OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the relation of serum Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF-23), Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1) levels with progression and mortality rates of patients wi...

Abstract Background Hypoxia is a key driver of fibrosis and is associated with capillary rarefaction in humans. Objectives Characterize capillary rarefaction in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Animals Archival ki...

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...

ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CDK) is the condition most frequently diagnosed in nephrology in dogs. CDK is progressive and irreversible, but the patient can be treated to decrease the rate of progression and improve ...

Background: As populations age and hypertension prevalence rises, the burden of hypertension-attributable chronic kidney disease (CKD) keeps aggregating and varies across regions. A systematic assessment of how disease b...

Background: Carbon footprint quantification currently stands as the most accepted model for assessing the ecological impact of human activities.Selecting the most environmentally friendly treatment for pathologies arisin...

Since anemia is indicated as an important compromising factor for the quality of life of dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD), bone marrow cytological analysis may provide more information...

Background Urine protein loss is common in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate new biomarkers of glomerular and tubulointerstitial (TI) damage compared with histology and as survival...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. HCV infection is associated with some glomerular disease. It also has a high incidence in patie...

Objective: Mineral bone disorders due to chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) in children occur as a result of decreased glomerular filtration rate and abnormalities in phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D...

Abstract Background There are no known treatments that halt or reverse chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats. In rodent models, stem cell treatment has been associated with improvement in renal function parameters, especi...

ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common sequela of ureteral obstruction, but many cats are non‐azotemic after subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) placement. Objectives Compare CKD progression rates ...

Abstract Background The correlation between renal dimensions and renal function in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. Hypothesis/Objectives To investigate the relationship between renal dimensions and CKD...

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate the changes of the oxidant and antioxidant systems in chronic kidney disease patients who had increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the present study. PATIENTS and METHODS...

<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Magnesium is an essential mineral for many metabolic functions. There is very little information on the effect of magnesium supplementation on metabolic profiles of ...

Gluteal compartment syndrome is a rare reason of rhabdomyolysis resulting from atraumatic origin, and leading to renal failure. Beside to other atraumatic causes like drug abuse, alcohol intoxication, and antihyperlipide...

The global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rapidly increasing with a projection of becoming the 5th most common cause of years of life lost globally by 2040. Aggravatingly, CKD is a major cause of catastrophic ...

Objective: The incidence of chronic kidney diseases increases in older individuals, like all other chronic diseases. Renal biopsy provides important guidance in the diagnosis of many kidney diseases. The impact of biopsy...

Abstract Background Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin is routinely measured as a pregnancy marker in women of reproductive age prior to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Although a positive result commonly ...

Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic, and its prevalence has been projected to grow by 40% in the next decade. This increasing prevalence has implications for the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and also for ...

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...

Chronic Kidney Disease affects approximately 10% of the world’s adult population: it is within the top 20 causes of death worldwide, and its impact on patients and their families can be devastating. World Kidney Day an...

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...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low FT3 levels on CKD progression and hyperkalemia in euthyroid patients with solitary kidney. MATERIAL and METHODS: Seventy-six solitary kidney outpat...
