A test in which blood or urine samples are checked for the amounts of certain substances released by the kidneys. A higher- or lower-than-normal amount of a substance can be a sign that the kidneys are not working the way they should. Also called kidney function test.
Cystatin C - Early Risk Assessment of Renal Impairment MAY18Randox Reagents
Cystatin C is a small (13 kDa) cysteine proteinase inhibitor, produced by all nucleated cells at a constant rate. Cystatin C travels through the bloodstream to the kidneys where it is freely filtered by the glomerular membrane, resorbed and fully catabolised by the proximal renal tubes. Consequently, Cystatin C is the ideal biomarker of GFR function.
Modeling Algorithm of Estimation Of Renal Function by the Cockcroft and M...hiij
The purpose of this study was to determine the concordance between two equations used for estimating
glomerular filtration rate, in order to verify the possibility to be used interchangeably in the clinical
practice. The two equations are of Cockcroft & Gault (CG) (1976) formula and MDRD (modification of
Diet in Renal Disease) (1999) formula, these two models allow the assessment of glomerular filtration rate
(GFR) by calculating creatinine clearance (CLCR).To make a comparison between these two formulas
different models were examined for Subjects with normal renal function, Patients with renal impairment,
Diabetic patients, Age and sex, finally lean and obese patients by modeling two algorithms with the two
functions. Results show that the formula of Cockcroft & Gault remains the method of choice for estimating
renal function in clinical practice.
Creatinine clearance may be used as indicator for GFR because:
Creatinine is endogenously produced.
Creatinine is released into body fluid at constant rate.
Its plasma level maintained within narrow limits.
Its plasma level not affected by dietary factors

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

capillaries into
the Bowman's
capsule per unit
time.
3. It is calculated by
measuring any chemical
that has a steady level in
the blood, and is freely

reabsorbed nor secreted
by the kidneys
GFR is typically recorded
in units of volume per time.

5. In day to day clinical practice an estimation
of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is required
for various reasons viz,
a) assessment of renal function.
b) severity of renal disease
c) calculation of proper drug dosage and
d) appraisal of renal involvement in systemic
diseases.
IMPORTANCE OF GFR MEASUREMENT
6. I. CLEARENCE METHODS:
-EXOGENOUS SUBSTANCE
-ENDOGENOUS SUBSTANCE
II. FROM PLASMA CREATININE
III. BY NEW ENDOGENOUS MARKERS
METHODS USED FOR
MEASURING GFR
7. A) Exogenous Substances
i) Inulin:- (MW 5200 dalton), a polymer of fructose is considered the
gold standard for the estimation of GFR. It is freely filtered by
glomerulus, and is neither reabsorbed nor secreted by the renal tubules.
It is metabolically inert and cleared only by the kidney. It requires
constant IV infusion to maintain plasma level and once steady state has
been achieved, plasma and timed urine specimen levels are measured.
However, analysis of inulin is technically demanding, time consuming,
labour intensive, costly and unsuitable for out patient use. The reference
ranges for the GFR in normal individuals given by Smith are 88 to
174 ml/min/1.73m2 for males and 87 to 147ml.min/1.73m2 for females .
8. ii)Non-radiolabelled contrast media:- In addition to inulin, non-
radiolabelled contrast media infusion (iothalamate / iohexol) have
been used to measure GFR. One advantage is that urography and an
estimation of GFR can be done at a single examination (3).
Cumbersome measurement makes it unsuitable for day to day
clinical practice.
iii)Radiolabelled compounds:- A number of radiolabelled
chelates have been used to assess the GFR in man, as very small
non-toxic amounts of the compound can be given and can be
measured even at very low concentrations using conventional
counters. Amongst these are [51Cr] EDTA, [125I] iothalamate,
[99Tcm] DTPA, [131I] Hippuran to mention a few . Disadvantages
are that some radiation is administered, radiopharmaceuticals
are more expensive, Gamma camera and skilled personnel are
needed. Hence these chelates cannot be used routinely to assess
GFR.
9. • B) Endogenous Substances
i) Urea (MW 60 dalton) was one of the first
markers for assessing GFR (6) but at present is
not used in clinical practice due to several
reasons. Urea production is variable and varies
with protein intake. It is readily reabsorbed by
tubules and again amount of reabsorption is
variable. Hydration status of the individual also
affects urea clearance markedly, increased
plasma levels accompany decreased urine flow
in patients with depleted intravascular volume.
In addition many substances may interfere with
its estimation.
10. One method of determining GFR from creatinine is
to collect urine (usually for 24-hours) to determine
the amount of creatinine that was removed from
the blood over a given time interval.
Creatinine clearance (CCr) is calculated from the
creatinine concentration in the collected urine
sample (UCr), urine flow rate (V), and the plasma
concentration (PCr).
ii.)creatinine clearance
11. PRACTICE PROBLEM 1:
A person has a plasmacreatinine concentration
of 0.01 mg/ml and in 1 hour produces 60ml of
urine with a creatinine concentration of 1.25
mg/mL.
13. II. PLASMA CREATININE
•Approximation of GFR from plasma creatinine may give unreliable
results because plasma creatinine is not only dependent on GFR but
also on muscle mass which varies with age, weight and gender.
• In cirrhosis and diseases with reduced muscle mass, plasma
Creatinine is low, conversely a high protein intake can lead to 10%
increase in plasma creatinine . Further more a marked reduction in
GFR can be present before it is reflected in plasma creatinine
concentration above the upper limit of normal range
•. To improve the estimation of GFR from plasma creatinine
concentration, formulas which incorporate variables like age,
weight, height and gender can be used. Some commonly used
formulas are shown in Table . The most widely employed and best
validated for use in adults is that of Cockroft and Gault (15).
18. III: GFR estimation by new endogenous
markers:-
• a) ß2-Microglobulin (M.W 11815 dalton) is filtered at
glomerulus like water. Subsequently >99.9% is reabsorbed and
degraded in renal tubule. Because it is filtered so readily, its
plasma concentration in health is low(average 1.5mg/ L). The
plasma concentration increases as the glomerular filteration rate
declines reaching about 40mg/l in terminal uremia. The
logarithm of the plasma concentration is linearly related to the
logarithm of glomerular filtration rate throughout the whole
range so that it provides an excellent marker for renal
dysfunction. The plasma concentration of ß2-microglobular is
not affected by muscle mass nor by sex of individual. As its
estimation involves expensive radioimmunoassay it has not yet
become more useful in clinical practice. Also in patients with
some tumors and inflammatory diseases there may be increase
in plasma concentration due to increased production rather
than reduced clearance (19).
19. • b) Cystatin C is a 13-KD protease inhibitor
which is produced by all nucleated cells and is
independent of muscle mass and sex. Its
production, unlike ß2-microglobulin is not
affected by inflammatory states or
malignancies. Cystatin C is eliminated by
glomerular filtration and metabolized by
proximal tubular cells. Its measurement has
been proposed as an alternative and more
sensitive marker of GFR than creatinine
particularly in patients with slight to
moderately decreased GFR .
20.
21. Creatinine clearance remains the most widely
used test for estimating GFR in clinical practice
despite its many disadvantages and problems.
Appreciating the limitations, GFR can be
estimated with reasonable accuracy and
precision from serum creatinine alone with Clcr
prediction formulas, Cystatin C could well enter
the clinical field as a routine method for
estimating GFR in the near future
