Assessment of kidney function

Assessment of kidney function occurs in different ways, using the presence of symptoms and signs, as well as measurements using urine tests, blood tests, and medical imaging.

See Body surface area and Assessment of kidney function

Body mass index

Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person.

See Body surface area and Body mass index

Cardiac index

Cardiac index (CI) is a haemodynamic parameter that relates the cardiac output (CO) from left ventricle in one minute to body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual.

See Body surface area and Cardiac index

Cardiac output

In cardiac physiology, cardiac output (CO), also known as heart output and often denoted by the symbols Q, \dot Q, or \dot Q_, edited by Catherine E. Williamson, Phillip Bennett is the volumetric flow rate of the heart's pumping output: that is, the volume of blood being pumped by a single ventricle of the heart, per unit time (usually measured per minute).

Centimetre

Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales. The microwave is in-between 1 meter to 1 millimeter. A centimetre (International spelling) or centimeter (American spelling), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.

Clearance (pharmacology)

In pharmacology, clearance (Cl_) is a pharmacokinetic parameter representing the efficiency of drug elimination.

European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) is a unique pan-European non-profit clinical cancer research organisation established in 1962 operating as an international association under Belgium law.

Glomerular filtration rate

Renal functions include maintaining an acid–base balance; regulating fluid balance; regulating sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes; clearing toxins; absorption of glucose, amino acids, and other small molecules; regulation of blood pressure; production of various hormones, such as erythropoietin; and activation of vitamin D.

Glucocorticoid

Glucocorticoids (or, less commonly, glucocorticosteroids) are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones.

Hanan Costeff

Hanan Costeff (1926–2005) was an Israeli pediatric neurologist, researcher, and teacher.

Human body

The human body is the entire structure of a human being. Body surface area and human body are human physiology.

See Body surface area and Human body

Human body weight

Human body weight is a person's mass or weight.

See Body surface area and Human body weight

Kilogram

The kilogram (also kilogramme) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), having the unit symbol kg.

Medicina Internacia Revuo

Medicina Internacia Revuo (originally Internacia Medicina Revuo or, in English, the International Medical Review) is the official organ of Universala Medicina Esperanto Asocio, an organization that gathers physicians, pharmacists, and other medical professionals who have a working knowledge of Esperanto.

Medicine

Medicine is the science and practice of caring for patients, managing the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, treatment, palliation of their injury or disease, and promoting their health.

See Body surface area and Medicine

Metre

The metre (or meter in US spelling; symbol: m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

See Body surface area and Metre

Personalized medicine

Personalized medicine, also referred to as precision medicine, is a medical model that separates people into different groups—with medical decisions, practices, interventions and/or products being tailored to the individual patient based on their predicted response or risk of disease.

See Body surface area and Personalized medicine

Physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of functions and mechanisms in a living system.

PLOS One

PLOS One (stylized PLOS ONE, and formerly PLoS ONE) is a peer-reviewed open access mega journal published by the Public Library of Science (PLOS) since 2006.

Surface area

The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. Body surface area and surface area are area.

The New England Journal of Medicine

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is a weekly medical journal published by the Massachusetts Medical Society.

Therapeutic index

The therapeutic index (TI; also referred to as therapeutic ratio) is a quantitative measurement of the relative safety of a drug.
