Detection and correction of incomplete duplicate 24-hour urine collections - theory and practical evidence.

Introduction: The intraindividual variability in urinary creatinine excretion is notoriously large. The aims of this study were to investigate the variability of duplicate consecutive 24-hour urinary creatinine excretions in patients and to develop a model for the detection and correction of discrepant creatinine excretions.

Materials And Methods: A group of 270 patients (82 men and 188 women) were included in the study.

Prophylactic treatment with alkaline phosphatase in cardiac surgery induces endogenous alkaline phosphatase release.

Introduction: Laboratory and clinical data have implicated endotoxin as an important factor in the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass. We assessed the effects of the administration of bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase (bIAP), an endotoxin detoxifier, on alkaline phosphatase levels in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods: A total of 63 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were enrolled and prospectively randomized.
