Abstract Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio ( NLR ) was introduced as a potential marker to determine inflammation in end‐stage renal disease ESRD patients. Recently, platelet‐to‐lymphocyte PLR and were found positively correlated with inflammatory markers including tumor necrosis factor‐α TNF ‐α) interleukin IL )‐6 cardiac noncardiac Data regarding its association are lacking hemodialysis HD peritoneal dialysis PD Hence, we aimed the relationship between , This cross‐sectional study involving...

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and immunosuppression, such as in renal transplantation (RT), stand one of the established potential risk factors for severe coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Case morbidity mortality rates any type infection have always been much higher CKD, haemodialysis (HD) RT patients than general population. A large study comparing COVID-19 outcome moderate to advanced CKD (Stages 3–5), HD with a control group is still lacking. Methods We conducted...

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have elevated serum levels of inflammatory mediators including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin (IL)-6. Systemic inflammation was found to be correlated coronary artery (CAD) in this population.

Inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI). IL-33 is a proinflammatory cytokine, but its role in AKI unknown. Here we observed increased protein expression full-length following induction with cisplatin. To determine whether promotes injury, administered soluble ST2 (sST2), fusion that neutralizes activity by acting as decoy receptor. Compared cisplatin-induced untreated mice, mice treated sST2 had fewer CD4 T cells infiltrate kidney, lower serum creatinine,...

ABSTRACT The histopathological lesions, minimal change disease (MCD) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are entities without immune complex deposits which can cause podocyte injury, thus frequently grouped under the umbrella of podocytopathies. Whether MCD FSGS may represent a spectrum same remains matter conjecture. Both require repeated high-dose glucocorticoid therapy with alternative immunosuppressive treatments reserved for relapsing or resistant cases response rates...

Currently, the number of imaging and interventional procedures that use contrast agents (CAs) is gradually increasing. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) most important CA-related complication. Oxidative stress plays a significant role in its pathophysiology. Lycopene (LPN) natural substance with strong antioxidant capacity. The present study aimed to investigate potential preventive effects LPN against CIN. In total, 28 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups 7 each group;...
