OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of hypertension, obesity, hematuria, and proteinuria among healthy adolescents and to determine the associated risk factors.
METHODS
This is a cross-sectional study of 8 intermediate schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between March 2015 and June 2015. Samples were
Over the past decade, the percentage of children who are obese has rapidly increased. As weight has been shown to correlate strongly with the size of various organs, we have observed that obese children have larger kidneys than their normal-weight counterparts. This study sought to quantify this
BACKGROUND
Children with post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) rapidly recover and have excellent long-term outcomes. After encountering several overweight/obese children with persistent urinary abnormalities during recovery from PIGN, we conducted this retrospective study to determine if
Metabolic syndrome, such as obesity and hyperglycemia, are associated with kidney stones, and there is an association between body mass index (BMI) and urolithiasis. Treatment of urinary calculi in obese patients is not rare, but radiography images are often unclear. Here we report a case of a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship among obesity, cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRFs), and plasma complement C3 concentration in children and adolescents.
METHODS
In a nationwide survey conducted between 1992 and 2000, all school children aged 6-18 yr with abnormal results in
To determine the prevalence of high blood pressure (BP) in healthy school Pakistani children and its association with high body mass index (BMI), asymptomatic hematuria and proteinuria, we studied 661 public school children and measured their body weight, height and BP and urine dipstick for
BACKGROUND
Obesity is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We compared the body composition of pediatric nephrology patients with that of the general child population over 2 decades.
METHODS
About 4,959 patients above 2 years of age (mean: 9.6 +/- 4.5) were referred to a
OBJECTIVE
To assess the outcome and safety of tubeless percutaneous renal surgery in overweight and obese patients.
METHODS
A single urologist performed tubeless percutaneous renal surgery on a total of 138 renal units in 133 patients from March 1996 to January 2003. The tubeless procedures
Obese patients are known to have greater risks to develop hypertension, coronary vascular disease, and insulin resistance, and more attention has been recently paid to the impact of obesity on kidney. This study was conducted to investigate whether obese children have higher risk of renal injury as
Introduction Obesity is a social disease constituting a global pandemic. It is present in 90% of diabetic and 65% of hypertensive patients. It is associated with cardiometabolic syndrome and with damaging physiopathological mechanisms, particularly for the vascular system and the kidneys. On Cuba's
UNASSIGNED
Tamoxifen is a medication often used for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. It is classically associated with several gynecological side effects to include a thickened endometrial stripe, increased uterine polyp formation, and an increased risk of uterine cancer. Rarely
The pathological role of obesity has rarely been studied in primary glomerular diseases. The purpose of this study is to examine the clinicopathological influence of obesity in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). 74 patients with IgA nephropathy in our institution from October 2000 to January 2004 were
A 45-year-old obese man presented with persistent hematuria for 21 years. At the age of 37, he developed hypertension and proteinuria which later increased up to 1.6 g/g creatinine. Kidney biopsy revealed thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), which
There is experimental evidence but very few human studies that suggest a role for obesity in the formation and progression of some glomerular lesions. We report the case of a morbidly obese male with hematuria and proteinuria that was subsequently diagnosed with renal failure which required
A 5.5-y-old spayed female ferret (Mustela putorius furo) with a history of adrenal disease, respiratory disease, and chronic obesity was evaluated for progressive lethargy and ataxia, diminished appetite, and possible polyuria and polydipsia. Physical examination revealed obesity, lethargy,
