The Effects of Perfusion on Renal Function

چکیده

The incidence of acute renal failure as a result of open heart surgery is difficult to quantify (Table 1). Some investigators are reporting this complication as any renal impairment following the surgical procedures in which case the incidence approaches 40%. 1 Others report only those cases which involve severe renal failure, occurring less than I 0%.25 The real importance, however, in the analysis of this data, is not the absolute incidence of this complication. Rather, the importance is that the mortality rate of patients with severe acute renal failure following open heart surgery approaches I 00%, even though this is a theoretically reversible complication and that aggressive medical management is available.5 In addition, the incidence of acute renal failure is likely to be on the increase due to the increase of the high risk surgical patient population. This paper will review foundational physiological principles regarding this complication and summarize a number of considerations for the perfusionist.

The effects of Mas receptor antagonist (A779) and renal perfusion pressure on serum nitrite concentration in male and female rats when angiotensin II receptors 1 & 2 were blocked

Introduction: Renin angiotensin system has an important role in blood pressure and renal functions. Active angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 converts angiotensin I into angiotensin-(1-7) which is a vasodilator hormone and interacts with nitric oxide changes as well as other angiotensin II receptors. In this study we evaluated the role of Mas receptor antagonist (A779) and renal perfusion press...

Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...

Urinary reflux to the non-functioning previous renal graft

Nuclear medicine imaging is routinely used for evaluation of perfusion and function of the transplanted kidneys. At present, the radiopharmaceutical of choice for this study in our center is Tc 99m-Ec. Complications of the kidney graft are demonstrable in the early and delayed images. One of these complications is vesicoureteral reflux to the graft or to the native kidneys. We present a 27 year...

Effect of Amlodipine in Comparison to Nifedipine on Vascular Perfusion Pressure of Isolated Rat Kidney

Objective(s) This study aimed to investigate and to compare the effects of nifedipine and amlodipine, dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel blockers (CCBs) on perfusion pressure of isolated perfused rat kidney. Materials and Methods Following the establishment of renal perfusion with a constant baseline pressure of 85-95 mmHg, the renal vasculature was constricted by phenylephrine (PE) injec...

Assessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT as compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan

Introduction: The selection of   optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...

The effect of AT2 and Mas receptors antagonists on renal hemodynamic and excretory disorders induced by ischemia/reperfusion in male and female rats

Introduction: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) may disturb renin-angiotensin system components. In this study, the effects of Mas receptor (A779) and AT2 receptor (PD123319) antagonists were examined in RIR rats. Methods: Total 60 male and female Wistar rats were assigned into 10 groups (n=6 in each group), including sham-operated group, RIR groups treated with the vehicle, A779, PD123319, ...
