  2. AST/ALT ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AST/ALT_ratio

    The proportion of AST to ALT in hepatocytes is about 2.5:1, but because AST is removed from serum by the liver sinusoidal cells twice as quickly (serum half-life t 1/2 = 18 hr) compared to ALT (t 1/2 = 36 hr), so the resulting serum levels of AST and ALT are about equal in healthy individuals, resulting in a normal AST/ALT ratio around 1.

  3. Cystatin C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystatin_C

    Based on a threshold level of 1.09 mg/L (the 99th percentile in a population of 20- to 39-year-olds without hypertension, diabetes, microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria or higher than stage 3 chronic kidney disease), the prevalence of increased levels of cystatin C in the United States was 9.6% in subjects of normal weight, increasing in ...

  4. Pre-eclampsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-eclampsia

    Both circulating and placental levels of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) are higher in women with pre-eclampsia than in women with normal pregnancy. [ 26 ] sFlt-1 is an anti-angiogenic protein that antagonizes vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PIGF), both of which are proangiogenic factors. [ 15 ]

    One meta-analysis found that vitamin D levels are low in people with rheumatoid arthritis and that vitamin D status correlates inversely with prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency is associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis. [210]

    The algorithm's developers backed the results, citing that black people have higher creatinine levels, which can be a lurking variable in eGFR calculations. Vyas makes a rebuttal to this idea, stating, "Explanations that have been given for this finding include the notion that black people release more creatinine into their blood at baseline ...

  7. Euler's constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_constant

    Euler's constant (sometimes called the Euler–Mascheroni constant) is a mathematical constant, usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma (γ), defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm, denoted here by log: Here, ⌊·⌋ represents the floor function.

  8. Bessel function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_function

    Bessel functions describe the radial part of vibrations of a circular membrane. Bessel functions, first defined by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and then generalized by Friedrich Bessel, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation for an arbitrary complex number , which represents the order of the Bessel function.

    Furthermore, a recent study showed that patients described as being "Uncontrolled Diabetics" (defined in this study by HbA1C levels >8%) showed a statistically significant decrease in the HbA1C levels after a 90-day period of seven-point self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) with a relative risk reduction (RRR) of 0.18% (95% CI, 0.86–2.64% ...
