Effects of hyperuricemia on incident renal replacement therapy and all-cause mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-5: a retrospective cohort study

Säo Paulo med. j; 137 (6), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Findings regarding the effects of hyperuricemia on renal function and mortality have been inconsistent. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of hyperuricemia on incident renal replacement therapy and all-cause mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). DESIGN ...

Possible association between dysnatremias and mortality during hospitalization in patients undergoing acute hemodialysis: analysis from a Peruvian retrospective cohort

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (4), 2019
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between dysnatremias or dyschloremias and mortality during hospitalization in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing acute hemodialysis. Methods: We carried out a retrospective cohort study on adult patients und...

Chronic kidney disease patients who smoke have higher serum phosphorus

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Introduction: Mineral and bone metabolism disorders in chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) constitute a syndrome defined by changes in calcium, phosphorus (P), vitamin D and parathormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and its specific cofactor, Klotho. CKD-MBD, as well as smoking, are assoc...

Variación biológica de Creatinina, Cistatina C y Tasa de Filtrado Glomerular Estimada a lo largo de 24 horas

Antecedentes: La tasa de filtración glomerular estimada (TFGe) es ampliamente utilizada en la práctica clínica. El presente estudio evaluó la variación biológica intraindividual (CVI) de diferentes ecuaciones de TFGe en sujetos con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) y sin ERC. Los objetivos de este es...

The body marked by the arteriovenous fistula: a phenomenological point of view

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experience of people with chronic kidney disease using arteriovenous fistula. Method: Qualitative and exploratory study based on Social Phenomenology, conducted on 30 adults undergoing hemodialysis by using the fistula, interviewed in 2017. The interviews were anal...

In vitro effect of uremic serum on barrier function and inflammation in human colonocytes

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), it has been suggested that alterations within the gut are associated with an inflammatory state and uremic toxicity. Studies suggest that uremia may impair the function of the intestinal barrier via the promotion of increased intestinal permeabilit...

Effects of Low-Protein Diet on lipid and anthropometric profiles of patients with chronic kidney disease on conservative management

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) patients have a high prevalence of cardiovascular mortality, and among the risk factors are dyslipidemia and obesity, common findings in the early stages of CKD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low protein diet (LPD) on the lipid a...

Association between glomerular filtration rate (measured by high-performance liquid chromatography with iohexol) and plasma oxalate

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Secondary hyperoxalemia is a multifactorial disease that affects several organs and tissues in patients with native or transplanted kidneys. Plasma oxalate may increase during renal failure because it is cleared from the body by the kidneys. However, there is scarce evidence about...

Does high intensity exercise affects irisin plasma levels in hemodialysis patients? A pilot study

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: Irisin is a recently identified exercise-induced hormone that stimulates the "browning" of the white adipose tissue, at least in mice. In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, irisin regulation is not fully understood, and little attention has been given to the effects of exercise ...
