Experimental strategies to reverse chronic renal disease.
Progression of chronic nephropathies still represents a major challenge for clinical nephrologists. Specific therapies that prevent patients from requiring dialysis or transplantation are still not available. However, recent experimental studies have demonstrated that regression of advanced lesions in the kidney can be achieved. This review summarizes the recent therapeutic advances using exper...
متن کاملReverse cholesterol transport pathway in experimental chronic renal failure.
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure (CRF) causes oxidative stress, inflammation, oxidation of lipoproteins, impaired maturation of HDL and accelerated atherosclerosis. Uptake of oxidized lipoproteins by macrophages via scavenger receptors (scavenger receptor class A type I--SR-AI, and lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor--LOX-1) leads to foam cell formation and atherosclerosis. HDL mitigates atherosc...
متن کاملRenal Fractional Excretion of Sodium in Relation to Arterial Blood Gas and Spirometric Parameters in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Introduction: Arterial gas derangement could change urinary sodium excretion in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.There are very few and conflicting data in regards to the measurement of fractional excretion of sodium in COPD patients. The main aim of this study was to assess the relationship between renal fractional excretion of sodium(FeNa) with arterial blood gas and spir...
متن کاملChronic Renal Disease: Orthomolecular Ramifications
Introduction Increasingly, human kidneys are under assault from environmental toxins as well as an array of diseases that place them at risk of ultimately failing. Eleven percent of American adults now show evidence of chronic kidney disease, with over 400,000 afflicted with end-stage kidney disease. Over a third of those cases are caused by diabetes, and the remainder by high blood pressure an...
متن کاملStrategies to reduce dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The chief complaint of many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is that they are no longer able to carry out or maintain an activity of which they were previously capable [1, 2]. The mechanism of activity limitation is now felt to be multifactorial, related to muscle dysfunction as well as to pulmonary factors. A key concept is that activity limitation (or exercise intole...
