Background and objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has recently assumed epidemic proportion, becoming a troubling emerging cause of morbidity, especially if it progresses to terminal stage (ESRD). The authors aimed evaluate whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), novel specific biomarker acute injury, could predict the progression CKD. Design, setting, participants, & measurements: Serum urinary NGAL levels, together with series putative factors, were evaluated in...
Previous studies have suggested the benefits of physical exercise for patients on dialysis. We conducted Exercise Introduction to Enhance Performance in Dialysis trial, a 6-month randomized, multicenter trial test whether simple, personalized walking program at home, managed by dialysis staff, improves functional status adult The main study outcomes included change performance 6 months, assessed 6-minute and five times sit-to-stand test, quality life, Kidney Disease Quality Life Short Form...
Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare, salt-losing tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. The disease recessively inherited, caused inactivating mutations in the SLC12A3 gene that encodes thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC). GS usually detected during adolescence or adulthood, either fortuitously association mild nonspecific symptoms both. high phenotypic variability significant reduction quality of life, it may be...
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Renal tubulointerstitium plays an important role in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. <i>Methods:</i> With present study, we aimed at evaluating levels neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a tubular stress protein, serum (sNGAL) urine (uNGAL) from cohort 56 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus categorized into three groups (normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria nephropathy). <i>Results:</i> All...
It is known that many tubular proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which causes 8-10% cases end-stage renal (ESRD) worldwide. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) a protein expressed on cells production markedly increased response to harmful stimuli such as ischemia or toxicity. In present study, serum and urinary NGAL levels were evaluated 26 ADPKD subjects. Both significantly higher patients than controls (sNGAL 174...
Diabetes mellitus is becoming increasingly prevalent and considered a rapidly growing concern for healthcare systems.Besides the cardiovascular complications, diabetes associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD).CKD in patients can be caused by true diabetic nephropathy, but also indirectly diabetes, e.g.due to polyneuropathic bladder dysfunction, increased incidence of relapsing urinary tract infections or macrovascular angiopathy.However, many who develop CKD due cause other than will may...
Altered vitamin D metabolism and low levels of the active form this vitamin, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, is a hallmark chronic kidney disease (CKD), but there still no randomized controlled trial testing effect forms on vascular function in patients with CKD.
