[Creatinine index in the diagnosis of myopathies. New method for determination]. 1978

L I Comi, and M A Giugliano, and F M Limongelli, and R Punzo

A new spectrophotometric method for determination of creatine and creatinine values, and hence calculation of the creatine index, is reported. Micropipetting of fingerprick quantities (0.3 ml) of blood enables values to be obtained from obese and progressive muscular dystrophy subjects, whose veins are difficult to find without damaging the tissues.

D009136 Muscular Dystrophies A heterogeneous group of inherited MYOPATHIES, characterized by wasting and weakness of the SKELETAL MUSCLE. They are categorized by the sites of MUSCLE WEAKNESS; AGE OF ONSET; and INHERITANCE PATTERNS.

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects.
