Serum parathyroid hormone levels and renal handling of phosphorus in patients with chronic renal disease [PDF]
In eight patients with advanced renal insufficiency (inulin clearance 1.4-9.1 ml/min), concentrations of serum calcium (S[Ca]) and phosphorus (S[P]) were maintained normal (S[Ca] > 9.0 mg/100 ml, (S[P] < 3.5 mg/100 ml) for at least 20 consecutive days ...

Evaluation of Canine Pancreas-Specific Lipase Activity, Lipase Activity, and Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity in an Experimental Model of Acute Kidney Injury in Dogs. [PDF]
BackgroundDiagnosis of pancreatitis in dogs is complicated by extrapancreatic disorders that can alter the results of laboratory tests. Extrapancreatic disorders can also affect the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Associated With Hemodialysis for End-Stage Renal Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiac insufficiency often co-exist, particularly in uremic patients on hemodialysis (HD). The occurrence of abnormal renal function in patients with cardiac insufficiency is often indicative of a poor prognosis.

Histiocytosis X and renal insufficiency [PDF]
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disordershowing a wide spectrum of clinical manifestationsranging from single cutaneous lesions to multifocalsystemic disease [1,2]. The typical infiltration consistsof pathological monoclonal Langerhans cells togetherwith lymphocytes, eosinophilic granulocytes and non-dendritic histiocytes [3].

Use of Antihypertensive Agents and Association With Risk of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease: Focus on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers. [PDF]
Background Our objective was to determine patterns of antihypertensive agent use by stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to evaluate the association between different classes of antihypertensive agents with nonrenal outcomes, especially in advanced ...

Antithrombin III/SerpinC1 insufficiency exacerbates renal ischemia/reperfusion injury
Antithrombin III, encoded by SerpinC1, is a major anti-coagulation molecule in vivo and has anti-inflammatory effects. We found that patients with low antithrombin III activities presented a higher risk of developing acute kidney injury after cardiac ...

Inflammation and nutrition in renal insufficiency
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) and inflammation are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and worsen as the CKD progresses toward the end-stage renal disease (ESRD). These conditions are major predictors of poor clinical outcome in kidney failure, as reflected by a strong association between hypoalbuminemia and cardiovascular disease (

Vitamin D, a modulator of musculoskeletal health in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
The spectrum of activity of vitamin D goes beyond calcium and bone homeostasis, and growing evidence suggests that vitamin D contributes to maintain musculoskeletal health in healthy subjects as well as in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD ...
