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...

Hypertonic solutions play an important role in the treatment of tissue edema. Following the induction of experimental vasogenic brain edema by occlusion of the common carotid arteries in eight rabbits, the effect of hypertonic lactated Ringer's solution (subjects), vs. isotonic lactated Ringer's solution (control), was studied on blood pressure, electrolyte (sodium, potassium, and calcium) ...

INTRODUCTION We explored the diagnostic value of a urine soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) for early sepsis identification, severity and prognosis assessment, and for secondary acute kidney injury (AKI). We compared this with white blood cell (WBC) counts, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), serum procalcitonin (PCT), urine output, creatinine clearance (CCr), serum ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of balancing low protein diets for methionine and lysine on performance of early lactation Holstein cows under hot environmental temperature. Twenty one multiparous Holstein cows in early lactation were allocated to three experimental rations including, 1) High protein ration with 17.5% CP, 2) Medium protein ration with 16% CP and 12 g/d rumen p...

gentamicin is an important aminoglycoside antibiotic. however its use is limited to serious and life threatening gram negative infections, because of its high nephrotoxicity potential in patients. there are reports that safranal, the active ingredient of saffron with antioxidant properties, exerts protective effect against ischemic injuries occurred by certain nephrotoxins including gentamicin....

We describe a patient with severe hypernatremia and uremia caused by paranoid adipsia who was treated successfully with hydration and hemodialysis. A previously healthy 40-year-old woman developed the paranoid idea that her water was poisoned, so she refused to drink any water. On admission, her blood urea nitrogen was 208mg/dL, creatinine 4.90mg/dL, serum osmolality 452mOsm/L, serum sodium 172...

Increased intracranial pressure is a further effect of brain injury due to structural damage and osmotic water imbalances (Edema). Mannitol works in the proximal tubules mannitol absorption tubular cells by mechanism pinocytosis. The fluid transfer will draw into intracellular, so that cell be switched broke. This phenomenon referred as "Nephrosis Osmotic", which administration may occur result...
