(I )The sensitivity of IGFOP-3 for cGHD(true positive) and the sgeclflclty of IGFOP-3 for NS (true negative) were almost 9 %. The sensitivity of pGHD with low lGF-1 was 67%, whereas that of pGHD with normal IGF-1 was 20%. Thus, IGFBP- 3 may reflect GH secret ion status ...
However, these results cannot necessarily be applied to patients with impaired kidney function; larger studies are warranted to clarify the need for introducing different preparations for such patients and define specific GFR cutoffs. As mentioned, for the questionnaire study, patient preparation prior ...

This is called creatinine clearance and estimates the filtration rate by kidneys (glomerular filtration rate, or GFR). The creatinine clearance can be measured in two ways: It can be calculated (estimated) by a formula using serum (blood) creatinine level, patient's weight, and age. The ...
We hypothesized that by indicating cellular energy balance, which is related to mitochondrial function, GDF-15 levels are positively associated with atherosclerosis as evaluated by CIMT among older individuals with normal weight and normal thyroid hormone levels whose systemic energy balance might be ...
As previously mentioned, cys C levels were not found to be decreased in term pregnancy, though GFR of low molecular mass substances is known to increase by at least 40% during pregnancy in general [44]. This is in line with a known decrease in GFR even in normal and healthy term ...
