Introduction The concentration of substances, including urea, creatinine, and uric acid, can be used as an index to measure toxic uremic solutes in the blood during dialysis and interdialytic intervals. The on-line monitoring of toxin concentration allows for the clearance measurement of some low-molecular-weight solutes at any time during hemodialysis.The aim of this study was to determine the...

Renal handling of uric acid mainly occurs in the proximal tubule, and bidirectional transport of urate may involve apical absorption via the urate-anion exchanger (URAT1) and basolateral uptake via organic anion transporters (OAT1 and OAT3). In rat kidneys, we investigated whether the protein abundance of URAT1, OAT1, and OAT3 is affected by the increase in uric acid intake. Male Sprague-Dawley...

background: the role of attenuation in antioxidant capacity or expansion of pro-oxidant/oxidant is well known for the development of stress oxidative. the aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma antioxidant capacity along with uric acid in patients with diabetic nephropathy (dn+) and without diabetic nephropathy (dn-). materials and methods: the research population included 88 patients wit...

coronary artery disease (cad) and vascular insufficiency are consequences of modern lifestyle, and vasogenic erectile dysfunction (ed) is one of the leading causes of sexual dysfunction which could be prevented like ischemic heart disease if the risk factors are discovered and managed. seventy-five men scheduled for coronary angiography were asked to fill out the iief5 questionnaire and underwe...
