INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a critical comorbidity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), often linked to congestion due to elevated filling pressures. However, the role of subtle systolic dysfunction in CKD remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate t...
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to evaluate quality indicators of secondary health care in chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: This retrospective longitudinal study was conducted in an outpatient medical nephrology clinic of the Brazilian Unified Health System (UHS) and a multidisciplina...
INTRODUCTION: Southern Hemisphere countries have been underrepresented in epidemiological studies on acute kidney injury (AKI). The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in adult hospitalized patients from the emergency department of a public high-com...
INTRODUÇÃO: Doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são a principal causa de óbito de pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC), tanto naqueles em terapia renal substitutiva quanto naqueles em tratamento conservador. A prevalência da DCV está intimamente ligada à presença e ao controle de fatores de ris...
INTRODUCTION: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed on neutrophils regulate their mobilization from the bone marrow into the blood, their half-live in the circulation, and their pro- and anti-inflammatory activities during inflammation. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with systemic inf...
BACKGROUND Although approximately 25% of Brazilians have private health coverage (PHC), studies on the surveillance of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this population are scarce. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of CKD in individuals under two PHC regimes in Brazil, who total 8,...
INTRODUÇÃO: A insuficiência cardíaca com fração de ejeção preservada (ICFEP) aumenta significativamente o risco de desenvolvimento de doença renal crônica (DRC), afetando adversamente desfechos clínicos como mortalidade prematura, morbidade, complicações multiorgânicas e custos de saúde. E...
ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) provides a worse prognosis for patients with heart disease. In Latin America, studies that analyzed the prevalence and risk stratification of CKD in this population are scarce. We aimed to evaluate CKD prevalence and risk categories in patients of a public referral ...
INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury (AKI) are important complications of heart diseases. In developing countries, epidemiological and cost information on the interaction of these conditions are scarce. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence, costs and outcomes of patients admitt...
INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, preventable and silent in its early stages. Therefore, early detection of this condition in the population at risk, through laboratory tests, is essential. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the CKD prevalence and perform its risk stratification in a tertiary he...
