Renal handling of potassium in dogs with chronic renal insufficiency

Kidney International, 1981
The dynamics of potassium excretion were examined in normal dogs and dogs with chronic renal insufficiency of at least 4 weeks' duration (remnant model). All animals, in balance on diets providing 15, 50, or 100 mEq of potassium and 100 mEq of sodium, were challenged with 50 mEq of potassium chloride.

Nanocarrier‐Based Targeting of Pattern Recognition Receptors as an Innovative Strategy for Enhancing Sepsis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent progress in nanocarriers targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll‐like and NOD‐like receptors, for enhancing the treatment of bacterial sepsis and related complications. These nanomedicines deliver antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents while modulating immune responses.

Chronic renal transplantation: a model for the hyperhomocysteinemia of renal insufficiency

Atherosclerosis, 2001
Renal transplant recipients (RTR) are considered representative of patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) in general with respect to both reduced, progressively declining renal function, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In accord with this argument, we hypothesized that total (t) plasma concentrations of the putatively ...
