Rare inherited kidney diseases: an evolving field in Nephrology

J. bras. nefrol; 42 (2), 2020
Abstract There are more than 150 different rare genetic kidney diseases. They can be classified according to diagnostic findings as (i) disorders of growth and structure, (ii) glomerular diseases, (iii) tubular, and (iv) metabolic diseases. In recent years, there has been a shift of paradigm in this fiel...

Glomerular filtration rate and its relationship with visceral and subcutaneous adiposity: a study with patients from Northeast Brazil

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (3), 2020
ABSTRACT Objective: evaluate the relationship between visceral/subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT/SAT) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Methods: A case series study was conducted with 146 male and female adult outpatients at a hospital in Northeast Brazil. VAT and SAT were quantified using computed ...

Guía de práctica clínica para el tamizaje, diagnóstico y manejo de la enfermedad renal crónica en los estadios 1 al 3

La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) consiste en la pérdida progresiva de la función renal a través de cinco estadios (1, 2). Esta condición es un problema de salud pública que ocasiona daños en la calidad de vida y pérdidas socioeconómicas por la mortalidad, discapacidad y costos asociados que gen...

Função renal alterada: prevalência e fatores associados em pacientes de risco

Introdução: a doença renal crônica (DRC) nos estágios iniciais não apresenta manifestações clínicas e, por isso, as pessoas somente procuram as unidades de saúde já na fase terminal da doença. Isso ainda é uma rotina no Brasil. Objetivo: identificar a prevalência de taxa de filtração glom...

Cardiometabolic risk factors associated with renal function in apparently healthy young students: a cross-sectional study

Rev. invest. clín; 72 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) appear decades before developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adulthood. Objective: The objective of the study was to identify the prevalence and association between CMRFs and kidney function in apparently healthy young adults (18-25 years ol...

Association of serum levels of secreted frizzled-related protein 5 and Wnt member 5a with glomerular filtration rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease: a cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 138 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). ­Inflammation in the kidneys is crucial for promoting development and progression of this complication. Wnt member 5a (Wnt5a) and secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5) are proinflammatory proteins...

Chronic kidney disease is a main confounding factor for 25-vitamin D measurement

J. bras. nefrol; 42 (1), 2020
Abstract Background: Current guidelines recommend assessment of 25-vitamin D status in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although significant differences among assays have been described, the impact of CKD on this variability has never been tested. Methods: We tested the variability between t...

Does Cystatin C have a role as metabolic surrogate in peritoneal dialysis beyond its association with residual renal function?

J. bras. nefrol; 42 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Introduction: It has been suggested that cystatin C levels are modified by obesity and inflammation. Furthermore, cystatin C has been associated with cardiovascular events and mortality outcomes. Aim: To study the association of cystatin C with the metabolic profile and cardiovascular disease ...

Role of preoperative MR volumetry in patients with renal cell carcinoma for prediction of postoperative renal function after radical nephrectomy and nephron sparing surgery

Int. braz. j. urol; 46 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose Preoperative computed tomography or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are commonly used for radiological evaluation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) before radical nephrectomy or nephron sparing surgery(NSS).
