OBJECTIVES: Renal transplantation with multiple arteries is technically demanding and carries higher risk of vascular and urological complications. The aim of this study is to review graft outcomes and surgical complic...

OBJECTIVE: Proteinuria is an important marker that accelerates chronic kidney disease. Known antiproteinuric treatments are not always sufficient. In recent years, animal studies have shown that vitamin D has positive ef...

BackgroundRecurrent acute kidney injury (rAKI) is a common complication among critically ill patients and is associated with progressive renal deterioration and increased long-term morbidity. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA)...

Abstract Objective To assess maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies after kidney transplantation in a tertiary center in Brazil. Methods Retrospective cohort of pregnancies in women with kidney transplantatio...

Abstract Objectives To investigate the clinical value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) driven multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating split renal function in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patie...

Abstract Background High rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are well recognised in Australia’s Indigenous people, but kidney replacement therapy (KRT) registrations give an incomplete view of disease burden and outc...

Chronic kidney disease can be defined as chronic and progressive deterioration of the regulation of fluid-solute balance and metabolic-endocrine functions of the kidney due to diminishing glomerular filtration. Inflammat...

Objective: Several studies have shown that local renin–angiotensin system (RAS) activity in the kidneys may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and kidney damage in patients with chronic kidney disease. In ...

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide. Smoking affects all systems of the organism. Smoking stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, increases blood pressure and albuminuria, and decreases renal f...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients and to evaluate RIFLE criteria in critically ill patients. Prospective observational study. MATERIAL and METHOD...

To investigate the influence of probiotic supplementation on parameters of renal function, dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD) received a commercial probiotic formulation containing Enterococcus lactis SF68 (n = 8...

OBJECTIVES: The routine use of a ureteric stent remains controversial due to high incidence of its complications. In our routine practice, we prefer selective stenting of problematic anastomoses. The aim of this study is...

Combined heart-kidney transplantation is an accepted therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart disease associated with severely impaired renal function. In literature there is not a consensus about the long te...

OBJECTIVE: Chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorder (CKD -BMD) is a worldwide challenge in hemodialysis patients (HD). Widespread use and improved methods of HD may have changed the spectrum of locomotor system...

OBJECTIVE: Stem cells may be involved in the repair processes of renal tissues during various disorders. We aimed to search the presence of recipient originated cells in renal allograft tissues from patients with various...

PURPOSE: Kidney transplantation is the preferred therapy for end-stage renal failure patients due to its advantages of improving survival and life quality. The aim of this study was to present the clinical and laboratory...

Abstract Background The ingestion of grapes or raisins has been reported to cause acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs, with a clinical picture dominated by early gastrointestinal signs and rapidly developing uremia. Ataxia...

Background: Hyperuricemia (HUA) is caused by purine metabolism dysregulation or impaired uric acid (UA) excretion. Its global prevalence has increased, particularly among younger populations. Edible dock protein (EDP) po...

Thrombotic microangiopathy is a pathological condition caused by several factors including drugs, and characterized by endothelial injury and small vessel occlusion. It may cause severe acute kidney injury. Everolimus, a...

Key Points. Quantifying albuminuria 3 months after AKI predicts future risk of kidney disease progression but is often not completed. In a cohort of 554 patients with CKD, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio measured withi...

Background: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), derived from serum creatinine (eGFRcr) or cystatin C (eGFRcys), is crucial for assessing kidney function and predicting health outcomes. While eGFRcr is known ...

Abstract Background The coexistence of renal artery stenosis (RAS) and acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) is exceptionally rare. While imaging studies are essential for diagnosing RAS, noninvasive tests such as re...

Abstract BackgroundHealth and health care systems are progressively challenged by more frequent natural and human-caused hazards. A hazard becomes a disaster when vulnerability and exposure interact in comple...

Some 25 years after its founding as a marine laboratory in 1898 by Tufts University, The Mt. Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) became a center for advances in renal physiology for the next 90 years. Populated b...
