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

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2018 It has been verified that the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is related to renal function. This study aimed to investigate the association of RDW with the residual renal function in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

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 ...

Comparison of the impact of high-flux dialysis on mortality in hemodialysis patients with and without residual renal function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: The effect of flux membranes on mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients is controversial. Residual renal function (RRF) has shown to not only be as a predictor of mortality but also a contributor to β2-microglobulin clearance in HD patients ...

Loss of Residual Renal Function in Patients on Regular Haemodialysis
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 1989 The literature offers scant data on loss of residual renal function in chronic haemodialysis patients. The present study was undertaken in 34 patients, to evaluate residual creatinine clearances (C Cr ) before the start of haemodialysis and after 3, 12 and 24 months. C Cr

Residual renal function in incremental dialysis. [PDF]
Clin Kidney J, 2018 Incremental haemodialysis has the potential to allow better preservation of renal function, is less invasive to the patient and has lower cost. Despite these advantages, it is not commonly applied. This may be due to uncertainty about how to account for renal function in the prescription of dialysis and measurement of dose.

Residual renal function in incremental haemodialysis. [PDF]
Clin Kidney J, 2018 Equivalent renal clearance (EKR) and standard clearance (stdK) are continuous-equivalent measures of urea clearance and include residual renal function (RRF), if calculated appropriately. RRF is qualitatively better than dialysis with equivalent urea clearance.

Residual renal function: a paradigm shift [PDF]
Kidney International, 2017 Residual renal function (RRF) in patients undergoing dialysis treatments is currently viewed as glomerular filtrate that has escaped tubular reabsorption. RRF has been quantified as a clearance of urea or creatinine, or urea + creatinine. A major paradigm shift has followed the recognition that a substantial number of organic anion retention solutes ...
