Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is still widely used for acute renal failure (ARF) in developing countries despite concerns about its inadequacy. Continuous PD has been evaluated ARF by analyzing the resolution of metabolic abnormality and normalization plasma pH, bicarbonate, potassium.A prospective study was performed on 30 patients who were assigned to high-dose continuous (Kt/V = 0.65 per session) via a flexible catheter (Tenckhoff) automated with cycler. Fluid removal, pH control, protein...
The definition of adequate dialysis in acute renal failure (ARF) is complex and involves the time referral to dialysis, dose, dialytic method. Nephrologist experience with a specific procedure availability different modalities play an important role these choices. There no consensus literature on best method or ideal dose ARF.Peritoneal (PD) used less ARF patients, being replaced by continuous venovenous therapies. However, it should not be discarded as worthless therapeutic option for...
Natural products represent a vital source of chemical entities for the development anti-infective agents. Insects face constant threats from pathogens and have evolved diverse mechanisms infection response. Among various insect species, protection provided by Galleria mellonella eggs against microorganisms remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate whether G. produces compounds that could serve as agents clinically important bacteria. Additionally, examined effects larval...
INTRODUCTION: The decision of when to start dialysis in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) patients with overt uremia is strongly established, however, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels < 100 mg/dL the timing initiation remains uncertain. Purpose: aim this study was assess mortality and renal function recovery AKI started on at different BUN levels. METHODS: This a retrospective performed Medical School Hospital, São Paulo, Brazil, enrolling 86 underwent dialysis. RESULTS: Dialysis 75 mg/dl 23 (Group...
In low-middle-income countries (LMICs), data regarding acute kidney injury (AKI) are scarce. AKI patients experience delayed diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate whether nephrologist consultation (NC) affected outcomes of and compare Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO).An observational, retrospective was conducted in a tertiary public hospital an LMIC.Overall, 103 were analysed. In-hospital mortality 61.16%, dialysis required 38.83%. NC took place...
Hemodialysis services consume hundreds of liters water and generate tons plastic waste, significantly contributing to environmental impact through substantial consumption massive waste generation, both the global footprint. With an estimated three million maintenance dialysis patients worldwide, a doubling this number is projected by 2030, potentially exceeding 7 individuals with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. In developed countries, in practice conventional hemodialysis, occurring...
World Kidney Day, an initiative by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN), aims to raise awareness among population about Chronic Disease (CKD), a condition that affects approximately 10% global population, including 10 million Brazilians, with majority unaware their diagnosis. Albuminuria, marker kidney damage, is associated serious risks, and Dipstick Test simple rapid method detect it. This study conducted survey, using Test, on respondents during Day campaign in low-development...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication in hospitalized patients, particularly after major surgical procedures, such as cardiac surgery. It can reach an incidence of approximately 37% postoperative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with about 0.3% to 15% patients progressing the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). The significance this lies fact that presence AKI increases mortality rates around 1.3% 22.3%, reaching values between 25% and 88.9% requiring RRT.
Urinary lithiasis is one of the most common urinary tract pathologies worldwide, occurring both in Western and Eastern regions. It has a prevalence approximately 15% world's population, which demonstrates its clinical relevance. In Brazil, data shows that there are 5-10% individuals affected by this disease, with incidence constantly increasing population. However, figures imprecise relation to diagnosis regions especially Northeast.
The effect of gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, on renal function and especially acid excretion was studied in normal acidotic rats. doses used were 1 (G<sub>4</sub>) 10 (G<sub>40</sub>) times the suggested human therapeutic dose a weight basis. After days each treatment, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) unchanged G4 but fell significantly (p < 0.05) G<sub>40</sub>. In groups (AG<sub>4</sub> AG<sub>40</sub>) there...
Cross-fused renal ectopia is a rarely described congenital kidney anomaly. It can occur in association with ureteropelvic obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, and multicystic dysplasia, which sometimes leads to nephrolithiasis recurrent urinary infection. However, complications related glomerulopathies are rare patients Here, we report case of cross-fused associated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The initial clinical findings suggested the possibility secondary FSGS; nonetheless...
Type 1 cardiorenal syndrome is associated with higher mortality in heart failure patients. However, few studies have compared the diagnostic criteria of acute kidney injury (AKI) this population.To assess clinical and functional features factors AKI patients failure.Retrospective, cohort study on decompensated or recent myocardial infarction, conducted a tertiary hospital low-income region Brazil. Clinical, laboratory echocardiographic were between without according to Acute Kidney Network...
The effect of three aminoglycosides – gentamicin, netilmicin and amikacin on renal acid excretion was studied in male rats treated with doses equivalent to those clinically used. groups showed no important changes the values glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective plasma flow (ERPF) U/P inulin ratio during normal acidotic conditions. gentamicin group, however, a clear tendency decreases these functional parameters even conditions, finding that reinforces concept is more nephrotoxic than...
Objective: To trace the epidemiological profile of patients with SLE treated at Hospital Getúlio Vargas (HGV), in Teresina, Piauí. Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study, whose data were collected by consulting medical records Internal Medicine sector hospital. Results: Sixty-six SLE, mean age 38.65±15.02 years, included. There was a higher prevalence female individuals (89.4%), aged between 18 30 years (39.4%), being single (31.8%) or married (31.8%), coming from interior state...
Objective: Laboratory and histological evaluation of patients with lupus glomerulonephritis treated at Hospital Getúlio Vargas, in Teresina, Piauí. Methods: Descriptive, retrospective study, whose data were collected by consulting electronic medical records forms. Results: 33 evaluated, a mean age 30.45±10.19 years, female prevalence (96.97%). Most had altered creatinine values (51.51%) 24-hour proteinuria (81.81%). It was verified that C3 C4 (57.57%, each) altered, the Antinuclear Factor...
Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious illness with high mortality rates, particularly in older adult patients intensive care units (ICUs). Early detection of AKI crucial to prevent complications, but creatinine-based eGFR could result systematic bias patients. Methods: This study aimed analyze estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS)-creatinine and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations who...
Abstract Background: The diagnosis and treatment of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) rely on recognizing elevated serum creatinine levels as the indicator for suspicion. However, in older adults, lower baseline can hinder diagnosis, it may falsely appear normal even presence established AKI. To mitigate this issue, use age-validated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) enhance timeliness interventions. Methods : This study aimed to analyze eGFR, before confirmation AKI, using Berlin...
