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...

Cistatina C: marcador de laboratorio precoz de enfermedad renal en pacientes con depranocitosis
Cystatin C: early laboratory marker of renal disease In sickle cell disease

La enfermedad renal en el paciente con drepanocitosis es una consecuencia de su complejo proceso fisiopatológico, por lo que es importante disponer de un grupo de parámetros de laboratorio que, junto a la evaluación clínica, permita determinar de forma precoz la presencia de esta complicación. La ci...

Dietary intake of non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients: the PROGREDIR study. A cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 136 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Despite evidence that diet is very important in relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, studies in this field are scarce and have focused only on some specific nutrients. We evaluated the energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes and dietary patterns of non-dial...

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...

Nephrometry scores and perioperative outcomes following robotic partial nephrectomy

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives: Based on imaging features, nephrometry scoring systems have been conceived to create a standardized and reproducible way to characterize renal tumor anatomy. However, less is known about which of these individual measures are important with regard to clinically relevant perioperativ...

Do We Need to Personalize Renal Function Assessment in the Stratification of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery?

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (4), 2017
Abstract Background: Renal dysfunction is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. For a better assessment of renal function, calculation of creatinine clearance (CC) may be necessary. Objective: To objectively evaluate whether CC is a better risk predictor than serum cre...

Arterial stiffness and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in chronic kidney disease patients

Summary Objective: Arterial stiffness refers to arterial wall rigidity, particularly developing in central vessels. Arterial stiffness increases in early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all cause mortality. Vitamin D has beneficial effects on blood ...

Characterization of an experimental model of progressive renal disease in rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (11), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To characterize an experimental model of progressive renal disease induced by different degrees of nephrectomy in rats. METHODS: Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into four experimental groups (n=20/group): sham surgery (control group), progressive degrees of nephrectomy leading to...

The role of oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of oxidative stress in an experimental model of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats. Materials and methods Wistar, adult, male rats were used in the study. Animals were divided in the following groups: Citrate (co...
