Troponins, Acute Coronary Syndrome and Renal Disease: From Acute Kidney Injury Through End-stage Kidney Disease

Acute Kidney Injury: Tubular Markers and Risk for Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Kidney Failure.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome directly related to patient short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality. Over the last decade, the occurrence rate of AKI has been increasing, and there has also been a growing epidemic of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) linked to severe and repeated episodes of AKIs. The detection and management of A...

Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

Haemodialysis treatment for end stage chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury in Africa.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the progressive loss of kidney function occurring over months to years. CKD is common in Africa but there are few data on prevalence. Several studies from Africa report a prevalence of CKD of about 10%. Once the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls below 10ml/minutes/1.73m the accumulation of uraemic toxins (measured as serum urea and creatinine), hydrogen ions...

Endotoxemia is associated with acute coronary syndrome in patients with end stage kidney disease

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in patients with end-staged kidney disease (ESRD). Most ESRD patients have systemic inflammation, and increasing the risk of cardiovascular event. Endotoxin derived from lipopolysaccharide of Gram negative bacteria accounts for 70% of intestinal bacteria, leading to release of proinflammatory cytokines and negative cardiovascular eff...
