terms creatine, creatinine, kidney function tests, drug toxicity, and exercise [6].

Associations of Kidney Function Tests with chemical compounds

• Reactivity of creatinine with alkaline 3,5-dinitrobenzoate: a new fluorescent kidney function test [7].
• No changes were recorded for blood glucose, growth hormone and kidney function tests [8].
• The kidney function tests, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and the renal clearance tests are discussed, with emphasis placed on correlating their results with the findings from repeated urinalyses [9].
• No significant changes were seen in the blood counts, liver or kidney function tests with tolfenamic acid [10].
• The analysis of data obtained indicates the kidney function tests improved in these patients and therapeutically safe blood cyclosporine levels were achieved in all the three timeschedules [11].

Gene context of Kidney Function Tests

• Each child was subjected to history taking, full clinical examination, urine analysis, kidney function tests and differential leucocytic count, examination of sera and urine by ELISA and microprecipitin tests for Toxocara antibodies [12].
