Diagnostic and prognostic utility of phospholipase A activity in patients with acute pancreatitis: comparison with amylase and lipase

Abstract We compared the diagnostic and prognostic utility of phospholipase A (PLA; EC 3.1.1.4) for acute pancreatitis with that of amylase and lipase by analysis of sera from 1...

Using Standardized Serum Creatinine Values in the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate

The 4-variable MDRD Study equation provides reasonably accurate GFR estimates in patients with chronic kidney disease and a measured GFR of less than 90 mL/min per 1.73 m2. By u...
