Key Points. Health care utilization rates in elderly kidney transplant were no different between the high kidney donor profile index and low kidney donor profile index group. Number of readmissions and surgical intervent...

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...

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by structural and functional impairments in the kidneys, affecting around 10–15% of the global population. Kidney transplantation from l...

Key Points. Physiological normothermic machine perfusion kept kidneys viable for 12 hours with better hemodynamics, urine output, and metabolic stability than clinical normothermic machine perfusion. Physiological normot...

Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is a disorder that causes necrotizing granulomatosis vasculitis particularly of the upper respiratory tract, lung and kidney. A 43-year-old male who had been treated with hemodialysis beca...

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...

Liver and kidney, as the core metabolic detoxification organs of human body, rely on specific biofilm barrier and metabolic enzyme system to form metabolic barrier respectively. This metabolic barrier is the key defense ...

Key Points. Approximately half of people on maintenance hemodialysis exhibited impairment on a standardized, performance-based assessment of functional cognition. The functional cognitive test correlated strongly with a ...

Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder frequently accompanied by multisystem involvement, with increasing concern regarding its association with renal impairment. The advent and widespread use of biolog...

Abstract Background Localised renal cell carcinoma is treated with radical nephrectomy (RN) or partial nephrectomy (PN). Nephron-sparing PN increases preservation of renal function, reducing incidence of end stage renal ...

Abstract Background Bronchial asthma is a prevalent long-term respiratory condition in children. It is characterized by chronic airway inflammation. Asthma patients have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease...

The N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is released in response to volume expansion and/or increased tension on cardiac ventricular myocytes. In non-uremic patients, NT-pro-BNP is a useful diagnostic an...

The shortage of available organs is the limiting factor for kidney transplantation (Ktx). One of the strategies to increase access to Ktx is the use of non-heart beating (NHB) donors. We herein present a successful Ktx f...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic treatment with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on renal function, nitric oxide (NO) system, oxidative stress, collagen content and apoptosis in ...

Abstract Background ATF3 was found to play a complex role in various cancers; however, its systematic function in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and across pan-cancer contexts remained incompletely understood. ...

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs has a high case fatality rate. Diltiazem might improve renal function, but effect of intravenous infusion has not been adequately studied in dogs. Hypothesis/Objectiv...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease and death. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a serious public health problem because of its associated morbidity, mortality, and health care cos...

OBJECTIVE: Although BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) has mostly been reported to occur in transplanted kidneys, there has been a gradual increase in cases of BKVN in the native kidney. This study was directed towards investig...

This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of interventional therapy for transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS). A total of 30 TRAS patients who underwent interventional treatment between February 2017 and September 20...

The elderly are a fast growing population in the world, and they have a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease. The function of the kidney changes markedly with age. The glomerular fi ltration rate falls progressively...

Complement activation significantly contributes to the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Recent studies have shown that renal levels of the complement component 3 (C3) and its receptor (C3aR) increase with di...

BackgroundChronic kidney disease involves progressive fibrosis and immune dysregulation. Aprotinin, a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor, has shown dose-dependent renal effects, but its role in obstructive nephropa...

Proximal ureteric injuries are most severe complication of ureterorenoscopic procedures. Most patients with severe proximal ureteric injuries have good renal function and wish to protect their kidney. We report a 40-year...

Kidney diseases, related to high morbidity and mortality, are one of the diseases that should be primarily investigated. Development of acute and chronic kidney diseasesis due to lack of functioning renal repair mechan...
