Carbamylated hemoglobin (Carb Hb) levels were measured in 16 patients with a documented transient rise in BUN due to prerenal azotemia, in whom BUN levels before and after the episode were normal. They were compared with 13 controls. Carb Hb was expressed as carbamyl valine concentrations, which
To delineate the potential role of disordered glucose and glucose-precursor kinetics in the abnormal carbohydrate metabolism of chronic renal failure, alanine and glucose production and utilization and gluconeogenesis from alanine were studied in patients with chronic compensated renal insufficiency
Metabolic complications from overfeeding critically ill patients are serious and sometimes fatal. Nutrition care is best provided through repeated evaluation of patients' responses to feeding. Nutrition support may need to be modified over time to maintain metabolic stability and promote recovery.
Malnutrition, following critical illness-related metabolic and immune neuroendocrine derangements, is exacerbated by energy and protein deficits beginning early in the intensive care unit (ICU) stay. While nutrition support is an important component of ICU care, adverse effects can occur.
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with malnutrition and renal tissue accumulation of lipids, which can contribute to progression of renal disease. This study was designed to explore the effect of a high-calorie diet on pathways involved in lipid metabolism in the remnant kidney of rats with
Diuretics are among the most frequently prescribed drugs. They enjoy a very high clinical reputation for safety and efficacy. However, more than 3 decades of clinical investigation have disclosed a number of abnormalities in fluid electrolyte handling, metabolism, and other adverse effects that can
Severe diseases of different etiology are generally accompanied by significant neurohumoral stress and catabolism. The use of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) regulates the rate of protein and carbohydrate catabolism, retards increasing azotemia, thus normalizing protein metabolism.
BACKGROUND
In earlier studies we found that a high-fat, high-energy diet (HFED) attenuates proteinuria, azotemia and lipid accumulation in the remnant kidney of rats subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy. This study was conducted to explore the mechanism of the salutary effect of HFED in association with
For its specific qualitative characteristics human donor milk (DM) is the main alternative to preterm infants nutrition and growing. How several studies suggest child's physical and mental development is influenced by breastfeeding that prevents the necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of
By continuous parenteral administration of carbohydrates, combined with essential amino acids and L-histidine, a significant improvement in urea nitrogen and plasma protein metabolism could be obtained in 24 patients during the first ten days after abdominal surgery. A comparable control group of 15
A modified Giordano-Giovanetti diet has a beneficial therapeutic effect in the treatment of azotemia and uremia. The diet is capable of maintaining nitrogenous equilibrium for a long period of time. However, the chemical composition of the diet does not meet iron requirements of patients with
Twenty-three patients older than 50 years, with systolic hypertension, underwent hemodynamic study. Cardiac output and stroke volume varied widely, with several high values. An elevated systemic vascular resistance, when considered as a function of the cardiac output, was the most prevalent
OBJECTIVE
To provide an overview of findings on the role of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the pathophysiology, pathobiochemistry, and treatment of liver cirrhosis and its complications that have been published since or were not included in the last review on this topic in 2007 in this
A significant reduction of renal mass results in proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, and tubulointerstitial injury, culminating in end-stage chronic renal failure (CRF). The accumulation of lipids in the kidney can cause renal disease. Uptake of oxidized lipoproteins via scavenger receptors,
