Renal Function and Urine Production in the Compromised Fetus
نویسنده
چکیده
Fetal urine production begins in the first trimester. Autopsy findings of filled urinary bladders in human fetuses have been reported from 11 gestational weeks (Abramovich, 1968). In 1970, the first report on ultrasound investigations of the fetal urinary bladder was published (Garrett et al., 1970). Three years later, a method for estimating fetal urine production was introduced (Campbell et al., 1973).

Effect of aminophylline on renal function of brain injury patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit
Introdution: Acute renal failure is a common complication in the brain injury patients. Released adenosine in injury can reduce renal glomerular filtration. Aminophylline is an inhibitor of releasing adenosine. So, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of intravenous aminophylline in renal function of brain-injured patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit. Method...
متن کاملThe effect of borage tea on urine and blood biochemistry on non-dialysis chronic renal failure patients
Background: There is no curative treatment for chronic renal failure (CRF). Important strategies for the control and prevention of the advancement of CRF are increased renal function and decreased blood pressure (BP) and weight. Borage has many benefits, such as increased frequency of urination, decreased BP, and increased renal function. This clinical trial study was designed to determine the ...
متن کاملPrevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 infections in renal transplant recipients and their renal function
Background and Objectives: Viral infections are a major problem for transplant recipients. Reactivation of viruses is associated with the use of strong immunosuppressive drugs. Herpes simplex virus infections in renal transplant patients may become severe without treatment. Although the prevalence and role of herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 in bone marrow and lung recipients are well known; howe...
متن کاملAqueous extract of Berberis integerrima root improves renal dysfunction in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats
Objective: Barberry root extract contains various alkaloids that are considered as antioxidants. Beneficial effect of aqueous extract of Berberis integerrima root (AEBIR) was evaluated for renal function in diabetic rats induced by STZ. Material and Methods: Diabetes was induced by i.p. injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg bw) to rats, after 15 h of fasting. Diabetic rats were randomly grouped...
متن کاملRenal responses to prolonged (48 h) hypoxemia without acidemia in the late-gestation ovine fetus.
The effect of sustained moderate hypoxia on renal blood flow and renal function was studied in the ovine fetus (123-129 days). The experiments consisted of 48 h of isocapnic hypoxia, not resulting in acidemia, but sufficient to produce redistribution of blood flow in favor of the brain at the expense of the carcass. Hypoxemia was induced by maternal nitrogen inhalation. Fetal arterial O2 satura...
