Comparative studies on endogenous creatinine and urea clearances in paraplegics and tetraplegics

Sudeck's atrophy in traumatic quadriplegia

“…In the male patients, the uric acid level rose with age. Slightly higher levels are not unexpected in view of the known impaired renal function in patients with paraplegia and quad riplegia (Doggart et at., 1966). One of the patients, aged 42 years, had radiological destructive arthritic changes in his feet consistent with gout, but no symptoms referable to his feet.…”

Urinary calcium, magnesium, crystals and stones in paraplegia

“…Renal function as measured by endogenous creatinine clearance is generally normal in acute paraplegics (Doggart et al, 1966).…”

Changes in renal function during acute spinal cord injury: implications for pharmacotherapy

“…While studies based on serum creatinine are faulty, this does not apply where the trouble is taken to perform a full creatinine clearance test. I would draw their attention to the research carried out nearly 60 years ago by Doggart and Silver 2 and Doggart et al, 3 in which we compared urea clearance and creatinine clearance following the procedure outlined below:…”
