Serum cystatin C in mouse models: a reliable and precise marker for renal function and superior to serum creatinine

1 answer:

4 0

In cases of acute renal failure, serum creatinine (SCR) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) incorrectly predict the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The possibility exists for serum cystatin C (CYS) to be a more accurate GFR marker. In order to examine the sensitivity of SCR, BUN, and CYS in identifying acute renal failure in mice, this study was conducted.

The conclusion of the study was that In mouse models, CYS can be utilized as an accurate and dependable marker for renal function. In comparison to SCR and BUN, CYS is more sensitive and detects kidney impairment early.

<h3>What is glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?</h3>

A blood test called a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measures how well your kidneys are functioning. Glomeruli are little filters found in your kidneys. These filters aid in clearing the blood of waste and extra fluid. How much blood flows through these filters each minute is determined by a GFR test.

A man with type a blood marries a woman with type b blood. their child has type o blood. what are the genotypes of these three i

avanturin [10]

If someone has blood type A, they must have atleast one copy of the A allele, but they could have two copies. Their genotype is either AA or AO. while an individual with blood type B will have a genotype of either BB or BO. Individuals with type O blood will have a genotype OO. Both A and B alleles are dominant over O.
Therefore, the genotype of the man is AO, that of the mother is BO, while that of the child is OO.
In future from this marriage, the possible genotypes are;
AO, BO, AB, or OO
In the frequency of 1/4 each.

Can gold be created from other elements? why?

Kay [80]

Answer:

yes, gold can be created from other elements. The process requires nuclear reactions and is so expensive that currently it would cost a lot more than the price of natural gold available, therefore, unprofitable. Gold is the chemical element with 79 protons in each atomic nucleus. Every atom containing 79 protons is a gold atom, and all gold atoms behave the same chemically. In principle, gold can be created by simply assembling 79 protons, (and enough neutrons to make the nucleus stable).
