Design of Beta-2 Microglobulin Adsorbent Protein Nanoparticles

Biomolecules, 2023
Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) is an immune system protein that is found on the surface of all nucleated human cells. B2M is naturally shed from cell surfaces into the plasma, followed by renal excretion.

Descending thoracic aorta–abdominal aortic bypass and bilateral renal arterial blood circulation reconstruction are effective in atypical coarctation of the aorta with heart failure: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021
Background There are a lot of reports of the renal failure and heart failure due to coarctation of the aorta. However, there are no case reports in which revascularization dramatically improved left ventricular function in patients with progressive ...

The renal transport of hippurate and protein‐bound solutes

Physiological Reports, 2020
Measurement of the concentration of hippurate in the inferior vena cava and renal blood samples performed in 13 subjects with normal or near‐normal serum creatinine concentrations confirmed the prediction that endogenous hippurate was cleared on a single

Associations of Smoking with Alterations in Renal Hemodynamics May Depend on Sex- Investigations in Potential Kidney Donors

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background/Aims: Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for renal damage, but little is known about subclinical effects of smoking on renal hemodynamics and parameters of renal function in humans.

Aggravated Cardiac Remodeling post Aortocaval Fistula in Unilateral Nephrectomized Rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Aortocaval fistula (AV) in rat is a unique model of volume-overload congestive heart failure and cardiac hypertrophy. Living donor kidney transplantation is regarded as beneficial to allograft recipients and not particularly detrimental to the donors ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Derived Renal Oxygenation and Perfusion During Continuous, Steady‐State Angiotensin‐II Infusion in Healthy Humans

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe role of kidney hypoxia is considered pivotal in the progression of chronic kidney disease. A widely used method to assess kidney oxygenation is blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD)–magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but its interpretation ...

Serum Uromodulin, a Potential Biomarker of Tubulointerstitial Damage, Correlates Well with Measured GFR and ERPF in Patients with Obstructive Nephropathy

Medicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: In chronic kidney obstruction, the severity of tubulointerstitial damage correlates best with the loss of kidney function and the risk for progression to end-stage kidney disease.

The role of RENAL, PADUA, C-index, CSA nephrometry systems in predicting ipsilateral renal function after partial nephrectomy

BMC Urology, 2019
Background Functional outcome is an important issue in nephron-sparing surgery. Various nephrometries have been developed to predict renal function preservation.

Evaluation of Renal Tissue Oxygenation Using Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Chronic Kidney Disease

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2021
Background: Blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) has been widely used to assess renal oxygenation changes in different kidney diseases in recent years. This study was designed to evaluate and compare renal tissue oxygenation

Effect of non-pulsatile renal blood flow on plasma erythropoietin [PDF]

American Journal of Hematology, 1998
Erythropoietin is a hormone responsible for regulation of red blood cell production. Circulating erythropoietin values are regulated by renal oxygen supply, which is determined by hemoglobin concentration, hemoglobin oxygen saturation, and renal blood flow.
