Renal failure in advanced cholangiocarcinoma: Magnitude

Uric acid in advanced renal failure.

1. The results of studies of renal uric acid excretion in eleven patients with advanced chronic renal failure are presented. 2. The pyrazinamide suppression test was used to separate secretion from reabsorption of uric acid in the renal tubule. 3. There is a marked increase in the excretion and clearance of uric acid as renal function deteriorates. This was due to a striking increase in tubular...

Hypervitaminosis A accompanying advanced chronic renal failure.

Prevalence of advanced renal failure in Northern Ireland.

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of advanced chronic renal failure in Northern Ireland as part of an assessment by the Renal Association of the level of service provision for treatment of such patients. DESIGN Prospective notification of patients reaching a defined level of advanced chronic renal failure (serum creatinine concentration greater than or equal to 500 mumol/l or blood urea c...

Determination of glomerular function in advanced renal failure.

In 15 children with advanced chronic renal failure, glomerular filtration rate was determined by different methods. Inulin clearance correlated well with the mean of creatinine and urea clearance, and also with 51-chromium edetic acid (EDTA) clearance measured over 24 hours. The absolute values of creatinine clearance and of 51Cr-EDTA clearance measured up to 8 hours were higher than inulin cle...

Functional and circulatory renal changes in advanced heart failure.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to describe the relations between heart and renal functions and to investigate whether reduced glomerular filtration rate is influenced more by reduced perfusion or venous congestion. METHODS A prospective cohort study of 101 patients (69 men, 32 women) with chronic heart failure aged 52 (49-54) (median, 95 % confidence interval) years. We analyzed the bloo...
