context in human beings, uric acid is the poorly soluble circulating end product of the purine nucleotide metabolism. a reduction in the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) contributes to hyperuricemia, which is frequently observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). evidence acquisition hyperuricemia is defined as a serum uric acid level > 7.0 mg/dl in males and > 6.0 mg/dl in females,...

Low protein intake had been shown to reduce rate of kidney function decline, while insufficient resulted in malnutrition chronic disease (CKD) patients. Methods estimate daily CKD patients can be tedious and prone bias inaccuracies.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to the myriad problems that follow loss of kidney function. It results from a large number of diseases that either are systemic and damage the kidney or are intrinsic to the kidney ( Table 131-1 ). CKD has two characteristics. First, there is chronicity because the kidney damage of CKD is rarely repaired and loss of function persists, unlike the course of acu...

background beta-2 microglobulin (b2m) is considered as a surrogate marker for middle molecule uremic toxins and a key component in dialysis-related amyloidosis. however, few studies have evaluated role of b2m in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of plasma b2m level with some metabolic and cardiac performance factors ...

Shouldcurrentguidelinesbechanged to requireage calibration fordiagnosisandclassificationofchronic kidney disease?—No. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public healthproblem, affectingmore than 10%of theworld’s population and more than half of adults older than 70 years.1 Chronic kidney disease is one of several conditions that are common in older people, such as hypertension, diabetes, a...

Starting with the early stages, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience higher burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, CVD complications are the major cause of mortality in CKD patients as compared with complications from chronic kidney failure. While traditional CVD risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, physical inactivity, may be more...

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be associated with deterioration of mental health. However, it is clear that this link is over and beyond the effects of socio-economic factors and other medical conditions. This study had two aims: 1) to compare the association between CKD and general anxiety disorder (GAD) among the two major ethnic groups of American Bla...

Hyperuricemia management in chronic kidney disease is a challenging task. We encounter this dilemma on regular basis. Kidney patients have wide range (CKD population, Hemodialysis & peritoneal dialysis cohort and renal transplant patients).

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that affects 10–15% of the adult population, prevalence expected to increase worldwide [...]

Abstract Background and Aims Hypertension is a common clinical finding in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). In fact, hypertension accelerates the progression of renal disease damages other target organs leading to worsening failure increased incidence cardiovascular morbidity mortality. Method We conducted retrospective, cross-sectional study at Department Nephrology Mongi Slim Hospit...
