Cross-sectional study carried out on 32 remaining quilombola communities in the municipality of Alcântara-MA. The nutritional indicators (IN) used were: bod...

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...
