Stroke in chronic renal failure
Orvosi Hetilap, 2008Chronic kidney diseases and cardiovascular diseases have several common risk factors like hypertension and diabetes. In chronic renal disease stroke risk is several times higher than in the average population. The combination of classical risk factors and those characteristic of chronic kidney disease might explain this increased risk.

Intussusception in Chronic Renal Failure
Archives of Surgery, 1976Spontaneous 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 ...

Melatonin in Chronic Renal Failure
Nephron, 1992The 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.

Ultrasonography in chronic renal failure
European Journal of Radiology, 2003Many 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.

Adaptation to chronic renal failure
Psychosomatics, 1978Abstract The author's clinical experience in a large dialysis unit over a five-year period is described, with emphasis on the psychiatric aspects of long-term adaptation. Because the inevitable stresses of renal failure tend to restrict the patient's communication with other people, emotional difficulties can remain hidden in patients who appear to ...

Haemolysis in Chronic Renal Failure
Nephron, 1982In a group of patients with a range of degree of advancement of renal failure, the red cell survival estimated as the half-life of radiochromium-labelled red blood cells (T1/2. 51Cr) was correlated with several indices of renal failure. The T1/2. 51Cr was not improved by a dialysis programme which was otherwise adequate. Furthermore, the correlation of
