Abstract Hypertension in dialysis patients (HTND) has a high prevalence, affecting at least 80% or more of patients, and its management the nephrology practice is heterogeneous often empirical. Knowing how to define, understand pathophysiology, diagnose, monitor treat with lifestyle changes, adjust antihypertensive drugs achieve recommended blood pressure (BP) target - reduce morbidity mortality requires specific knowledge approaches within contexts hemodialysis (HD) peritoneal (PD). This...
Insulin resistance is a common risk factor in chronic kidney disease patients contributing to the high cardiovascular burden, even absence of diabetes. Glucose-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions are thought intensify insulin due continuous glucose absorption from cavity. The aim our study was analyse effect substitution for icodextrin on non-diabetic PD multicentric randomized clinical trial. This multicenter, open-label with balanced randomization (1:1) and two parallel-groups....
Background: Our aim was to associate serum uric acid (UA) with muscle mass, strength and functional capacity in kidney transplant patients (KTPs). Methods: A cross-sectional study performed on 113 KTPs. The fat-free mass total appendicular were estimated by performing a bioelectrical impedance analysis. evaluated using the handgrip test (HGS) five times sit stand (5STS). 4 m walk short physical performance battery (SPPB). Results: Linear regression showed that UA levels positively associated...
Resumo A hipertensão arterial em pacientes diálise (HAD) tem alta prevalência, de pelo menos 80% ou mais, e seu manejo na prática do nefrologista ocorre forma heterogênea e, frequentemente, empírica. Saber definir, conhecer a fisiopatologia, diagnosticar, acompanhar tratar com mudanças no estilo vida, adequar os medicamentos anti-hipertensivos para alcançar meta pressão (PA) recomendada, vistas à redução da morbidade mortalidade, requerem conhecimentos abordagens específicos nos contextos...
Data on arterial stiffness in older populations, according to blood pressure (BP) levels, are scarce Brazil. The objective of this study was establish reference values for core measures stiffness, including carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (cf‐PWV) and aortic augmentation index (AIx), a cohort individuals with normotension (NT) hypertension. Cross‐sectional analysis performed applanation tonometry data from 1192 patients aged 60 years or older. authors classified their BP levels as having...
Systemic arterial hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease that frequently observed in populations with declining renal function. Initiation of replacement therapy at least partially decreases signs fluid overload; however, high blood pressure levels persist the majority patients after dialysis initiation. Hypervolemia due to water retention predisposes peritoneal (PD) and can clinically manifest several forms, including peripheral edema. The approaches detect...
There are doubts about whether the values obtained from Cockroft-Gault (Cl(CG)) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (GFR(MDRD)) formulas comparable to more traditional formula used obtain creatinine clearance a 24-hour urine collection (ClCr(m)), particularly patients with only one kidney. The present study aimed compare these individuals remaining kidney after previous nephrectomy (Nx) verify which estimated correlates closely ClCr(m). Thirty-six who had undergone Nx their renal...
Aim . To compare the values of central and brachial systemic blood pressure (SBP) between women men over 60 years age with arterial hypertension. Methods This study was a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional elderly patients admitted to selected from spontaneous scheduled demand at basic health units in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, March 2013 2014. We included 69 participants compared SBP using Sphygmocor® XCEL device (AtCor Medical, Sydney, Australia). Results Significant...
Em pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC) em hemodiálise (HD), a hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (HVE) está relacionada ao aumento do índice de resistência vascular periférica (IRVP) total e à sobrecarga volume. A presença da diurese residual (DR) nesses possibilita maior controle volêmico. Avaliamos as modificações morfofuncionais ventrículo esquerdo (VE) DRC HD sem residual. Trinta um não diabéticos foram divididos dois grupos: (DR+) (n = 17) (DR-) 14). ambos os grupos, DR+ vs. DR-,...
The changes in blood pressure and the cardiac function were studied two groups of patients: an elderly group (EG) with 10 healthy normotensive patients, a young (YG), eight normal volunteers.Both provided meals high contents lipids (LM), carbohydrates (CM), proteins (PM). systemic hemodynamic each compared.The maximum reductions (Δ(max)) observed mean arterial EG -10.3% -8.9% for LM CM, respectively (P<0.05), -6.5% PM (NS). No significant found YG. After showed reduction total peripheral...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Elderly patients with normal systemic arterial blood pressure associated femoral carotid pulse velocity (cf-PWV) less than 7.6 m/s and without comorbidities are considered to have good vascular health. The aim of the current study was verify probability that elderly health at least one measurement above different thresholds for systolic (120, 130 140 mmHg) during two years follow–up. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We...
Background Venom-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of Bothrops snakebite with relevant morbidity and mortality. The aim this study was to assess the effects Schizolobium parahyba (SP) extract, natural medicine presumed anti-Bothrops venom effects, in an experimental model jararaca (BV)-induced AKI. Methodology Groups 8 10 rats received infusions 0.9% saline (control, C), SP 2 mg/kg, BV 0.25 mg/kg immediately followed by (treatment, T) doses already described. After...
Aging is associated with changes in cardiovascular structure and function, which predisposes elderly people to reduced blood pressure levels after meals. The authors studied cardiac systolic function hypertensive patients eating meals different contents of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates. Ten male were (mean age, 69 years; range 60-80 years). No had a previous history orthostatic or postprandial hypotension. Patients ate 1 3 pre-prepared meals: lipid meal (LM), protein (PM), carbohydrate...
Abstract Introduction: Nephrolithiasis has a worldwide prevalence of approximately 5 to 15%, and its occurrence is associated with age, sex, race, dietary habits, geographic location, climatic conditions, other factors. The objective the present study was determine association between climate number hospitalizations for nephrolithiasis (NH) in Brazilian cities located different regions. Methods: We analyzed data from tropical subtropical climates. effects lowest (LT), mean (MT), highest (HT)...
<b><i>Introduction/Aims:</i></b> The Acute Kidney Injury Network classification is based on small increases in serum creatinine (sCr) for stage 1. This study investigated whether changes the urinary concentration of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) could predict sCr patients undergoing coronary angiography. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> uNGAL was measured before contrast infusion and 2 4 h afterwards. Patients were divided into...
