Plasma pteridine concentrations in patients with chronic renal failure.
BACKGROUND Pteridine metabolism is impaired in the uraemic state. This may affect cardiovascular function and contribute to malnutrition. We wished to clarify further the impact of impaired pteridine metabolism. METHODS Using the HPLC method, the plasma concentrations of endogenous pteridines were determined in 64 patients with chronic renal failure (33 on intermittent haemodialysis (HD) trea...
متن کاملThe relationship between Aldosterone level and various LV conditions in patients with End-stage renal disease
Background: Aldosterone has been assumed to be implicated in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Preventing the progression of LVH in the early period of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) can increase patient survival. In this study, therefore, we analyzed the relationship between aldosterone level and LVH in ESRD patients who underwent hemodialysis at Fatemeh Zahra Hospital and Imam Khomeini Hosp...

The fibrinolytic enzyme system is co] important in the removal of pathologi fibrin (Astrup, 1956). In the later s disease excessive fibrinous exudato formed. A defect in the fibrinolytic e of lung tissue which may be importan genesis of the fibrinous intra-alveolar occurs in renal failure has been report Stalker, and Ogston, 1962). We des results of a study of the fibrinolytic sys and urine in ...
متن کاملAldosterone antagonism in chronic kidney disease.
A ngiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are potent members of the arsenal to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD). By reducing blood pressure (BP) and disproportionately decreasing intraglomerular pressure, this class of drugs also reduces proteinuria and slows progression of CKD (1,2). Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in this population, it is noteworthy that ACE inhib...
متن کاملAldosterone, dietary salt, and renal disease.
Increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is an early indicator of glomerular damage and of increased cardiovascular risk. Systemic endothelial dysfunction, for which albuminuria is presumed to be a sensitive biomarker, likely underlies, at least in part, these combined cardiorenal effects.1 A large body of experimental data implicates the independent roles of aldosterone and high dietary salt ...
