Digital radiography as an alternative method in the evaluation of bone density in uremic rats

J. bras. nefrol; 42 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Introduction: Digital radiography (DRx) may provide a suitable alternative to investigate mineral and bone disorder (MBD) and loss of bone density (BD) in rodent models of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of this study was to use DRx to evaluate BD in CKD rats, and to evaluate the co...

In vitro effect of uremic serum on barrier function and inflammation in human colonocytes

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), it has been suggested that alterations within the gut are associated with an inflammatory state and uremic toxicity. Studies suggest that uremia may impair the function of the intestinal barrier via the promotion of increased intestinal permeabilit...

Biomarkers of cardio-renal syndrome in uremic myocardiopathy animal model

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Cardio-renal syndrome subtype 4 (CRS4) is a condition of primary chronic kidney disease that leads to reduction of cardiac function, ventricular hypertrophy, and risk of cardiovascular events. Objective: Our aim was to understand the mechanisms involved on the onset of CRS4. Meth...

Níveis basais das gonadotrofinas (LH e FSH), prolactina e testosterona em pacientes urêmicos mantidos em hemodiálise
Basal levels of gonadotropin (LH and FSH), prolactin and testosterone in uremic patients mantained in hemodialysis

Avaliaram-se os níveis de LH, FSH, PRL e T em 24 pacientes urêmicos mantidos em hemodiálise. Observaram-se níveis elevados de LH e PRL em 64 e 67% dos pacientes, respectivamente, com níveis normais de FSH em 20% dos pacientes e níveis baixos de T em apenas 8% dos pacientes. Concluiu-se que níveis ...
