Glomerular podocytes are known to regulate proteinuria and podocyturia correlated with proteinuria. Podocyturia, the urinary excretion of viable podocytes (glomerular epithelial cells), has been associated with proteinuria in preeclampsia. This study is the first to investigate the time course alterations of podocyturia in patients with preeclampsia (11 cases) and normotensive pregnant wom...... hiện toàn bộ
Accelerated Progression of Calcific Aortic Stenosis in Dialysis PatientsS. Karger AG - Tập 94 Số 2 - Trang c40-c45
Vlado Perkovic, David Hunt, Siân Griffin, Moira du Plessis, Gavin J. Becker
<i>Background:</i> Abnormalities of the aortic valve occur with increased frequency in patients with renal failure and may contribute to the observed excess cardiovascular mortality. Little data exist on the rate at which aortic stenosis progresses in this patient group. <i>Methods:</i> A retrospective case-control study was designed to compare the rate of progressi...... hiện toàn bộ
Vascular Calcification in Chronic Renal FailureS. Karger AG - Tập 93 Số 4 - Trang c124-c130
Charles Tomson
The prevalence and extent of vascular calcification (VC) increases rapidly with time on dialysis. There is increasing evidence that medial calcification of conduit arteries, without intimal disease, is associated with important abnormalities of vascular compliance and increased risk of cardiovascular death. Coronary artery calcification is also common in end-stage renal disease, but furthe...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-Term Efficacy and Tolerability of Lanthanum Carbonate: Results from a 3-Year StudyS. Karger AG - Tập 102 Số 2 - Trang c61-c71
Alastair J. Hutchison, Bart Maes, Johan Vanwalleghem, G. Asmus, Mohamed Elfatih, Roland E. Schmieder, Wolfgang Backs, R. Jamar, Andre Vosskühler
<i>Background:</i> Control of serum phosphate over the long term is essential in patients with end-stage renal disease. Six-month and 2-year extensions to a 6-month study evaluated the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of the new phosphate binder lanthanum carbonate. <i>Methods:</i> Patients who participated in a 6-month, randomized trial comparing lanthan...... hiện toàn bộ
Efficacy, Tolerability, and Safety of Lanthanum Carbonate in Hyperphosphatemia: A 6-Month, Randomized, Comparative Trial versus Calcium CarbonateS. Karger AG - Tập 100 Số 1 - Trang c8-c19
Alastair J. Hutchison, Bart Maes, Johan Vanwalleghem, G. Asmus, Essam Hassan Eldrehmy, R. E. Schmieder, Wolfgang Backs, R. Jamar, Andre Vosskühler
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Hyperphosphatemia is an important clinical consequence of renal failure, and its multiple adverse systemic effects are associated with significantly increased risks of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Existing oral phosphate binders have not permitted control of serum phosphate within currently accepted guidelines. This study compares lantha...... hiện toàn bộ
Deficient Counseling on Physical Activity among NephrologistsS. Karger AG - Tập 116 Số 4 - Trang c330-c336
Cynthia Delgado, Kirsten L. Johansen
<i>Background:</i> An evaluation of exercise counseling practices among nephrologists in 2001 demonstrated few clinicians assessing patients’ levels of physical activity (PA) and counseling to increase activity. Recent Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) cardiovascular guidelines recommended that nephrologists counsel patients to increase PA. Our objective was to...... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical Trial Endpoints in Acute Kidney InjuryS. Karger AG - Tập 127 Số 1-4 - Trang 89-93
Frederic T. Billings, Andrew Shaw
The development and use of consensus criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis and the inclusion of recently identified markers of renal parenchymal damage as endpoints in clinical trials have improved the ability of physicians to compare the incidence and severity of AKI across patient populations, provided targets for testing new treatments, and may increase insight into the mecha...... hiện toàn bộ
