A Consideration of Uremia

Pathophysiology of acute uremia

Pathophysiology of acute uremia Acute renal failure has traditionally been classified as Pre-renal, intrinsic renal, and/or Post-renal in origin. Careful scrutiny of history, physical examination, laboratory findings and imaging studies of cats presenting with signs of an acute uremic crisis usually provides adequate information to identify Pre-renal, renal and Post-renal components of uremia. ...

The elephant in uremia: oxidant stress as a unifying concept of cardiovascular disease in uremia.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in uremic patients. In large cross-sectional studies of dialysis patients, traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia have been found to have low predictive power, while markers of inflammation and malnutrition are highly correlated with cardiovascular mortality. However, the pathophysiology of t...

Suppliers Selection in Consideration of Risks by a Neural Network

Faced with the dynamic demands of a changing market, companies are facing fierce competition, which forces them to consider more and more new approaches to improve quality, reduce costs, produce on time, control their risks and remain successful in the face of any disruption. It is clear that the choice of appropriate suppliers is one of the key factors in increasing the competitiveness of comp...

A critical assessment of uremia research.

There are considerably fewer randomized controlled trials investigating hemodialysis (HD) than other fields of internal medicine, and no significant improvements have been observed over time. Only the National Cooperative Dialysis Study and the HEMO trial were based on hard endpoints such as morbidity and mortality, but neither considered on-line hemodiafiltration or super-flux membranes, which...
