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...

Microcirculatory changes as a hallmark of aging in the heart and kidney

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Changes in the microcirculation of multiple tissues and organs have been implicated as a possible mechanism in physiological aging. In particular, vascular endothelial growth factor is a secretory protein responsible for regulating angiogenesis via altering endothelial proliferation, survival, m...

Effects of Plasma-Lyte® and 0. 9% saline in renal function after deceased-donor kidney transplant: a randomized controlled trial

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (6), 2022
Abstract Background The influence of different crystalloid solutions infused during deceased-donor kidney transplant on the incidence of delayed graft function remains unclear. We investigated the influence of Plasma-Lyte® vs. 0.9% saline on the incidence of delayed graft function in deceased-donor kid...

Impact of colloids or crystalloids in renal function assessed by NGAL and KIM-1 after hysterectomy: randomized controlled trial

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (6), 2022
Abstract Background Hydroxyethyl starches are colloids used in fluid therapy that may reduce volume infusion compared with crystalloids, but they can affect renal function in critical care patients. This study aims to assess renal effects of starches using renal biomarkers in the perioperative setting. ...

Evaluating TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 as a predictive tool for kidney injury in ureteropelvic junction obstruction

Int. braz. j. urol; 48 (2), 2022
ABSTRACT A major challenge in the management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the selection of patients who would benefit from surgical treatment. Tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) indicate renal cell stress and are asso...

Benefits of water intake on kidney function in older adults: protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the benefits of an increase in water intake guided by a mathematical formula (per kg of body weight) on kidney function in older adults. Methods: Older adults (≥ 65 years old) cared for at the Internal Medicine Unit of a tertiary hospital will be randomi...

Biomarkers of renal function in preterm neonates at 72 h and 3 weeks of life

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 97 (5), 2021
Abstract Objective: Serum levels of creatinine in neonates are quite variable and suffer interference from the immature kidney and maternal creatinine concentration. The aim of this study was to measure novel biomarkers of glomerular and tubular function in healthy preterm neonates at 72 h and 3 weeks o...

Comparative analysis of kidney transplant costs related to recovery of renal function after the procedure

J. bras. nefrol; 43 (3), 2021
Abstract Introduction: The number of kidney transplants (KTx) is increasing in Brazil and, consequently, the costs of this procedure increase the country's health budget. We retrospectively evaluated the data of kidney transplant procedures until hospital discharge, according to kidney function recovery...

Síndrome cardiorrenal tipo 1 em região de baixo desenvolvimento: comparação entre os critérios akin e kdigo, necessidade de diálise e mortalidade

Arq. bras. cardiol; 117 (2), 2021
Resumo Fundamento: A síndrome cardiorrenal tipo 1 associa-se a maior mortalidade em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca (IC). No entanto, há escassez de publicações comparando critérios diagnósticos de lesão renal aguda (LRA). Objetivos: Analisar o perfil clinicofuncional de pacientes com IC ...
