The Artificial Kidney in Chronic Renal Failure
Postgraduate Medicine, 1962Hemodialysis has proved valuable in improving and stabilizing patients in terminal chronic uremia.In this analysis of 71 patients in whom hemodialysis was used, the diagnosis and therapeutic response were definitely correlated. The highest percentage of favorable responses was obtained in cases of polycystic renal disease; none of the patients with ...

Hemolysis in a Patient With Alkaptonuria and Chronic Kidney Failure
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2010In alkaptonuria, the absence of homogentisic acid oxidase results in the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA) in the body. Fatal disease cases are infrequent, and death often results from kidney or cardiac complications. We report a 24-year-old alkaptonuric man with severe decreased kidney function who developed fatal metabolic acidosis and ...

Lung Calcifications and Chronic Kidney Failure
Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2007Pulmonary calcification is relatively uncommon and typically asymptomatic. A number of diseases are associated with this disorder, including chronic kidney failure, infections, and lung amyloidosis. There are, moreover, a number of conditions, such as hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, alkalosis, and alveolar damage, which predispose a patient to ...

Current Opinion in Nephrology & Hypertension, 2021
Purpose of review The objective of this review is to discuss if chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to chronic heart failure (CHF), and does worsening CHF lead to CKD progression and how a new medication class can modify the risk of both outcomes.

Leptin and lipid metabolism in chronic kidney failure
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2009In the general population, leptin has been associated with atherosclerosis and has been shown to interfere with lipoprotein profiles. Patients with chronic renal failure are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and display alterations in both lipoprotein and leptin levels.

Multicystic Transformation of Kidneys in Chronic Renal Failure
Nephron, 1984With real-time sonography, 120 nondialyzed uremic patients prior to hemodialysis, 108 patients on maintenance hemodialysis and 9 patients postdialysis after successful homotransplantation were examined for the presence of renal cysts. Even in incipient renal failure, multiple cysts were demonstrable in some patients (at a serum creatinine of 3 mg/dl in

Anemia and Heart Failure in Chronic Kidney Disease
Seminars in Nephrology, 2005Cardiovascular disease is mainly responsible for the poor long-term survival observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialytic treatment. Anemia is an early complication of CKD and, by inducing important cardiovascular alterations, first of all left ventricular hypertrophy, it does not only impair quality of life, but has also been shown to

Nutrition in Chronic Heart Failure With Coexisting Chronic Kidney Disease
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2006Patients with heart failure (HF) may be predisposed to malnutrition. Little is known about the nutritional status of patients with HF, particularly patients who have coexisting major medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease. The purposes of this study were to (1) describe the nutritional status of 211 patients with chronic HF, (2) examine ...
