Markers of uremia and pericardial effusion in peritoneal dialysis
(Springer, 2012-06-01)
Inadequate dialysis causes accumulation of toxic residues that may lead to the development of dialysis-associated pericardial effusion, but several other factors could be associated with this abnormality. The purpose of ...
Influence of educational level on myocardial hypertrophy of hemodialysis patients
(Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia, 2010-03-01)
Introduction: Chronic renal disease is associated with a high cardiovascular risk. Data from the general population associate cardiovascular diseases with low educational level, but no study has evaluated this association ...
Maior nível de atividade física associa-se a melhor função cognitiva em renais crônicos em hemodiálise
(Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia, 2012-12-01)
INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC) apresentam menor tolerância ao exercício e baixa capacidade funcional, o que os torna, via de regra, sedentários. Outra alteração importante encontrada na DRC é a disfunção ...
Leishmaniasis causes oxidative stress and alteration of oxidative metabolism and viability of neutrophils in dogs
(2013-09-30)
The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that oxidative stress and alteration of oxidative metabolism and apoptosis of neutrophils in dogs vary with the stage of leishmaniasis and to determine the contribution ...
Sleep pattern in an experimental model of chronic kidney disease
(Amer Physiological Soc, 2010-12-01)
Hirotsu C, Tufik S, Bergamaschi CT, Tenorio NM, Araujo P, Andersen ML. Sleep pattern in an experimental model of chronic kidney disease. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 299: F1379-F1388, 2010. First published September 8, 2010; ...
Diagnostic validation and prognostic significance of the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease patients
(Oxford Univ Press, 2015-05-01)
Malnutrition and inflammation are highly prevalent and intimately linked conditions in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients that lead to a state of protein-energy wasting (PEW), the severity of which can be assessed by ...
Neutrophil dysfunction varies with the stage of canine visceral leishmaniosis
(2013-09-01)
Canine visceral leishmaniosis (CVL) causes a dependent-stage alteration in neutrophil oxidative metabolism. When production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the antioxidant capacity of neutrophils, apoptosis is ...
Oxidative stress, superoxide production, and apoptosis of neutrophils in dogs with chronic kidney disease
(2013-04-01)
Oxidative stress is a key component in the immunosuppression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and neutrophil function may be impaired by oxidative stress. To test the hypothesis that in uremic dogs with CKD, oxidative ...
A randomized clinical trial of high volume peritoneal dialysis versus extended daily hemodialysis for acute kidney injury patients
(2013-06-01)
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis in critically ill patients is associated with an in-hospital mortality rate of 50-80 %. Extended daily hemodialysis (EHD) and high volume peritoneal dialysis (HVPD) ...
