Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid decline (i.e., within hours and days) of renal function. Long-term thirst due to fasting may cause a decrease in both the intravascular volume and kidney p...

We described the clinical course of 4 patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in whom kidney function improvement was delayed because of concomitant hypothyroidism. After initiating thyroid hormone replacement therapy, t...

Abstract Background Developing regenerative therapies to restore kidney function in patients with progressive renal disease represents a major challenge for modern molecular nephrology. Kidney organoids, three-dimensiona...

In our country, kidney donors are usually elder relatives of patients. It's possible that these kidneys may have histopathological findings related to aging and causes the complexicity at kidney functions after transplan...

Abstract Objective Acute kidney disease (AKD) describes acute or subacute renal damage and/or loss of kidney function between 7 and 90 days after AKI initiation. Because there are few reports on AKD in older patients, t...

In addition to its role on calcium homeostasis, vitamin D exhibits local (paracrine) effects on cell proliferation differentiation and immune function. Most cells in the body express Vitamin D receptors and 1α-hydroxyla...

Crystal nephropathy is defined as acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by the intratubular precipitation of crystals, which results in obstruction. We report here two cases of AKI associated with crystal nephropathy. The fir...

Rhabdomyolysis develops due to skeletal muscle cell damage. One of the most important complications of rhabdomyolysis is acute kidney injury. Herein, we present a case found to have normal renal function at first hospita...

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been developed for the treatment of hypogammaglobulinemia and is also used for many systemic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Acute kidney injury is a rare complication of the ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to closely follow up renal functions in patients for a period of 100 days after hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation in order to be able to determine the incidence, possibl...

Chronic kidney disease has become a global pandemic, with its burden felt mostly in developing countries where there is a deficiency or outright lack of policy and funding for chronic kidney disease prevention and treatm...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with malignancies may develop autoimmune and rheumatic manifestations as a result of generation of autoantibodies, paraneoplastic syndromes, direct invasion of joints and muscles by the tumour cells, ...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in patients with endstage renal disease. Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) is increased in conditions associated with increased risk of atheroscler...

Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to the accumulation of fatty acids and excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultimately resulting in impaired energy production. Carnitine is essential for transporting...

OBJECTIVE: Kidney damage after cardiac surgery can cause acute renal failure, increase the morbidity and mortality, and prolong the hospital stay. Various methods have therefore been used to prevent renal failure. One of...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) experience an improvement in physical activity, quality of life and functional status as a result of exercise training...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare depression, anxiety and quality of life in kidney transplant patients with normal population and to evaluate mental well-being. MATERIAL and METHODS: One hundred renal transplan...

OBJECTIVE: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice in end-stage renal diseases. Long-term allograft function has remained steady in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKTx) during recent decades. In this st...

BackgroundCisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a severe, dose-limiting nephrotoxicity affecting up to 30% of patients. Emerging evidence highlights ferroptosis—an iron-dependent form of regulated cell deat...

Alterations of gut microbiota composition and function in CKD may be due to ureamic state, metabolic acidosis, slow colonic transit, dietary restrictions and pharmacological therapies. These alterations induce microbial ...

Abstract Background Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is classically defined by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury (AKI) and is most often associated with renal thromb...

We have studied the effects of naringin (NAR), a flavonoid from citric fruits, on morphology, ultrastructure and function of the kidney in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Two groups of animals were used: (1) ...

Abstract Background We report a type 2 diabetes mellitus patient with clinical and laboratory features of nephrotic syndrome. Pathohistological findings of the biopsy revealed idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Case pres...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication affecting many hospitalized patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. AKI seldom occurs as isolated organ failure; much more often it emerges ...
