Elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 levels at baseline are linked to a 29% increased risk for diabetic kidney disease, a recent observational study found.

A key focus in advancing early diagnosis is the use of biomarkers, particularly the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UAC). This ratio has emerged as a valuable tool not only for diagnosing CKD in ...

If urine is allowed to stand, a greater number of leukocytes will lyse leading to a more intense reaction. High levels of glucose, albumin, ascorbic acid, tetracycline or cephalexin, or large ...

Those with greater weight fluctuations also were more likely to exhibit moderately and severely increased albuminuria, a condition in which the protein albumin is abnormally present in the urine ...

Adults receiving tirzepatide in the SURPASS trials had significant decreases in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Those with CKD receiving tirzepatide had larger urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ...

A few bubbles in your pee is normal, but foamy urine could require a trip to the doctor for a diagnosis and prescription.

The strips are also convenient for testing random urine samples, eliminating the need to collect a timed sample. The CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 Reagent Strips are CLIA-waived for use on the CLINITEK ...

Adults with type 2 diabetes receiving tirzepatide had significantly greater declines in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio than those receiving comparators such as placebo or another therapy ...

examined the association between statin use in older adults and changes in two important indicators of kidney function -- estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine albumin-to-creatinine ...

A study showed that urine alkalization therapy reduces gout flares, improves kidney health, and enhances lipid profiles in ...

The researchers assessed the link between statin use in older adults and changes in two kidney function indicators: estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine albumin-to-creatinine (protein-to ...

The groups were weighted according to age, sex, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c level, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], urine albumin-creatinine ratio, HDL, LDL and triglyceride ...
