background: acute renal failure describes as a syndrome by rapid decline in the ability of the kidney to eliminate waste products, regulate acid–base balance, and manage water homeostasis. when this impairment is prolonged and entered chronic phase, erythropoietin secretion by this organ is decreasing and toxic metabolic accumulates and causes hematological changes include decrease of hct, mcv ...

background chronic inflammation is the most important cause of cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and vitamin c as a major antioxidant which could be effective to suppress inflammation. objectives this study was performed to evaluate the effect of vitamin c supplementation on c-reactive protein levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis. patients and methods this random...

conclusions people with chronic kidney disease regardless of their age, gender, state of health, and duration of hemodialysis experience high levels of fatigue; it is particularly important for health providers to understand this level of fatigue which affects the daily life of patients. results all the patients experienced degrees of fatigue and 50 (30.7%) of the participants experienced a hig...

awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. in 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through the h...

background: numerical study of angulation effects of renal arteries on blood flow has been of great interest for many researchers. objective: this paper aims at numerically determining the angulation effects of stenosed renal arteries on blood flow velocity and renal mass flow. method: an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries is reconstructed from ct-scan images and...

background. the major side effect of cisplatin, used in some tumours, is nephrotoxicity. reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage are the most important factors in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure. the main purpose of this study is to investigate the protective effects of crocin against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure and oxidative stress in rat. methods. in this study, animals w...

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...

introduction: renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy is of great value. by now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy report has not been recommended by guidelines. if the validi...
