RENAL DISEASE
Height and weight will be recorded at the first visit. Smoking history, alcohol consumption, and vital signs will be assessed at each visit. Clinical laboratory tests will include complete blood count and measurement of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine kinase, uric acid, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorus, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and HbA1c levels. Biomarkers will be measured from a blood sample from each patient at each visit, with the exception of HbA1c. The estimated glomerular filtration rate will be calculated using the creatinine-based Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation.
