Objective: To evaluate the relationship between 24-h and 8-h urinary protein excretion and protein-to-ceratinine (p:c) ratio in random urine sample. As well as determining a best cutoff for p:c ratio for accurately diagnose significant proteinuria.
Methods: Fifty hospitalized pregnant women who need 24 h urine collection for medical complications were studied. At first for each patient protein-to-createnin ratio in random urine sample was done. Then 8- and 24-h urinary protein estimation was performed. The 24-h and 8-h urinary protein were compared to urinary p:c ratio in random urine sample.
Results: There were significant correlations (p < 0.001) between protein levels of 24-h and 8-h urine collections (r = 0.75), 24-h and random urine p:c ratio (r = 0.97) as well as 8-h and random urine p:c ratio (r = 0.79). Mean protein levels were significantly higher in group with proteinuria ≥ 300 mg/24 h in these three types of urine samples (p < 0.001). We found cutoff levels of 105 mg for 8-h urine sample and of 0.18 for p:c ratio.
Conclusions: This study showed that 8-h urine protein or random p:c ratio in a single-voided urine can be appropriate methods for detection of proteinuria in the shorter period than 24-h urine protein.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication, and hypotension may contribute. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that individualized intraoperative blood pressure regulation reduces postoperative AKI in older surgical patients.
Methods: We enrolled patients ≥60 years old scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery with invasive arterial pressure monitoring.

Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ibuprofen ingestion exacerbates markers of acute kidney injury (AKI), gastrointestinal (GI) injury, and endotoxemia after running in the heat.
Methods: Using a randomized double-blind crossover design, eleven physically active individuals (six women) ingested 600 mg of ibuprofen or placebo 12- and one-hour prior to running one-hour in a heated chamber (35 °C, 20%-60% R.H.

Background: The albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) is known to predict prognosis in liposarcoma patients, but its role in other tumors remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic relationship between ACR and common solid tumors.
Methods: Data from the Investigation on Nutrition Status and Clinical Outcome of Common Cancers (INSCOC) between 2013 and 2022 were used to analyze patients under 65 years old with solid tumors.
