A associação de rim em ferradura com aneurisma de aorta abdominal é rara, estando presente em apenas 0,12% dos pacientes submetidos a tratamento dos aneurismas de aorta abdominal. Este des...

Tomar mate previo a la flebotomía no interfiere en las pruebas bioquímicas de rutina

En este estudio se evaluó el efecto de tomar mate en las pruebas bioquímicas de rutina. Se extrajo sangre a 32 mujeres voluntarias luego de 12 horas de ayuno y a la hora (T1), dos horas (T2) y tres horas (T3) posteriores a la toma de 5 mates. Se estudiaron parámetros hematológicos y analitos de quím...

EQA-based evaluation of metrological traceability of clinical chemistry test results in Argentina

Equivalence of results among laboratories is a major mission for medical laboratories. In the Netherlands, medical laboratories only use homogenous, commercial for general chemistry analytes, whereas in Argentina heterogenous, home brew test applications are common. The effect of this practice difference...

Kidney transplantation with donors in severe acute kidney injury. Should we use these organs? Retrospective Case Series

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Introduction: The number of incident and prevalent patients on dialysis has increased, as well as the number of candidates for renal transplantation in Brazil, without a proportional increase in the number of organ donors. The use of expanded kidneys, as to renal function, may be an alternative...

Zinc alpha 2 glycoprotein as an early biomarker of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (4), 2019
Abstract Introduction: Although microalbuminuria remains the gold standard for early detection of diabetic nephropathy (DN), it is not a sufficiently accurate predictor of DN risk. Thus, new biomarkers that would help to predict DN risk earlier and possibly prevent the occurrence of end-stage kidney dis...

Simultaneous use of oxalate-degrading bacteria and herbal extract to reduce the urinary oxalate in a rat model: A new strategy

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (6), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: Urinary stones with oxalate composition can cause kidney failure. Recent findings evidenced that probiotics are effective in reducing oxalate absorption in these subjects based on their high colonic absorption levels at baseline. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect o...

Is hypoalbuminemia a predictor for acute kidney injury after coronary bypass grafting in diabetes mellitus patients?

Abstract Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most important complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. Serum albumin, which is an acute phase reactant, is suggested to be associated with AKI development subsequent to various surgical procedures. In this study, w...

Reserva funcional renal: concepto y aplicabilidad potencial en la práctica clínica

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (10), 2019
Renal functional reserve (RFR) is the capacity of the kidney to increase its glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in response to physiological or pathological stimuli. The most commonly used stimuli to assess this reserve are an oral load of proteins of animal origin, amino acid infusions, dopamine, glucagon...

Estimación de la tasa de filtración glomerular en adultos mayores mediante las ecuaciones CKD-EPI
Estimate of the glomerular filtration rate in aged adults through the CKD-EPI equations

Medisan; 23 (5), 2019
Introducción: La tasa de filtración glomerular se considera el mejor índice para evaluar la función renal, ya que su reducción aparece mucho antes que cualquier manifestación clínica derivada de la disfunción renal. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal de 9...
