Is coronary disease risk curve of serum creatinine linear in Turkish men , U-shaped in women?
Increasing serum creatinine values are associated strongly and independently with CHD risk in men but not in women in whom the risk curve is U-shaped. The phenomenon of low creatinine levels underlies some hitherto unexplained relevant observations, and low measurements may be attributed to inassayability secondary to involvement in autoimmune activation.
Increased prednisolone dose and older age are strongly associated with the development of posttransplant glucose intolerance.
