Non-invasive conductivity technique to detect changes in haematocrit:in vitro validation
An on-line haematocrit measurement in extracorporeal circuits might be useful under some clinical circumstances (e.g. haemodialysis or cardiac surgery). As no such measurement exists, a device has been develop...

99mTc-MAG3: Dynamic studies in patients with renal disease
Animal studies have suggested that 99mTc-mercapto-acetylglycyl-glycyl-glycine (99mTc-MAG3) might be suitable for the determination of the renal plasma flow (RPF) because of its high renal clearance. In this study...

The effect of captopril on renal function in patients during the first cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II infusion
On the assumption that hemodynamic changes in renal blood flow are the initial expression of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP)-related nephrotoxicity, we treated patients with metastatic non-seminomatous tes...

Acute effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) on renal function
Ten previously untreated patients with metastatic non-seminomatous testicular carcinoma received cis-diamminechloroplatinum (CDDP). Renal function studies were performed before and following the first CDDP inf...
