Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Uremia is a clinical condition associated with worsening renal function. It is characterized by fluid, electrolyte, hormonal, and metabolic abnormalities. Uremia most commonly occurs in the setting of chronic and end-stage renal disease, but may also occur as a result of acute kidney injury. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of uremia and highlights

What is normal creatinine clearance in elderly?/Creatinine clearance (CrCl) is the volume of blood plasma cleared of creatinine per unit time. It is a rapid and cost-effective method for the measurement of renal function. Both CrCl and GFR can be measured using the comparative values of creatinine in blood and urine. The measurement of accurate renal

Both CrCl and GFR can be measured using the comparative values of creatinine in blood and urine. The measurement of accurate renal function is vital for the routine

How long does it take to recover from acute kidney injury?/Acute kidney injury (AKI) is where your kidneys suddenly stop working properly. It can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure. AKI normally happens as a complication of another serious illness. Acute kidney injury, previously known as acute renal failure, denotes a

What are the stages of acute kidney injury?/Acute kidney injury (AKI) is where your kidneys suddenly stop working properly. It can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure. AKI normally happens as a complication of another serious illness. Acute kidney injury, previously known as acute renal failure, denotes a sudden and often

What is the most common cause of acute kidney injury?/Acute kidney injury (AKI) is where your kidneys suddenly stop working properly. It can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure. AKI normally happens as a complication of another serious illness.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is where your kidneys suddenly stop working properly. It can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure. AKI normally happens as a complication of another serious illness. Acute kidney injury, previously known as acute renal failure, denotes a sudden and often reversible reduction in kidney function, as measured
