Parathyroidectomy in chronic renal failure
The American Journal of Surgery, 1994A subset of patients who are being maintained on dialysis for end-stage renal disease develop severely symptomatic secondary hyperparathyroidism that cannot be controlled medically. The relative merits of two alternative surgical approaches--subtotal parathyroidectomy versus total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation--have not been clearly ...

Hypertension in chronic renal failure
Journal of Hypertension, 2001Introduction. When compared with essential arterial hypertension, the incidence of secondary arterial hypertension is low (8-10%), but it can be cured by surgery in the case of renovascular hypertension, renin producing tumors, coartaction of the aorta and some types of suprarenal gland diseases.

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 ...

Puberty in Chronic Renal Failure
Advances in Renal Replacement Therapy, 1999Puberty 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 ...

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

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.

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.

PARATHYROIDECTOMY IN CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1986Between 1978 and 1984, 19 patients at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) underwent parathyroidectomy for secondary (renal) hyperparathyroidism. This represented 6.0% of the overall dialysis population treated at RPH during this period of time. The mean duration of pre‐operative dialysis for these 19 patients was 48 months, compared with a mean duration of 30 ...

Endothelin in chronic renal failure
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1992The aims of the present study were to determine plasma endothelin (ET) in chronically uraemic patients, the renal clearance of endogenous ET in normal dog and man, and the effect of acute volaemic expansion on ET. The mean plasma ET concentration in haemodialysis patients was 57.5 +/- 5 pg/ml before haemodialysis and remained unchanged at 52.5 +/- 5 pg/

Hyperlipidemia of Chronic Renal Failure
Blood Purification, 1994Plasma triglycerides are increased in the majority of patients with advanced renal failure but cholesterol is not. HDL cholesterol is reduced while LDL IDL and VLDL cholesterol is increased. Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), an enzyme necessary for HDL maturation, is reduced in chronic renal failure (CRF).
