Effect of timing of renal replacement therapy on outcomes of critically ill patients in the intensive care unitNephrology - Tập 23 Số 5 - Trang 405-410 - 2018
Yanli Jia, Li Jiang, Ying Wen, Meiping Wang, Xiuming Xi, Bin Du
AbstractAimCurrently, indications for renal replacement therapy (RRT) remain
controversial. Whether early RRT can improve the prognosis of critically ill
patients in the ICU is unclear. This study aimed to assess the relationship
between timing of RRT initiation and short‐term prognosis of patients in the
ICU.MethodsThis was a retrospective study of data obtained from 28 hospitals in
Beijing. The ... hiện toàn bộ
Low‐density lipoprotein subfraction profiles in dialysis patientsNephrology - Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 169-177 - 1997
Andrew Bofinger, Justin Westhuyzen, David Saltissi, Colleen Morgan, Helen Healy
Summary: Uraemic dyslipidaemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease
in end‐stage renal failure patients. In patients without renal failure, high
levels and qualitative abnormalities of low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) are known
to be atherogenic. Recently, LDL subfraction analysis has associated premature
coronary artery disease with a high prevalence of small, dense LDL particles

Review: Membranes for haemodialysisNephrology - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 381-385 - 2010
Peter G. Kerr, Louis Huang
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

Incidence of end‐stage renal disease in overseas‐born, compared with Australian‐born, non‐indigenous AustraliansNephrology - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 247-252 - 2004
John H. Stewart, Margaret McCredie, Stephen McDonald
SUMMARY:Background: Barriers to immigration from non‐European sources were
relaxed in the 1970s. As a result, more Australians are now of Middle Eastern,
Asian or Pacific Islander origin, rather than British or European. Currently,
overseas‐born persons comprise one‐third of non‐indigenous Australians with
end‐stage renal disease (ESRD).Methods: Using data recorded by the Australia
and New Zeal... hiện toàn bộ
Interpreting incidence trends for treated end‐stage renal disease: Implications for evaluating disease control in AustraliaNephrology - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 238-246 - 2004
John H. Stewart, Margaret McCredie, Sheila Williams, Stephen McDonald
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... hiện toàn bộ
Does elevation of serum creatinine in patients with chronic hepatitis C under therapy of telaprevir mean renal impairment?Nephrology - Tập 20 Số 11 - Trang 843-848 - 2015
Katsuomi Matsui, Atsuko Kamijo‐Ikemori, Takeshi Sugaya, Hiroki Ikeda, Chiaki Okuse, Yugo Shibagaki, Takashi Yasuda, Kenjiro Kimura
AbstractAimTreatment with telaprevir (TVR) entails adverse side‐effects
including anaemia and elevation of serum creatinine (SCr) level. Our purpose was
to evaluate the effects of treatment with TVR on renal function in adults with
chronic hepatitis C.MethodsThirteen adult patients with HCV genotype 1b who were
scheduled to be treated with TVR, pegylated interferon (PEG IFN), and ribavirin
(RBV) w... hiện toàn bộ
Osteocalcin as a biochemical marker of bone turnoverNephrology - Tập 4 Số 5-6 - Trang 339-346 - 1998
Dorota Polak−Jonkisz, Danuta Zwołińska
SUMMARY: Osteocalcin is a calcium‐binding bone protein whose blood
concentrations are correlated with bone synthesis and resorption. the level of
blood osteocalcin is determined by several factors. Laboratory monitoring of
blood osteocalcin is helpful in patient diagnosis and managment. This study
presents the known biosynthesis of osteocalcin and its role as an index of bone
turnover.
Mechanism of valproic acid‐induced Fanconi syndrome involves mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in rat kidneyNephrology - Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 351-361 - 2018
Reza Heidari, Faezeh Jafari, Forouzan Khodaei, Babak Shirazi Yeganeh, Hossein Niknahad
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... hiện toàn bộ

Peptide 17 alleviates early hypertensive renal injury by regulating the Hippo/YAP signalling pathwayNephrology - Tập 27 Số 8 - Trang 712-723 - 2022
San‐Bin Xu, Bin Xu, Zhi‐Heng Ma, Mei‐Qin Huang, Z.Q. GAO, Jian‐Li Ni
AbstractAimHypertensive nephropathy is embodied by kidney tissue fibrosis and
glomerular sclerosis, as well as renal inflammation. The Hippo/YAP
(yes‐associated protein, YAP) axis has been reported to promote inflammation and
fibrosis and may participate in the pathogenesis of heart, vascular and renal
injuries. However, the role of the Hippo/YAP pathway in hypertensive renal
injury has not been r... hiện toàn bộ
