The renal effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Prostaglandins play many important roles in the kidney including regulation of renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, renin release, and sodium excretion. Upon activation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), prostaglandin upregulation becomes critical to offset the vasoconstrictive …

Pathology of uremic vascular diseases: calciphylaxis and arteriovenous fistula
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts millions of people in the world, and those diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at a higher risk of mortality. Accumulated uremic toxins increases the risks of CVD in CKD patients and symptoms of CVD include endothelial injury, inflammatory reaction, …

Effects of inulin supplementation on markers of mineral and bone metabolism and the gut microbiota in hemodialysis patients
Up to 80% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have some degree of mineral and bone disorder (MBD), which is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, specifically from cardiovascular causes. Despite the pharmacological treatment for MBD, its prevalence remains high, especially for …

Components of Oral Health in End-stage Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Chronic Dialysis Treatment /// Компоненти на орално здраве при пациенти в терминален стадий на хронично бъбречно заболяване на хрониодиализно лечение
[EN] Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a global health issue with a rising prevalence - a clinical-laboratory syndrome, occurring as a result of progressive loss of renal function and failure for months or years. Due to the underlying disease and long dialysis treatment, end-stage CKD …

A Stem Cell-Based Strategy for Modeling Human Kidney Disease and Discovering Novel Therapeutics
<p>Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a degenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide and there are no targeted therapeutics. Given the global burden and increasing prevalence of CKD, the kidneys represent an attractive target for regenerative medicine. The most severe forms of CKD …

Tissue Sodium in CKD Patients
… Sodium hemostasis is 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 …

Programa de educação nutricional como alternativa para prevenção e tratamento da desnutrição em pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. CKD is currently considered a public health problem. According to the Brazilian Society of Nephrology (2012), 97.586 million patients are on dialysis, and 63.6% are between 19 …

Assessing cognitive dysfunction in the hemodialysis population
Patients with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis treatment experience cognitive impairment due to a variety of risk factors; most of which stem from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the dialysis process itself. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in cognitive …

Extended electrocardiographic monitoring in patients on chronic haemodialysis and after renal transplantation
Background Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and chronic haemodialysis are associated with cardiovascular disease. Despite the increased risk of sudden cardiac death, few studies to date have described the burden of arrhythmias in this population. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, …

Normalization of Cerebral Blood Flow, Neurochemicals, and White Matter Integrity After Kidney Transplantation
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with abnormalities in cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral neurochemical concentrations and white matter integrity, each of which are associated with adverse clinical consequences in the non-CKD population, and may explain the high prevalence of …
