Chronic Kidney Disease: Pathophysiology, Progression and Interventions

chronic kidney disease (CKD) in dogs and cats occurred late in the course of disease, usually aft er kidney function loss of 75% or more. Late recognition of CKD is largely due to insensitivity of serum creatinine concentration as a measure of kidney function. A new kidney function test, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), has been reported to diagnose CKD in dogs and cats with a decline in kidn...

Impact of haemoglobin concentration and chronic kidney disease in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions.

BACKGROUND A few recent studies suggested that anaemia has a marked impact on the survival of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, all of these analyses did not take into consideration that chronic kidney disease (CKD) plays an important role in erythropoiesis and anaemia. Therefore, we assessed in this study whether anaemia is an independent predictor of mortality or if its imp...
