Cardiac Catheterization and Kidney Function In many hospitals‚ the use of cardiac catheterization is used to determine if a patient has occluded arteries or grafts. This procedure saves many lives every day and helps prevent myocardial infarctions in many cases. The procedure itself is rather simple and safe for the most part‚ but one thing that many fail to realize is how hard the procedure is on kidney function due to the dye used intra-procedure. According to the NIH‚ kidney damage caused by

Recognising patients at high risk will allow actions to be taken to reduce incidence of renal injury and promote renal recovery as soon as possible.

If fluid depletion is high‚ and oral intake is low

clinically important because it is a measurement of renal function .A more complete estimation of renal function can be made when interpreting the blood (plasma) concentration of creatinine along with that of urea. BUN-to-creatinine ratio (the ratio of blood urea nitrogen to creatinine) can indicate other problems besides those intrinsic to the kidney; for example‚ a urea level raised out of proportion to the creatinine may indicate a pre-renal problem such as volume depletion. The typical human

serious clinical implications. Uric acid is a useful diagnostic tool as screening for most of purine metabolic disorders. The importance of uric acid measurement in plasma and urine with respect of metabolic disorders is highlighted. Not only gout and renal stones are indications to send blood to the laboratory for uric acid examination. Also familial nephritis‚ neurological abnormalities with mental retardation are reasons to know uric acid levels in blood and urine. Clinical significance In serum

Renal Calculi Kristan Michele Heil Our Lady of the Lake College Renal Calculi Renal calculi‚ commonly called kidney stones‚ are one of the most common‚ painful disorders of the urinary system. The condition of having kidney stones is referred to as nephrolithiasis. These stones are usually formed inside of the kidney and can be composed of various elements collected in the human body. Some stones may pass right through the urinary system never causing a problem‚ while others may cause

result in extensive renal vasoconstriction and a marked decrease in GFR. In the early stages of hepatic disease‚ systemic and renal hemodynamic variations are found while kidney function tests are normal. The dynamic monitoring of haemodynamic changes in the kidney are important for determining renal blood flow and predicting the development of HRS in patients with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension (Wang et al.‚ 2011).
