Doctors measure the blood creatinine level as a test of kidney function. The kidneys' ability to handle creatinine is called the creatinine clearance rate, which helps to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -- the rate of blood flow through the kidneys.
Martin Luther King and MLK redirect here. For other uses, see Martin Luther King (disambiguation) and MLK (disambiguation). Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr., January 15, 1929 â April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister and activist who was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
Stalin, Kamenev, and Zinoviev were against Trotsky and Bukharin. Eventually Stalin switched sides and joined Bukharin, and together defeated Trotsky. By 1928 Stalin was said to have control over the communist party in Russia. The ordered assassination of Trotsky was the final stage of Stalin's rise to power. Stalin ordered that this took place in Mexico, where he had lived when he was exiled from the Soviet Union. Only a few members of the Old Bolsheviks, Stalin and the foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, remained after Trotsky's death.
