BACKGROUND We assessed levels of circulating amino acids in different etiologies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the association of amino acids with risk factors of CKD progression. MATERIAL AND METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography-based analysis was used to determine amino acid
BACKGROUND
Anemia in patients with early diabetes mellitus nephrosclerosis (DMN) is more severe than in patients with kidney disease of other origins, and the mechanism for this remains unclear. In this study, we carried out a retrospective study in order to identify the factors associated with
Seventeen cases of hypertensive nephropathy with azotemia (test group) treated with Zhengan Xifeng Decoction (ZGXFI) and routine regimen of Western Medicine were observed. The result was compared with that of 15 cases treated with routine regimen alone (control group). After 3 months of treatment,
Arterial hypertension-related renal damage is an increasingly common problem recently, because approximately 25% of patients currently treated with dialysis were hypertensive before renal replacement therapy was started. Hypertension is also known as a metabolic disease, while carbohydrate, purine
The pathophysiological features of nephrosclerosis may be analogous to those of atherosclerosis, which is intimately related to lipid metabolism. Thus, we examined whether a lipid-lowering agent, pravastatin, would ameliorate renal damage in hypertensive model animals. Salt-loaded Dahl
The effects of MPC-1304, a newly developed 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative, on blood pressure and hypertensive complications in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a high-salt diet (0.8% NaCl), were investigated. The antihypertensive effectiveness of nicardipine was used for the purpose
The impact of several demographic and blood biochemistry factors on the pharmacokinetics of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine were studied in 187 patients with uremia. All patients underwent a pharmacokinetic evaluation including a 3 mg/kg intravenous dose of cyclosporine and a 14 mg/kg oral
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the changes in serum pepsinogen (PG) I/II ratio induced by Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and assess the value of PG I/II test in evaluating organ damages in hypertensive patients.
METHODS
The serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and PG
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is known to alter levels of pepsinogens (PG) and is correlated with several disease states, including gastric and cardiovascular diseases. This study sought to assess whether Hp infection is associated with hypertension as well as to identify the value of assessing
Increasing experimental and clinical evidence suggests that lipoproteins and lipid peroxidation can be important modulators in progressive kidney disease. A group of 54 patients with varying degrees of kidney impairment was studied to find the abnormalities in lipoproteins and lipid peroxidation.
The antihypertensive effect of bopindolol, a long-acting beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, was investigated in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). One group received tap water during the period of 8 to 32 weeks of age. The average dose of bopindolol administered was calculated from
BACKGROUND
Diabetic nephrosclerosis is the most common cause of renal failure in the industrialized countries. At the same time, the mortality rate of patients with diabetes mellitus is high.
METHODS
To clarify the factors influencing the prognosis and survival of patients with diabetic
BACKGROUND
The treatment of inoperable patients in terminal stages of chronic arterial occlusive disease is difficult and associated with high incidence of limb amputations and lethal outcomes [1]. Prostacyclin (Pgl2) is a strong vasodilator and the most potent endogenous platelet aggregation
Among 346 nondiabetic patients receiving long-term hemodialysis, cardiovascular mortality was higher in white than in black men (P less than 0.02) but was similar between black and white women, despite the higher incidence of nephrosclerosis in black men and women (59 and 58 per cent vs. 8 and 10
In order to evaluate the prognostic factors concerning the rate of progressive deterioration of renal function, we made an inductive analysis of the behaviour of 456 patients in a multicentre, formal prospective trial aimed at clarifying the possible role of protein restriction in retarding the
