<h3>Background</h3> Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement allows a better risk stratification in essential hypertension compared with office measurement, but its prognostic role nondialysis chronic kidney disease has been poorly investigated. <h3>Methods</h3> The of daytime and nighttime systolic BP (SBP) diastolic (DBP) comparison measurements was evaluated 436 consecutive patients disease. Primary end points were time to renal death (end-stage or death) fatal nonfatal cardiovascular...
The Italian nephrology has a long tradition and experience in the field of dietetic-nutritional therapy (DNT), which is an important component conservative management patient suffering from chronic kidney disease, precedes integrates pharmacological therapies. objectives DNT include maintenance optimal nutritional status, prevention and/or correction signs, symptoms complications renal failure and, possibly, delay starting dialysis. includes modulation protein intake, adequacy caloric...
No study has assessed whether the prognosis of coexisting diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (DM-CKD) is dictated by DM per se or extent proteinuria.In this pooled analysis four prospective studies in CKD patients treated with drugs inhibiting renin-angiotensin system, we compared risk all-cause mortality, fatal non-fatal cardiovascular (CV) events end-stage renal (ESRD) between (n = 693) without 1481) stratified proteinuria level (<0.15, 0.15-0.49, 0.5-1 >1 g/day).The group DM-CKD...
Experimental studies suggest that salt intake plays a critical role in the progressive glomerular filtration rate (GFR) loss of established renal disease; however, this issue has never been addressed humans. To aim, we have retrospectively analyzed clinical data patients with chronic failure (CRF), whom low-protein diet was prescribed, over period about 3 years. On basis daily urinary sodium output, were divided into two groups: group constantly ingesting > 200 mEq NaCl/day (high intake,...
The aim of this study was to detect the potential occurrence early abnormalities body composition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at first referral an outpatient nephrology clinic. Eighty-four CKD (49 men and 35 women) were compared 604 healthy control subjects (298 306 women). Anthropometry bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) performed all participants, whereas renal function, laboratory tests for nutritional status, nutrient intake assessed group only. Creatinine clearance...
International guidelines have not reached a complete agreement about the optimal amount of dietary proteins in chronic kidney disease(CKD). The aim this study was to compare, with randomized-controlled design, metabolic effects two diets different protein content (0.55 vs 0.80 g/kg/day) patients CKD stages 4-5.Study design and sample size calculations were based on previously published experience our group low diet. primary outcome modification serum urea nitrogen concentration. From 423...
High phosphate levels attenuate nephroprotection through angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in patients with proteinuric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether this phenomenon holds true for other nephroprotective interventions like very-low-protein diet (VLPD) is unknown.We tested the hypothesis that interferes anti-proteinuric response to VLPD a non-randomized, sequential study 99 CKD who sequentially underwent low-protein (LPD; 0.6 g/kg) and (0.3 supplemented keto-analogues, each...
Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring allows concurrent evaluation of BP control and nocturnal dipping status, both related to adverse outcomes. However, few studies have assessed the prognostic role combining information on status achieved ambulatory in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Prospective observational cohort study.906 hypertension CKD attending 1 3 Italian nephrology clinics.Four groups were defined by simultaneously classifying systolic levels as being at goal...
To gain insights into postdialytic rebound of serum phosphate (PDR-P), (P), calcium (Ca), and parathyroid hormone (PTH), levels were compared from the end treatment (T0) to subsequent 30 120 min up 68 hr in uremic patients who underwent with crossover modality a single session two dialytic treatments characterized by different convective removal: standard hemodialysis (HD) hemodiafiltration (HDF). In HDF, versus HD, P removal was greater (1171 +/- 90 814 79 mg; < 0.05) presence similar...
Kidney transplantation (KT) may restore fertility in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The reasons why maternofetal outcomes are still inferior to the overall population only partially known. Comparison with CKD offer some useful insights for management and counselling.Aim of this study was analyse pregnancy after KT, compared a large nontransplanted patients low-risk control pregnancies, observed Italy new millennium.We selected 121 live-born singletons KT (Italian group pregnancy, national...
