Measurement of effective renal plasma flow using model analysis of dynamic CT in the preoperative evaluation of the renal transplant donors [PDF]
Fujita Medical Journal, 2020 Objectives: Renal scintigraphy is widely used to evaluate residual function of a transplanted kidney from the donor. Dynamic computed tomography (CT) imaging can evaluate both kidney morphology and regional renal function.

Simultaneous Measurement of Glomerular Filtration Rate, Effective Renal Plasma Flow and Tubular Secretion in Different Poultry Species by Single Intravenous Bolus of Iohexol and Para-Aminohippuric Acid [PDF]
Animals, 2020 The aim of the current study was to investigate the simultaneous measurement of plasma p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) clearance as a potential marker to assess effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) and tubular secretion (TS), and the plasma clearance of iohexol

Assessing the kidney function parameters glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow with dynamic FDG-PET/MRI in healthy subjects [PDF]
EJNMMI Research, 2018 Background A method was developed to assess the kidney parameters glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) from 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) concentration behavior in kidneys, measured with positron emission ...

Equation Predicts Renal Function after Nephroureterectomy to Treat Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma [PDF]
International Brazilian Journal of UrologyPurpose: A preoperative tool is warranted to predict renal function after radical nephroureterectomy, as this would optimize treatment plans and avoid postoperative end-stage renal disease.

Overexpression of Soluble Fibrinogen-like Protein 2 in MSCs Ameliorates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice by Modulating Neutrophils [PDF]
Balkan Medical JournalBackground: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of graft dysfunction and failure, driving inflammation and tissue damage. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess therapeutic potential due to their immunomodulatory properties.

Predicting Pharmacokinetics of Drugs in Patients with Heart Failure and Optimizing Their Dosing Strategies Using a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model [PDF]
PharmaceuticsBackground: Heart failure (HF), as the end stage of various cardiac diseases, alters blood flow to key organs responsible for drug clearance. This can lead to unpredictable and often suboptimal drug exposure, creating a critical need for quantitative ...
