Cystone, a well-known herbal formulation improves renal function in rats with acute renal failure (ARF) induced by Glycerol intoxication
The present study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup in an experimental model of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. Biochemical parameters, kidney weight and histopathological evaluation were performed to conclude the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup. Administration of single dose of 50% v/v glycerol (8ml/kg.i.m) caused severe renal dysfunction assoc...
متن کاملAcute asymmetrical neuritis associated with rapid ultrafiltration dialysis.
Three patients with chronic renal failure treated by haemodialysis developed acute asymmetrical sensory and motor neuropathies when ultrafiltration was induced to treat oedema. The neuropathies were characteristic of acute mononeuritis multiplex rather than uraemic polyneuritis, and we give our reasons for believing that they were not caused by toxic uraemic metabolites but by an ischaemic proc...

Background. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antiviral drug resistance constitutes an increasing challenge in transplantation. Foscarnet is usually proposed when resistance for ganciclovir is suspected, but its use is limited by its nephrotoxicity. Case Presentation. We report a case of multiresistant CMV disease in a kidney transplant recipient. Foscarnet was prescribed after ganciclovir treatment failur...
متن کاملRenal Function Improvement by Telbivudine in Liver Transplant Recipients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic renal failure is a frequent complication in liver transplantation. Telbivudine, anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleoside, can improve renal function. It is interesting if using telbivudine for prophylaxis of HBV recurrence has additional value on renal function improvement. 120 liver transplant recipients with lamivudine prophylaxis for HBV recurrence were 1 : 1 randomized into lamivudin...
