A system is described and evaluated for the simultaneous measurement of the intrinsic
optical properties of tissue: the scattering coefficient, the absorption coefficient, and the …

To better understand the diagnostic and predictive performance of urinary biomarkers of
kidney injury, we evaluated γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), …

Although guidelines recommend fixed cardiac troponin thresholds for the diagnosis of
myocardial infarction, troponin concentrations are influenced by age, sex, comorbidities and time …

Supplement . Background: High-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) are …

We performed a double-blind placebo-controlled trial to study whether early treatment with
erythropoietin could prevent the development of acute kidney injury in patients in two general …

Background Data regarding high-sensitivity troponin concentrations in patients presenting
to the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of myocardial infarction may be …

Background . Plasma cystatin C (pCysC) has been proposed as an alternative to plasma
creatinine (pCr) as a measure of renal function. We compared the detection of functional …

Background Robust estimates and sources of variation in risks of clinical outcomes for
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) are needed to inform clinical …

Importance High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I testing is widely used to evaluate patients with
suspected acute coronary syndrome. A cardiac troponin concentration of less than 5 ng/L …

Pre-renal acute kidney injury (AKI) is assumed to represent a physiological response to
underperfusion. Its diagnosis is retrospective after a transient rise in plasma creatinine, usually …
