To assess the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on muscle protein metabolism in uremic patients with malnutrition, forearm [3H]phenylalanine kinetics were evaluated six chronically wasted (body weight 79% ideal weight) hemodialysis (HD) a self-controlled, crossover study. Forearm dynamics before, after 6-wk course rhGH (5 mg thrice weekly) and washout period. After rhGH: (a) phenylalanine net balance--the difference between incorporation into release from proteins--decreased...
Data on exercise activities in place, and the interest for developing them Nephrology Services Italy is limited. To address this gap, we carried out cross-sectional study to investigate status of physical activity programs available Italian Centres. Additionally, research priorities topic were examined. We developed a 14-item electronic survey, which consisted multiple-choice questions covering training programs, assessment, barriers practice counselling practices, perceived benefits,...
Protein Energy Wasting (PEW) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is a multifactorial condition due to specific pathology-related pathogenetic mechanisms, leading loss of skeletal muscle mass HD patients. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging still represent the gold standard techniques for body composition assessment. However, their widespread application clinical practice difficult evaluation mainly based on conventional anthropometric nutritional indexes bioelectrical impedance...
Background. Diagnostic imaging of acute pyelonephritis (APN) in renal transplanted patients is an important clinical issue. While conventional ultrasonography (US) has a limited diagnostic role, contrast-enhanced computer tomography and magnetic resonance (MRI) represent the gold standard tests. However, nephrotoxicity either iodinated or paramagnetic contrast medium limits their use, especially with kidney disease. Contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) may detect poorly perfused parenchymal areas,...

The aim of our study was to assess the role Doppler ultrasonography (DU) by resistive index (RI) and difference RI (DeltaRI) in patients with acute unilateral renal obstruction.We studied 36 consecutive (12 female, 24 male; mean age 45.6 +/- 8.4 years) suspected colic intravenous pyelography (IVP) DU determination Delta RI. A >= 0.70 a DeltaRI 0.06 were considered suggestive obstruction. IVP as "gold standard".In population, 0.664 0.060 affected kidney site symptoms 0.614 0.025 contralateral...
The term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) describes a broad spectrum of clinical conditions with four combinations acute and chronic heart kidney failure. Based on the pathophysiological primum movens, actual classification recognizes five CRS types: in type I II CRS, initiating event is failure (acute or chronic), while it III IV CRS; V linked to systemic diseases. Ultrasound techniques (echocardiography ultrasonography kidney, inferior vena cava chest) can be extremely helpful establishing...
Acute bilateral renal artery thrombosis is a rare but surgically correctable cause of acute failure. A middle-aged woman with failure and anuria due to atherosclerotic occlusion the abdominal aorta both arteries was treated 42 days after onset anuria. Revascularization resulted in reversal complete recovery function spite prolonged An aggressive diagnostic therapeutic approach important whenever this condition suspected.
Although atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is strictly associated with high cardiovascular risk and mortality, it often may remain unrecognized being clinically silent frequently masked by co-morbidities especially in elderly patients coexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD). The present observational study was conducted CKD-patients atherosclerosis on other arterial beds. aims were assessment of (1) ARAS prevalence; (2) best predictor(s) ARAS, using duplex ultrasound; (3) outcomes...
