Cognition and renal function: findings from a Brazilian population

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Introduction: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, with a potential impact in the risk of acceleration of dementia. The potential association between glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cognitive performance was scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate ...

Predicting urine output after kidney transplantation: development and internal validation of a nomogram for clinical use

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze pre-transplantation and early postoperative factors affecting post-transplantation urine output and develop a predictive nomogram. Patients and Methods: Retrospective analysis of non-preemptive first transplanted adult patients between 2001-2016. The outcomes were hourly di...

Performance of the equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate in Mexican patients receiving kidney transplantation

Gac. méd. Méx; 155 (3), 2019
Abstract Introduction: The management of kidney transplant recipients requires glomerular filtration rate (GFR) monitoring, which is an indicator of graft primary function and patient survival. Objective: To evaluate the performance of different creatinine or cystatin-based formulas in the estimation o...

Evaluation of the royal free hospital cirrhosis glomerular filtration rate formula in hispanic patients with cirrhosis: an external validation

Rev. invest. clín; 71 (3), 2019
Abstract Background and Aims Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) is the ideal method for adequate evaluation of kidney function. However, it is invasive, costly, and not widely accessible. Moreover, GFR estimation in patients with cirrhosis has been inaccur...

Protección renal y hepática por condicionamiento isquémico a distancia en la revascularización miocárdica quirúrgica

CorSalud; 11 (2), 2019
RESUMEN Introducción: Breves períodos de isquemia a distancia pueden limitar el daño miocárdico producido por la isquemia/reperfusión. Objetivos: Identificar el efecto del condicionamiento isquémico a distancia con fines de protección renal y hepática, relacionado al comportamiento postoperat...

Efectos en la función renal de la suplementación de creatina con fines deportivos

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (5), 2019
Creatine supplements may transitorily rise serum creatinine levels and mimic a kidney disease. If its use is associated with a high protein diet, the resulting increase in blood urea nitrogen will increase the confusion. Since clinical laboratories usually inform the estimated glomerular filtration rate ...

Aerobic exercise effects in renal function and quality of life of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: To date, the therapeutic effects of exercise have not yet been evaluated regarding renal function parameters and quality of life specifically in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. Thus, the study aim was to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise in renal function and qu...

Effect of preoperative creatinine levels on mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: an observational study

Abstract Introduction: Renal function is an independent risk factor for mortality among on-pump coronary bypass grafting (ONCABG) patients. This association is well known in the international literature, but there is a lack of knowledge of how admission creatinine (AC) levels modulate each cardiovascula...

Evaluation of the use of tacrolimus ointment for the prevention of hypertrophic scars in experimental model

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (2), 2019
Abstract BACKGROUND: Tacrolimus, for its activity on modulation of collagen production and fibroblast activity, may have a role in the prevention of hypertrophic scars. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate macroscopic, microscopic, metabolic, laboratory effects and side effects of the use of topical tacrolimus ointmen...

An atypical presentation of a severe and massive atheroembolic disease

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT Atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) is a kidney manifestation of atherosclerosis as a systemic disease. AERD is defined as a renal impairment secondary to embolization of cholesterol crystals with consequent occlusion of renal vascularization. The current case report describes one patient with mu...
