Secondary protein in the muscle of exercised rats that received creatine supplementation

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 27 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT Introduction: Currently there is a lack of clarity around the use of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze the effect of creatine (Cr) supplementation on the secondary structures of skeletal muscle tissue protein subjected to exercise. Objective: The objective of this stud...

Performance of the CKD-EPI and MDRD equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate: a systematic review of Latin American studies

Säo Paulo med. j; 139 (5), 2021
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The most-used equations for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations. However, it is unclear which of these shows better performance in Latin America. OBJECTIVE: To as...

Determinación de una nueva constante para la estimación del filtrado glomerular en pediatría

Arch. argent. pediatr; 119 (5), 2021
Introducción. En pediatría, el filtrado glomerular (FG) se puede calcular con el clearance (depuración) de creatinina medida corregida en ml/min/1,73 m2, o se puede estimar según la fórmula de Schwartz (FGe = talla/creatinina plasmática x k). La constante k depende del método de determinación de...

Investigation of the protective and therapeutic effects of β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) and Thymoquinone in the diabetic nephropathy

In this study, against streptozotocin (STZ) induced diapetic nephropathy (DN); it is aimed to investigate the use of thymoquinone (TQ) and β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) and to compare the effects of these agents. With random selection of 35 male rats, five groups (seven rats in each group) were consti...

Resumo Fundamento: O agravamento da função renal (AFR) é frequentemente observado na terapia agressiva com diuréticos para o tratamento de insuficiência cardíaca aguda descompensada (ICAD) e está associado com piores desfechos em alguns estudos. Objetivo: Avaliar a relação de AFR e congestão ...

An Assessment of the Accuracy of Creatinine Measurements in Guyana

West Indian med. j; 69 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is relatively high in Guyana. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting allows for early-stage CKD identification when therapeutic interventions can prevent CKD progression. Accurate creatinine measurements are essential for ...

The spleen size in patients undergoing hemodialysis

J. bras. nefrol; 43 (1), 2021
Abstract Introduction: Inflammation promotes the progression of chronic renal failure, and the start of dialysis worsens inflammation. The enlargement of the spleen is associated with inflammation, and patients on hemodialysis may show a large spleen. The aim of the present study was to compare the sple...

Evaluación de la función renal en adultos mayores

Rev. méd. Chile; 149 (3), 2021
The evaluation of renal function in older adults is usually carried out with a creatinine clearance or an estimation of glomerular filtration rate using formulas such as Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD or CKD-EPI. The results obtained with these formulas are often regarded as equivalent. However, in adults older t...
