Severe acute renal failure at Groote Schuur Hospital
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a syndrome occurring over hours to days of renal dysfunction with a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) resulting in a failure to excrete nitrogenous waste products.

Magnesium Transport In Mammalian Erythrocytes And Its Effect On Platelet Aggregation
Renal failure is a decrease or cessation of Glomerular filtration. In acute renal failure (ARE) the kidneys abruptly stop working entirely or almost entirely. The main feature of ARF is suppression of urine flow, where the daily urine output is less than 250 ml or even less than 50 ml daily. Causes …

Acute dichromate poisoning following the use of toxic purgatives
… years, several patients have presented to the Renal Unit of Groote Schuur Hospital with acute renal failure following the use of traditional (N'anga or Gqirha) medication. The history together with abnormal liver-function tests and renal failure was thought to be suggestive of a toxic …

Effects of a prostaglandin E₁ analogue, misoprostol, on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicosis in dogs
Autoregulation of renal blood flow is partly mediated by antagonistic vasodilating and vasoconstricting effects of products of the arachidonic acid cascade. Vasodilatory prostaglandins have been evaluated in experimental models of acute renal failure and clinical human medicine, with variable …

Genetic and Chemical Genetic Approaches to Shiga Toxin Inhibition
… by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Though hemolytic uremic syndrome remains the leading cause of acute renal failure in children under the age of 5, treatment of this disease remains purely supportive. In order to limit the systemic effects of Shiga toxin, …

Risk Factors and Epidemiologic Characteristics of Post Procedural Acute Kidney Injury in Patients from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) Participant Use Data File (PUF), 2014
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) following surgical procedures puts an enormous burden on the health care system by increasing the length of hospital stay, requiring renal replacement therapy or kidney transplant, and even leading to death. Few studies have been performed to determine the predictive …

A state-of-the-art review of the bioartificial renal assist device developed at the University of Michigan, USA
… been the most successful choice of treatment for acute renal failure in intensive care units despite the mortality rate of 70 %. However haemodialysis still remains suboptimal as it does not replace all the lost functions of a normal kidney. This thesis reviews an attempt involving cell therapy in …

Acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis : clinical profile and pathogenic mechanisms
Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) is an important cause of renal morbidity. This study showed that it represents up to 8% of acute renal failure where biopsy material was available and accounted for 1% of all renal biopsy material. This study, which is believed to be the largest single …

An ontological and epistemological paradigm for clinical decision support

The Study of Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression, Function, and Regulation in the Renal Vasculature During Postnatal Renal Development
<p>The newborn kidney is vulnerable to vasomotor acute renal failure (ARF) from adverse perinatal events or complications of prematurity. Nitric oxide (NO) vasodilation is vitally protective in this type of ARF, but its relationship with other vasoactive factors, such as angiotensin II (AII) has …

Effects of low molecular weight compounds on growth, virulence gene expression and cytotoxic activity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7
… syndrome (HUS), and are the leading cause of acute renal failure in children. A series of novel low molecular weight chemical compound (LMWC) capable of inhibiting various virulence gene expressions in E. coli O157:H7 has been identified, which could help mitigate its pathogenicity at certain …
