Low Na, high K diet and the role of aldosterone in BK-mediated K excretion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A low Na, high K diet (LNaHK) is associated with a low rate of cardiovascular (CV) disease in many societies. Part of the benefit of LNaHK relies on its diuretic effects; however, the role of aldosterone (aldo) in the diuresis is not understood.

Ferrotoxicity and Its Amelioration by Calcitriol in Cultured Renal Cells

Analytical Cellular Pathology, 2021
Globally, acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with significant mortality and an enormous economic burden. Whereas iron is essential for metabolically active renal cells, it has the potential to cause renal cytotoxicity by promoting Fenton chemistry ...

All Sugars are Not Sweet

Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine, 2021
Background: Extravasation is defined as the leakage of drugs from the vessel to the surrounding area with the potential to cause tissue necrosis. Such drugs (known as vesicants) that can extravasate include vasopressors, alkylating chemotherapeutic ...

Comparative effect of iso-osmolar versus low-osmolar contrast media on the incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in diabetic patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Cancer Imaging, 2019
Background Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a major adverse effect caused by intravascular administration of iodinated contrast medium. Whether there is a difference in CI-AKI incidence between iso-osmolar (IOCM) and low-osmolar contrast ...

Acute severe thrombocytopenia following non-ionic low-osmolarity intravenous contrast medium injection [PDF]

, 2012
Intravenous contrast medium (ICM) rarely induces anaphylactic reactions, including urticaria, hypotension and respiratory failure. Even the most modern ICM may cause such adverse events.
