Review: The role of microRNAs in kidney disease
Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 599-608 - 2010
ABSTRACTMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non‐coding RNAs that modulate physiological
and pathological processes by inhibiting target gene expression via blockade of
protein translation or by inducing mRNA degradation. These miRNAs potentially
regulate the expression of thousands of proteins. As a result, miRNAs have
emerged rapidly as a major new area of biomedical research with relevance to
kidney di...
Medicinal herbal extracts – renal friend or foe? Part one: The toxicities of medicinal herbs
Tập 9 Số 5 - Trang 313-318 - 2004
SUMMARY:In recent years, an increasing percentage of people from industrialized
countries have been using complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). This,
combined with numerous warnings regarding the potential toxicity of these
therapies, suggests the need for practitioners to keep abreast of the reported
incidence of renal toxicity caused by the ingestion of medicinal herbs. The goal
of the ...
Mechanism of valproic acid‐induced Fanconi syndrome involves mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in rat kidney
Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 351-361 - 2018
AbstractAimDrug‐induced kidney proximal tubular injury and renal failure
(Fanconi syndrome; FS) is a clinical complication. Valproic acid (VPA) is among
the FS‐inducing drugs. The current investigation was designed to evaluate the
role of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in VPA‐induced renal
injury.MethodsAnimals received VPA (250 and 500 mg/kg, i.p., 15 consecutive
days). Serum biom...
Combining intra‐dialytic exercise and nutritional supplementation in malnourished older haemodialysis patients: Towards better quality of life and autonomy
Tập 21 Số 9 - Trang 785-790 - 2016
AbstractProtein‐energy wasting (PEW), defined as a loss of body protein mass and
fuel reserves, is a powerful predictor of adverse outcomes in haemodialysis (HD)
patients. Robust arguments suggest that intra‐dialytic exercise, combined with
oral/parenteral nutrition, enhances the effect of nutritional interventions in
HD patients. This pilot randomized controlled trial investigated the feasibility...
Myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody affinity is associated with the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps in the kidney and vasculitis activity in myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated microscopic polyangiitis
Tập 21 Số 7 - Trang 624-629 - 2016
AbstractAnti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is associated with
small‐vessel vasculitis particularly in the kidneys and can induce the formation
of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) from primed neutrophils. Recently we
have reported that the induction of NETs correlates with ANCA affinity for
myeloperoxidase (MPO) and disease activity in patients with MPO‐ANCA‐associated
microscopic pol...
Review: Membranes for haemodialysis
Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 381-385 - 2010
ABSTRACTHaemodialysis, by design, uses a semipermeable membrane to separate
blood from dialysate. The qualities of this membrane determine the nature of the
‘traffic’ between the blood and dialysate. In this sense, the qualities of the
membrane determine what size molecules move from one compartment to the other,
the amount and rate at which they might move and the amount and rate of water
movemen...
Relationship between sleep complaints and proinflammatory cytokines in haemodialysis patients
Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 330-335 - 2005
SUMMARY:Background: Sleep complaints are common in end‐stage renal disease. We
aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep‐related complaints and
inflammatory cytokines in haemodialysis (HD) patients, and also the effects of
HD on sleep patterns and cytokine levels.Methods: Predialysis serum
interleukin‐1beta (IL‐1β), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and tumour necrosis factor‐alpha
(TNF‐α) levels i...
Epidemiology of chronic kidney disease in Australian general practice: National Prescribing Service MedicineWise MedicineInsight dataset
Tập 24 Số 10 - Trang 1017-1025 - 2019
ABSTRACTAimTo describe sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities of a
large cohort of Australian general practice‐based patients identified as having
chronic kidney disease (CKD), using data from National Prescribing Service (NPS)
MedicineWise's MedicineInsight dataset, and compare this dataset to the
2011–2012 Australian Health Survey's (AHS) CKD prevalence estimates.MethodsThis
was a co...
Interpreting incidence trends for treated end‐stage renal disease: Implications for evaluating disease control in Australia
Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 238-246 - 2004
SUMMARY:Background: Five sources of change modify trends in incidence of
treated end‐stage renal disease (ESRD): (i) demography; (ii) disease control,
comprising prevention and treatment of progressive kidney disease; (iii)
competing risks, which encompass dying from untreated uraemia or non‐renal
comorbidity; (iv) lead‐time bias; and (v) classification bias. Thus, rising
crude incidence of treat...
Kidney damage after renal ablation is worsened in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (−/−) mice and improved by combined administration of L‐arginine and antioxidants
Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 218-227 - 2008
SUMMARY:Aim Reduction in nitric oxide (NO) levels during kidney failure has
been related to the reaction of NO with superoxide anions to yield peroxynitrite
which possesses the biological activity responsible for renal damage. However,
stimulation of the NO pathway ameliorates the progression of kidney failure.
Thus, it is unclear whether NO prevents or acts as the compound responsible for
the cy...
