Tissue Sodium in CKD Patients
… altered in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to long term loading, and sodium (23Na) can be deposited in the skin, muscle and skeleton. We measured 23Na content in these tissues of CKD patients, using 23Na magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Methods: This is a pilot cross-sectional study …

ROLE OF CKD AND CASPASE-1 IN NEOINTIMAL HYPERPLASIA DEVELOPMENT
… and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients that require hemodialysis. The major cause of vascular access failure is venous stenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia (NH). Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are critical for the development of NH lesions, as they have the ability …

The renal effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
… Inasmuch as the prevalence of both CKD and OA increases with age, it is expected that many dogs being treated with NSAIDs for OA will have loss of renal reserve and/or early stage CKD. If administration of an NSAID is required for long term treatment of osteoarthritis, frequent …

Chronic kidney disease in HIV populations: prevalence, risk factors and role of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-߀1) polymorphisms
… are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Also, recent studies indicate a genetic predisposition to CKD in the African HIV population. This work investigated the prevalence of CKD (and its correlates) in the global and local HIV population and proceeded to investigate the diagnostic …

MDRD 추정 사구체 여과율만으로 만성 신질환으로 분류되는 군의 임상적 의미
… (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative)- CKD (chronic kidney disease) stage에 따라 stage 3~5는 eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate)이 60 ml/min/1.73m2 미만인 경우 신손상의 유무와 무관하게 CKD로 분류된다. 본 연구에서는 혈청 크레아티닌이 정상이면서 혈뇨와 단백뇨가 없는 대상 중 eGFR의 감소만으로 CKD로 분류되는 군의 임상양상에 관해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 본 연구는 아주대학교 병원 …

Interactions Between Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease on the Skeleton
… US, 15% of adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD). While CKD occurs across all ages, the prevalence is highest in the aged, with ~40% of individuals over age 65 having some form of CKD. CKD and aging are each independently associated with higher fracture risk, and thus overlaying CKD in the …

Approaches to Improve the Structure and Function of the Skeleton in Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) currently affects ~37 million Americans and causes substantially increased risk of skeletal fracture and fracture-related mortality. Current methods to treat CKD-related bone loss remain alarmingly ineffective. Skeletal fragility in CKD is predominately driven by …

Sickle cell trait and targeted genomic variants in chronic kidney disease an African cohort
Background Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), has a high and increasing burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Environmental factors that have been associated to CKD are associated with multiple co-morbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and HIV. Some genetics factors such APOL1 have been associated with the …

Adverse pregnancy outcomes and the long-term risk of maternal kidney disease
… the long-term risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in women who have experienced pregnancy complications. This thesis aims to examine associations between adverse pregnancy outcomes and the risk of maternal CKD and ESKD in later life. Structure and methods: …

Characterizing the Development of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Vitamin D Resistance in Experimental Chronic Kidney Disease
… Hallmarks of chronic kidney disease (CKD) include increased retention of phosphate (PO4) and decreased renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitaminD3 (calcitriol) from its precursor, 25-hydroxyvitaminD3 (calcifediol). Hyperphosphatemia and vitamin D deficiency in CKD stimulate excessive …

The impact of vascular calcification among dialysis dependent South African CKD patients. A five year follow up study. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, ethnic variation and hemodynamic correlates
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In Western countries, Blacks with ESRD appear to have lesser degrees of vascular calcification compared to non-Blacks. However, there is no published …

The role of diet therapy in chronic kidney disease
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function over time. Millions of adults have CKD and those who have diabetes, hypertension, and family history of kidney failure are at highest risk of its development. Patients may develop comorbidities, …

Cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease : are oculomotor tests an effective detection marker?
People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of developing cognitive impairment (CI) compared to the general population, in fact, it has been estimated that 60% of people with CKD are cognitively impaired. Despite this high percentage, there is no adequate screening process for …
