Abstract:
The introduction of a new test is often slow and obsolete tests are hard to get rid of. After nearly 20 years, the cardiac proteins troponin I and T have not yet replaced the old creatinin kinase myocardial band (CK-MB). International guidelines now recommend the use of troponin as marker for myocardial necrosis and only CK-MB when troponin is not available. However, 23 of 46 Danish laboratories still use CK-MB. The additional cost thus incurred could be used for other beneficial purposes. It is recommended to follow the international guidelines.

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Renal clearance refers to the volume of plasma cleared of a specific substance, such as creatinine, per unit of time. To measure clearance, urine samples are collected over a 24-hour period during each bladder voiding, followed by a single blood sample at the...
