Background: Kidney disorders are serious outcomes of diabetes, resulting in renal ailments. This study seeks to provide an alternative treatment for the disorder through the use of medicinal plants that offer renal protection and ameliorate the deleterious effect of diabetes. Methods: Thirty rats were divided into six groups of five and hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection ...

Cardiac involvement is very frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. Kidney transplantation results in reducing morbidity and mortality compared to patients on dialysis. The objective of this review was to address the effect of renal transplantation in cardiac structure and function assessed by echocardiography. Since the 1980s, studies have demonstrated a trend towards imp...

background: diabetes mellitus is an alarming life style disease in the modern world. exploitation of the anti-diabetic drugs for the amelioration of diabetes and associated life style diseases has become an imperative concern. in this milieu, this study was designed to explore the plausible effects of metformin intervention on hepatic and renal functions in a rat model of alcoholic liver diseas...

This study aimed to develop a mathematical model for predicting recovery potential of an obstructed kidney with poor function by a noninvasive method. We analyzed a cohort study of 93 patients who suffered from unilateral renal or ureteral stones with hydronephrosis and renography showing an ipsilateral glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <15 ml/min. We recorded clinical parameters, including age,...

INTRODUCTION Renal dysfunction is one of complications in patients with obstructive icterus. It is important to recognize it early and take adequate measure to prevent its occurrence. One third of the patients with obstructive icterus have deterioration of renal function before surgical intervention. The aim of the research was to assess the renal dysfunction markers in patients with obstructiv...

BACKGROUND Nephrocalcinosis, characterized by intratubular and/or parenchymal deposition of calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate crystals, is frequently seen in renal allograft biopsies; however, the clinical consequence of this histologic finding remains unknown. Kidney transplant recipients with good allograft function usually demonstrate improvement in biochemical parameters; however, persi...

Acute renal failure (ARF) occurs in 10 per cent to 23 per cent of intensive care unit patients with mortality ranging from 50 per cent to 90 per cent. ARF is characterized by an acute decline in renal function as measured by urine output (UOP), serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Causes may be prerenal, intrarenal, or postrenal. Treatment consists of renal replacement therapy (RRT)...

The effect of Solanum macrocarpon fruit on haematology, hepatic and renal function was studied. Twenty-five wistar albino rats were divided into five groups of five rats each. Aside the control group, the test groups were given compounded feed of ground Solanum macrocarpon fruit and normal (pelletized) rats feed. Results obtained for haematology, hepatic and renal function revealed significance...

Renal failure is a situation in which the kidney fails to function adequately. There are two forms of renal failure acute and chronic renal failure. End-Stage Renal Disease is the final stage of chronic renal failure were in there is a progressive, irreversible deterioration in renal function and the function is substituted by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), haemodialysis (HD), per...

Effectiveness of antihypertensive agents is assessed not only by systemic blood pressure levels, but by multiple parameters that reflect specific organ functions. Among antihypertensive agents, those which inhibit angiotensin actions show particular efficacy in ameliorating end organ damage. This efficacy likely reflects the central role that angiotensin has in regulating renal function by its ...
