The Precision Q.I.D System, which utilizes glucose oxidase reaction, is safe for use in diabetic patients treated with Icodextrin. All analysers must be cross-checked with the laboratory reference method before use in these patients.
Aims To assess the effect of trandolapril (2 mg once daily) and indomethacin (25 mg three times daily), alone and in combination, on renal function and renal functional reserve in hypertensive patients (DBP 95-115 mmHg) requiring regular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Methods Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, four way crossover design. After 3 weeks treatment renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were measured using the p-aminohippurate (PAH) and inulin methods. Renal functional reserve was estimated by measuring RPF and GFR at the end of an intravenous infusion of dopamine 2 mg kg −1 and 10% amino acid solution.Results There was no significant difference in RPF between treatments: −22.79 ml min −1 (95% CI −54.82, 9.24) for placebo and trandolapril, −10.37 ml min
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
