Hepatitis B and C co-Infection are independent predictors of progressive kidney disease in HIV-positive, antiretroviral-treated adults [PDF]

, 2012
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-positive individuals. Hepatitis C (HCV) co-infection has been associated with increased risk of CKD, but prior studies lack information on potential mechanisms.

A novel nomogram to predict the reliability of estimated glomerular filtration rate formulae in oncology patients

BMC Cancer, 2020
Background Formulae of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (Scr) are routinely used in oncology patients, however, they are inaccurate in some populations. Our aim was to assess the agreement of eGFR formulae and thereby

Clinical and biochemical correlates of serum L-ergothioneine concentrations in community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Despite the increasing interest towards the biological role of L-ergothioneine, little is known about the serum concentrations of this unusual aminothiol in older adults. We addressed this issue in a representative sample of communitydwelling

Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease Severity on the Risk of Prurigo Nodularis: A Population-Based Cohort Study

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2022
While dialysis is linked with prurigo nodularis, little is known about the impact of non-dialysis chronic kidney disease on prurigo nodularis. The influence of chronic kidney disease on development of prurigo nodularis was measured using the Korean ...

Post-kidney donation glomerular filtration rate measurement and estimation

Nefrología (English Edition), 2021
Background: Long-term consequences associated with kidney donation are controversial. Pre- and post-donation glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) are determinants of renal and cardiovascular risk weighting.

Renal perfusion in scleroderma patients assessed by microbubble-based contrast-enhanced ultrasound [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Renal damage is common in scleroderma. It can occur acutely or chronically. Renal reserve might already be impaired before it can be detected by laboratory findings.

Glomerular Filtration Rate [PDF]

BMJ, 2006
Low glomerular filtration rate predicts cardiovascular disease, end stage renal disease (a requirement for dialysis or transplantation), and death.1 In a population based study reported in this week's issue, Hallan and colleagues describe the yield of different screening strategies aimed at identifying people with low glomerular filtration rates.1 The ...
