The effect of gentamicin nephrotoxicity in newborn mice at breastfeeding

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
Gentamicin can pass through the placenta. This antibiotic also enters breast milk, but its absorption in the intestine is insignificant, so that it could be only found in half of the infants' blood. In the present study, it is attempted to experimentally evaluate the toxic effect of gentamicin on the kid...

Are pre and postoperative platelet to lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio associated with early postoperative aki following cabg?

Abstract Objective: In this study, we investigated the role of two of the recent biomarkers of inflammation on the development of acute kidney injury in the early postoperative period of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods: Three hundred and eleven patients, who underwent isolated coronar...

Consecuencias de la selección inadecuada de la ecuación de estimación de la tasa de filtración glomerular

El objetivo del trabajo consistió en evaluar, en una muestra de estudiantes, las consecuencias sobre la Tasa de Filtración Glomerular estimada (TFGe) por MDRD-4, MDRD-4 IDMS y CKD-EPI producidas por la selección inadecuada de las fórmulas según la trazabilidad de la creatininemia utilizada y valorar...

An experimental study on the preventive effects of N-acetyl cysteine and ozone treatment against contrast-induced nephropathy

Acta cir. bras; 33 (6), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To compare the preventive effects of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), ozone preconditioning and ozone treatment against contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in an experimental rat model. Methods: Thirty adult male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into five groups (n=6 for each group). Gro...

Methods: 291 patients requiring elective off-pump corona...

Abdominal obesity and reduction of glomerular filtration

SUMMARY The objective was to evaluate the association between nutritional status and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in remaining quilombolas. Cross-sectional study carried out on 32 remaining quilombola communities in the municipality of Alcântara-MA. The nutritional indicators (IN) used were: bod...

Creatinina y su uso para la estimación de la velocidad de filtración glomerular

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (3), 2018
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best approximation to global renal function and its estimation is of great relevance for clinical practice. Since the measurement of GFR by reference methods is complex, costly and not widely available, its routine evaluation is performed using endogenous biomarker...

Índice calcio-creatinina en una muestra matutina de orina para la estimación de hipercalciuria asociada con hematuria no glomerular observada en las edades infanto-juveniles

Resumen Introducción: La hipercalciuria suele revelarse durante el diagnóstico diferencial de la hematuria que acompaña a la litiasis renal. La exactitud diagnóstica de la excreción urinaria de calcio puede afectarse por las insuficiencias asociadas con la colección de orina de 24 horas. En este ...

Parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos de bezerros neonatos da raça Holandesa tratados com ferro suplementar

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (2), 2018
A deficiência de ferro em bezerros neonatos está associada ao desenvolvimento de anemia, que favorece o aparecimento de outras enfermidades como pneumonia e diarreia. Avaliou-se o efeito da suplementação de ferro sobre o eritrograma, teores séricos de ferro, ceruloplasmina e transferrina, bem como o...
