Association of hemodialysis and pruritus in chronic renal failure

Background and aim: Pruritus is a common disabling problem in patients with end stage renal disease. Several studies has recorded the relation between pruritus with hemodialysis in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of hemodialysis on pruritus of patients with CRF.Materials and Methods: After recording the demographic data and the diagnosis of d...

Etiology of Chronic Renal Failure in Children and Lnfants

Chronic renal failure is an uncommon disease in children with some difference in the etiology in different countries. In this study on 180 children (From 1987 to 1997 in Shiraz) with age range of 3 months to 15 years (mean 8.6±4.2 years). The male to female ratio was 1. 57: 1. The etiology of chronic renal failure in decreasing order of frequency were: reflux nephropathy (25 % ) , glbmerular di...

Plasma S-nitrosothiols and chronic renal failure.

Chronic Renal Failure and Its effects on Serum Lipids

Background: Metabolic disturbances and dyslipidemia are among the most important medical problems in human society. Their effects on the mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD) have lead to many investigations about them. Materials and Methods: An epidemiologic cross-sectional study was carried out on 10136 persons selected randomly in Tehran urban district 13 with a minimum age of 20 years ...

Plasma endothelin levels in hypertension and chronic renal failure.

Endothelin-1 is a novel endothelium-derived vasoconstrictive peptide. Using a highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for endothelin-1, plasma levels of immunoreactive endothelin-1 were measured in 32 research subjects with normal renal function (21 normal subjects and 11 patients with essential hypertension), 24 patients with nondialyzed chronic renal failure, and 51 patients undergoing...
