conclusions chronic renal disease contributes to sarcopenia, which may develop at an earlier age in rtr. background chronic kidney disease can lead to sarcopenia; however, no study has described sarcopenia in the patients undergoing renal transplantation. objectives the aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia in renal transplant recipients (rtr) and to evaluate the d...

pheochromocytomas are cathecolamine producing tumor arising from chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla and extra adrenal tissues. this is a report of a boy presented with headache and hypertension. in radiologic exams, an adrenal mass detected in the left side, with no renal tissue on that side. it was reported an adrenal pheochromocytoma in histopathology. renal agenesis confirmed during surgery...

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in chloralose-anesthetized dogs reduced renal blood flow, and this reduction closely correlated (r = 0.92, P<0.01) with a decline in the renal efflux of a substance having the properties of PGE2. We used solvent extraction and thin-layer chromatography coupled with parallel bioassay to identify and assay the PGEand PGF-like substances (expressed as PGE2 and...

The contribution of alterations in renal hemodynamics to the diuretic and natriuretic actions of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was studied in chronically instrumented conscious dogs. Injection of ANF-(99-119), 10 micrograms/kg, had no effect on mean arterial pressure, heart rate, renal blood flow, or calculated renal vascular resistance; However, it increased urine flow rate (86 +/- 20%) and ...

The diminished glomerular filtration rate observed in previous studies of acute renal failure induced by uranyl nitrate has been ascribed to backflow of glomerular filtrate through necrotic tubular epithelium, since renal blood flow was essentially normal. Renal blood flow (xenon washout) and renal function were studied serially for 96 hours after the administration of uranyl nitrate (10 mg/kg,...

The ability of the immature kidney to autoregulate blood flow was investigated. Renal blood flow was measured by electromagnetic flowmeter. In six puppies, selective blockade of the intrarenal effects of angiotensin II (AII) by [1-sarcosine, 8-alanine]angiotensin II (anti-AII) administered into the renal artery did not change renal blood flow. During selective renal AII blockade, intravenous AI...

INTRODUCTION- Cardiovascular disease has emerged as a major health burden worldwide with coronary artery disease [CAD] causing highest mortality and morbidity. Coronary revascularization is the preferred treatment for patients with multivessel CAD. Based on the application of cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB], Coronary revascularization can be on-pump [OPCAB] or off-pump [CABG].The CPB is known to h...

The intrarenal distribution of blood flow measured by the xenon washout method and the renin activity of renal venous blood were determined in 16 patients with early essential hypertension. None of the patients had evidence of systemic disease except for the elevation in blood pressure (> 150/100 mm Hg). Fifteen of the subjects received a controlled sodium diet during 7 to 9 days before study, ...

The aim of the present study was to distinguish between the direct effects of the renal nerves on renal function and indirect effects via neurally mediated increased systemic angiotensin II. We applied low-level electrical stimulation (1 Hz) to the left renal nerves in pentobarbitone-anesthetized rabbits for 180 minutes and measured renal blood flow, sodium excretion, and urine flow rate from b...
