Evaluación de la función renal más allá del laboratorio: rol y desarrollo actual de la imagenología renal

Rev. méd. Chile; 151 (8), 2023
La evaluación de la función renal se realiza habitualmente a través de la estimación de la tasa de filtración glomerular y el análisis de la orina. La evaluación morfológica renal a través de una imagen permite complementar esta información. Sin embargo, muchas de las aplicaciones de las técni...

Correlación entre las ecuaciones para la estimación del filtrado glomerular (MDRD, CKD-EPI,) y la depuración de creatinina en orina de 24 horas en pacientes oncológicos

Demostrar la correlación entre las ecuaciones MDRD, CKD-EPI con la depuración de creatinina de 24 horas en pacientes oncológicos. Estudio transversal realizado en el Instituto Oncológico Nacional Dr Juan Tanca Marengo durante el periodo de tiempo comprendido entre el mes de agosto 2019 a agosto de 20...

Correlation between amyloid deposits affecting renal compartments and glomerular filtration rate during renal biopsy in a renal amyloidosis case series

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (6), 2020
Amyloidosis comprises a group of disorders that accumulate modified autologous proteins in organs, mainly the kidneys. Few studies have addressed the amyloid compartmental distribution and associated clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to present a case series of renal amyloidosis correlating hi...

Intercellular mediators in bone remodeling regulation in the experimental renal pathology

Actual. osteol; 15 (3), 2019
Bone metabolism disorders are characterized by an imbalance of bone resorption and formation in the bone remodeling process. Glucocorticoids that are used to treat kidney diseases exacerbate these disorders. P-selectin and galectin-3 are molecules involved in the sclerotic process in kidney, whereas bone...

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...

Efectos en la función renal de la suplementación de creatina con fines deportivos

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (5), 2019
Creatine supplements may transitorily rise serum creatinine levels and mimic a kidney disease. If its use is associated with a high protein diet, the resulting increase in blood urea nitrogen will increase the confusion. Since clinical laboratories usually inform the estimated glomerular filtration rate ...

Anti-interleukin-1 treatment among patients with familial Mediterranean fever resistant to colchicine treatment. Retrospective analysis

Säo Paulo med. j; 137 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Up to 5% of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) cases are unresponsive to colchicine, through resistance, side effects and toxicity. Anakinra is an alternative treatment for FMF patients whose disease remains uncontrolled with colchicine. We aimed to evaluate anti-interleukin-1 trea...

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: To identify the fetal stem cell (FSC) response to maternal renal injury with emphasis on renal integrity improvement and Y chromosome detection in damaged maternal kidney. Materials and Methods: Eight non-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic Sprague-Dawley rats were mated with G...

Autonomic and Renal Alterations in the Offspring of Sleep-Restricted Mothers During Late Pregnancy

Clinics; 71 (9), 2016
OBJECTIVES: Considering that changes in the maternal environment may result in changes in progeny, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sleep restriction during the last week of pregnancy on renal function and autonomic responses in male descendants at an adult age. METHODS: After c...
