Renal impairment in a rural African antiretroviral programme [PDF]
Background: There is little knowledge regarding the prevalence and nature of renal impairment in African populations initiating antiretroviral treatment, nor evidence to inform the most cost effective methods of screening for renal impairment.

Rolofylline, an adenosine A1−receptor antagonist, in acute heart failure [PDF]
Background: Worsening renal function, which is associated with adverse outcomes, often develops in patients with acute heart failure. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that counterregulatory responses mediated by adenosine may be involved. We

Ornipressin in the treatment of functional renal failure in decompensated liver cirrhosis [PDF]
In 11 patients with decompensated cirrhosis and deteriorating renal function, the effect of the vasoconstrictor substance 8-ornithin vasopressin (ornipressin; POR 8; Sandoz, Basel, Switzerland) on renal function, hemodynamic parameters, and humoral ...

An Analysis of Early Renal Transplant Protocol Biopsies - the High Incidence of Subclinical Tubulitis [PDF]
To investigate the possibility that we have been underestimating the true incidence of acute rejection, we began to perform protocol biopsies after kidney transplantation. This analysis looks at the one-week biopsies. Between March 1 and October 1, 1999,

Cardiovascular disease biomarkers are associated with declining renal function in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: We investigated whether biochemical cardiovascular risk factors and/or markers of subclinical cardiovascular disease were associated with the development of reduced renal function in people with type 2 diabetes.

Variations in Arterial Blood Pressure after Kidney Transplantation [PDF]
The course of hypertension within the first 2 months after kidney transplantation was correlated with renal function, plasma renin activity (PRA), and the daily maintenance dose of prednisone in 18 homograft recipients.

Tissue typing by unidirectional mixed lymphocyte culture. 3. The relationship of in vitro lymphocyte compatibility to renal allograft rejection [PDF]
We applied unidirectional MLC test to renal allograft in dogs, and investigated the correlation between the growth rates of MLC reaction and the intensity of rejection of the kidney transplants or the postoperative renal function.

Identification of molecular markers of delayed graft function based on the regulation of biological ageing [PDF]
Introduction: Delayed graft function is a prevalent clinical problem in renal transplantation for which there is no objective system to predict occurrence in advance.

Prognostic Factors of Renal Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]
Background/Aims: Renal involvement is common in systemic sclerosis (SSc), including asymptomatic reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), increased renal resistance indices, scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) and ANCA-associated vasculitis. The aim was
