Characterizing Occupational Risk Factors and Kidney Function in Migrant Farm Workers
… heat-related injuries and illnesses such as kidney disease, are also expected to increase. An important epidemic that has been associated with heat stress is chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu). This epidemic is disproportionally affecting young agricultural workers with no …

Impact of minerals in Chinese medicinal herbs and decoctions on kidney function
Kidney function or renal function is essential and depends on the ability of the kidneys to filter the blood. Millions of people around the world suffer from kidney diseases, and these patients will eventually need a form of renal replacement therapy: dialysis or transplantation. Dialysis and …

Änderung der Nierenfunktion bei Patienten mit primär maligner Hypertonie und sekundär maligner Nephrosklerose im Vergleich zu Patienten mit Glomerulonephritis
… an important indicator for the possible loss of kidney function. In this retrospective long-term study, the kidney function of patients with malignant hypertension and resulting secondary malignant neprhosklerosis was compared to the kidney function of patients with glomerulonephritis and …

Newer renal efficiency tests and their value in diagnosis and prognosis
It is probable that, at the present day, the function of no organ in the body is being investigated by so many methods . in the course of hospital treatment, as that of the kidney. The large number of methods used is the result of the fact that there is no general consensus of opinion as to any one …

Longitudinal and survival statistical methods with applications in renal medicine
… 1) assessing the association of the underlying kidney function and the risk of survival events, 2) early detection of progression towards renal failure amongst primary care patients, and 3) long-term influences of acute kidney injury occurrences on the subsequent kidney function. Joint modelling …

Renal tubular secretion in chronic kidney disease: description, determinants, and outcomes
Background The presence and severity of chronic kidney disease are currently assessed by glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin excretion. Other kidney functions, such as proximal tubular secretion, are not typically quantified. Tubular secretion is capable of clearing metabolites from the …

Statistical analysis of renal function in patients with cancer
… approaches and analyses for the filtration function of the kidney in patients with cancer, using widely available clinical data. The filtration function of the kidney is reported as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Many clinical decisions, for example dose calculations for chemotherapy …

Investigations on extra- and intracellular retinol-binding proteins
… by several factors but mainly by liver and kidney function. The reason for that is that liver and the kidneys are the sites of RBP4 synthesis and catabolism, respectively. Interestingly, obesity and type 2 diabetes involve disorders of the liver and the kidneys. Therefore the aim was to …

Outcomes of patients transferred to the University of Michigan health system on a short-term ventricular assist device for cardiogenic shock
… analysis showed that younger age and better kidney function were prognostic variables in the patients’ 30-day and long-term survival. These factors improve the chances of a patient becoming a heart transplant candidate and increase the probability of long-term survival.</p>

The Prospects of Personalising Medicine
… use of racial categories in equations to predict kidney function and show that equations that include race in their estimations are inadequate at accurately predicting kidney function. In Chapter 4, I assess the underexplored reliability of what I call the ‘stratification strategy’. This strategy …

Renal and Cardiovascular Outcomes Associated with Cannabis Use in Veterans with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease Transitioning to Dialysis
… to cannabis use, including those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We expect increase in cannabis use, especially, in patients with compromised kidney function. However, there is sparse literature on the effects of cannabis use on cardiorenal and mortality outcomes among patients with advanced …

Different dietary approaches for the treatment of obesity and the phenotypic responses to these diets.
… risk factors, adipokines, liver and kidney function, and health and lifestyle factors were measured. Those with metabolic syndrome were also examined. It was hypothesised that there are alternative ways of treating obese subjects depending on their phenotype. Those with a higher BMI …

Simple Tests for Assessing Kidney and Cardiovascular Function in Chromic Kidney Disease Patients (Stages 2, 3 and 4)
… making and forms the basis of classification for kidney function. Moreover the interpretation of risk factors for progression of CKD linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains difficult, particularly in older subjects. To address this GFR and the cardiovascular parameters arterial stiffness, …

The Role of Daam1 In Kidney Development
<p>Kidneys, like most organs in our bodies, consist of a network of epithelial tubules. Kidney tubules are called nephrons, and their morphology is important for kidney function. Nephrons develop from mesodermally derived aggregates of progenitor cells. The nephric progenitors organize into nephric …

Association of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Use with Kidney and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients
… in reducing cardiovascular events and improving kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes. Due to these hopeful improvements, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have started using GLP-1RA. However, their effects in KTRs remain largely unstudied in clinical studies. This thesis uses a …
