Beta-trace protein as a potential biomarker of residual renal function in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
BMC Nephrology, 2021 Background Residual renal function is closely linked to quality of life, morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Beta-trace protein (BTP), a low molecular weight protein, has been suggested as marker of residual renal function, in particular in ...

Hemodialysis-induced renal perfusion decline: unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms linking intradialytic circulatory stress to residual renal function loss [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyBackgroundResidual renal function (RRF) plays a critical role in quality of life and survival in hemodialysis (HD) patients but characteristically declines after the initiation of HD.

Vascular calcification and cardiac function according to residual renal function in patients on hemodialysis with urination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Vascular calcification is common and may affect cardiac function in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, little is known about the effect of residual renal function on vascular calcification and cardiac function in patients on ...

The impact of low-protein diet on residual renal function in dialysis patients: a systematic review and metaanalysis [PDF]
BMC NephrologyObjective A low-protein diet is essential for the nutritional management of chronic kidney diseases as it can reduce renal burden. However, the effect of low-protein diets on dialysis patients compared to pre-dialysis patients remains unclear. This study

Does Cystatin C have a role as metabolic surrogate in peritoneal dialysis beyond its association with residual renal function? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2019 Introduction: It has been suggested that cystatin C levels are modified by obesity and inflammation. Furthermore, cystatin C has been associated with cardiovascular events and mortality outcomes.

Screening and prognostic roles of renal volumetry and scintigraphy in the assessment of living kidney transplant donors, considering the early recovery of the residual renal function [PDF]
BMC NephrologyBackground The existing criteria for living kidney donors (LKDs)in Japan are controversial. We evaluated the roles of computed tomography volumetry (CTV) and 99 m Tc-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) scintigraphy in assessing preoperative and ...

Allopurinol effects on residual renal function in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: Randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Journal of Research in Pharmacy Practice, 2019 Objective: There is increasing evidence to show that hyperuricemia may have a pathogenic role in the progression of renal diseases. We performed a prospective, randomized, controlled trial to investigate the renal effects of allopurinol treatment in ...
