Dopamine in Chronic Renal Failure

American Journal of Hypertension, 1990
In patients with renal disease a reduced renal vasodilatory but conserved natriuretic response to dopamine is observed. An inverse relationship exists between baseline renal function and the dopamine-induced changes in effective renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate over a wide range of dopamine doses.

Voice in Chronic Renal Failure

Journal of Voice, 2010
Chronic renal failure affects various body systems, one of which is the respiratory system. Because respiration is the prime source for speech, vocal dysfunctions are expected to be present in patients with chronic renal failure. The present study attempts to shed light on the changes in acoustic and aerodynamic characteristics of voice, if any, in ...

Intussusception in Chronic Renal Failure

Archives of Surgery, 1976
Spontaneous intussusception in adults is rare. Recently, we managed two patients with chronic uremia in whom intussusception developed. Histologic examination of the resected segments showed intestinal intramural hemorrhage. We postulate that the coagulopathy associated with uremia may allow for intestinal intramural hemorrhage, thus forming a nidus ...

Nutrition in Chronic Renal Failure

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1956
Proper management of the patient with chronic renal failure entails a knowledge of how the normal kidney does its work, common kidney function tests and their differential value, chemical abnormalities in chronic renal failure, and chemical derangements in various types of renal disease. Functions of Normal Kidney The functional unit of the kidney is

Puberty in Chronic Renal Failure

Advances in Renal Replacement Therapy, 1999
Puberty is a period of transition characterized by a sequence of profound physical and psychological changes leading to full sexual maturity. This process is driven and orchestrated by the awakening of the gonadotropic hormone axis. Chronic renal failure and its treatment may interfere with the onset and progress of puberty by numerous mechanisms ...

Ultrasonography in chronic renal failure

European Journal of Radiology, 2003
Many chronic renal diseases lead to the final common state of decrease in renal size, parenchymal atrophy, sclerosis and fibrosis. The ultrasound image show a smaller kidney, thinning of the parenchyma and its hyperechogenicity (reflecting sclerosis and fibrosis). The frequency of renal cysts increases with the progression of the disease.

Anemia of Chronic Renal Failure

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
To the Editor.— In your editorial "Anemia of Chronic Renal Failure," ( 214 :1880, 1970), you have chosen to quote Boddy et al who find decreased intestinal absorption of radioactive iron in patients with chronic renal failure, implying that this may be one of several important mechanisms in the etiology of this anemia.

Melatonin in Chronic Renal Failure

Nephron, 2008
The melatonin status of patients in end-stage chronic renal failure (CRF) was evaluated by the determination of daytime plasma melatonin levels and by the investigation of the circadian rhythmicity of melatonin secretion. A significant increase in plasma melatonin concentration was found in all CRF patient groups investigated, i.e.

CATARACTS OF CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE

The Lancet, 1972
Abstract The development of cataracts as a complication of advanced renal failure is described in two patients. It is postulated that the cause is resistant severe hypocalcœmia of uraemia. A survey of twenty-one other patients in terminal renal failure or on dialysis revealed punctate stippling in half of them, possibly an early sign of hypocalcaemic ...

Endothelin in Chronic Renal Failure

Nephron, 2008
Plasma concentrations of IR endothelin are elevated in patients with chronic renal failure. But its exact causes have not been clarified. Hypertension may be one of the most important factors associated with elevated plasma IR endothelin concentrations, although it still remains to be determined whether hypertension is a result or a cause of the ...
