Patients were divided into tertiles according to their serum creatininelevel.
2
Among hypertensive individuals with an elevated serum creatininelevel, 75% received treatment.
3
The serum creatininelevel decreased or remained stable in all.
4
The serum creatininelevel appeared to be correlated with dilatation of the renal pelvis.
5
Serum creatininelevel was monitored twice weekly and as indicated, and protocol biopsies were performed.
6
Kidney dysfunctions were observed in PO-challenged mice as evidenced by an increase in serum creatininelevel.
7
Decline of kidney function was defined as a 25% increase of creatininelevel after delivery.
8
Despite the use of antibiotics, the patient's symptoms continued and worsened and the serum creatininelevel was increased.
9
An average person had a creatininelevel between 0.1 and 1.1.
10
Outcomes included all-cause mortality and a composite renal outcome of kidney failure or doubling of serum creatininelevel.
11
Renal outcomes were defined by doubling of serum creatininelevel or progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
12
Similar patterns were seen for each dose-reduction criterion and across the spectrum of age, body weight, creatininelevel, and creatinine clearance.
13
Complications were also evaluated, but no difference was found (the only exception being the creatininelevel in the 5th year).
14
An equation including serum cystatin C level in combination with serum creatininelevel, age, sex, and race provides the most accurate estimates.
15
Conclusion: Elevated serum creatininelevel, an indicator of chronic renal disease, is common and strongly related to inadequate treatment of high blood pressure.
16
All the evaluated patients had normal renal function with a creatininelevel less than 1.4 mg%.
