Conflicting data have reported beneficial effects of crystalloids, hyper-oncotic albumin (20%ALB), and iso-oncotic (5%ALB) in critically ill patients. Although may minimize lung injury, recent studies shown that human lead to kidney damage proportional concentration. In this context, we compared the Ringer's lactate (RL), 20%ALB, 5%ALB, all titrated according similar hemodynamic goals, on pulmonary function, histology, molecular biology experimental acute injury (ALI). Male Wistar rats...
Background: There is widespread debate regarding the use of albumin in ischemic stroke. We tested hypothesis that an iso-oncotic solution (5%), administered earlier after acute stroke (3 hours), could provide neuroprotection without causing kidney damage, compared to a hyper-oncotic (20%) and saline. Objective: To compare effects saline, albumin, all titrated similar hemodynamic targets, on brain kidney. Methods: Ischemic was induced anesthetized male Wistar rats (n=30; weight 437±68g) by...
Spontaneous outcomes of percutaneous biopsy-related arteriovenous fistulas in renal allografts instead embolization are reported by describing two cases postbiopsy fistula followed color Doppler sonography (CDS). One patient developed gross hematuria, but no intervention was required. application showed spontaneous resolution both later the with hematuria. Both support close observation, including CDS, as another alternative to early embolization.
Abstract Spontaneous rupture of the patellar (PTR) and quadriceps (QTR) tendon is infrequent. Systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, CKD, secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) are risk factors. The present cohort study aimed to evaluate factors associated with in hemodialysis (HD) patients SHPT, well outcomes including surgical complications, re-ruptures, fracture. Baseline clinical, laboratorial data, radiographs were analyzed. Patients followed up from March 2012 2020. One-hundred...
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has emerged as an important tool for examining critically ill patients. POCUS devices have become progressively smaller and more accessible, transforming medical practice reducing costs. One technological breakthrough was the development of ultraportable scanners with microchip technology, which utilize a probe connected to smartphone or tablet incorporate mobile application that employs artificial intelligence assist in interpretation acquired images.
<title>Abstract</title> Background There is growing evidence that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) show a high risk of acquiring latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) or developing active TB. However, diagnosing LTBI still challenge based on current tests which reflect the cellular immunity against <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic> – may be compromised in this population. Herein, we evaluated prevalence among CKD and those routine hemodialysis, predictors. Methods A...
A injuria renal aguda (IRA) e uma complicacao grave no contexto cirurgico, associando-se a elevacao de custos desfechos clinicos adversos, em curto longo prazos,. Ademais, sua etiologia multifacetada fisiopatologia complexa desafia adocao medidas preventivas universais. identificacao fatores riscos especificos para IRA perioperatoria essencial o desenvolvimento estrategias adequadas prevencao tratamento. Alguns fatores, como idade, raca, obesidade doencas preexistentes, nao sao modificaveis....
