Abstract Salt‐sensitive hypertension is a major risk factor for renal impairment leading to chronic kidney disease. High‐salt diet leads hypertonic skin interstitial volume retention enhancing the activation of tonicity‐responsive enhancer‐binding protein (TonEBP) within macrophages vascular endothelial growth C (VEGF‐C) secretion and NOS3 modulation. This promotes lymphangiogenesis blood pressure regulation. Whether VEGF‐C administration enhances attenuates damage in salt‐sensitive remains...
Gabapentin and doxepin are well-known treatments of uremic pruritus in hemodialysis patients but no head-to-head studies were conducted to date. The aim this trial is compare the efficacy tolerability gabapentin treatment patients. A single-blind crossover randomized was that included with pruritus. Patients receive 10 mg daily or 100 for 4 weeks two groups treated conversely another after a 4-week washout period. Eighty-five screened eligibility. Thirty-one met inclusion criteria four...
This prospective study reports the design and results obtained after EMPODaT project implementation. was funded by Tempus programme of European Commission with objective to implement a common postgraduate on organ donation transplantation (ODT) in six selected universities from Middle East/North Africa (MENA) countries (Egypt, Lebanon Morocco). The consortium, coordinated University Barcelona, included Spain, Germany, Sweden France. first phase perform an analysis current situation...
Background: Intradialytic hypertension is identified as an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcome in hemodialysis patients. Little known about its pathophysiological mechanism. Objective: The aim this study to provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying arterial pressure dysregulation. Methods: 62 subjects on chronic were included study. Blood was monitored before, during and following each dialysis session for a 3-month period. Pre- post-dialysis blood samples drawn from...
Intradialytic Hypotension is a major complication during hemodialysis session, associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Its pathophysiology believed to be multifactorial remains not well elucidated. The aim this study put forward new mechanisms behind the development intradialytic hypotension. included sixty-five subjects on chronic hemodialysis, divided into two groups: hypotensive (n=12) normotensive (n=53), according variation systolic blood pressure between...
Hepatitis A is a common viral infection worldwide that transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Since introduction of an efficient vaccine, incidence has decreased but number cases risen due to widespread community outbreaks among unimmunized individuals. Classic symptoms include fever, malaise, dark urine, and jaundice, are more in older children adults. People often most infectious 14 days prior 7 following onset jaundice. We will discuss case young male patient, diagnosed with acute...
Abstract Background: Aldosterone-induced glomerular hyper-filtration leads to masked renal dysfunction and profound hypokalemia which will affect the outcome post adrenalectomy. Description of case: We report a case middle-aged man presenting for Primary Aldosteronism, managed by unilateral adrenalectomy, complicated acute kidney injury hyperkalemia, treated initially intravenous hydration then Fludrocortisone as maintenance therapy. Patient has noticeably improved. Conclusion:...
