Determination of residual renal function with iohexol clearance in hemodialysis patients

Residual Renal Function in Hemodialysis Patients

Association Between Hypertension and Residual Renal Function in Hemodialysis Patients

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in hemodialysis patients. The decline of residual renal function increases the prevalence and severity of risk factors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients. Hypertension is common in dialysis patients and represents an important independent factor of survival in these patients. Methods. The study include...

Sonographic measurement of renal size in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis: Correlation with residual renal function

Previous studies have reported that renal size may change when the function is compromised. However, it is not known whether sonographically measured renal size reflects the residual renal function (RRF) in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. A total of 140 patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (≥3 months) were investigated in the present study. The patients were divided into two group...

Vascular calcification and cardiac function according to residual renal function in patients on hemodialysis with urination

BACKGROUND 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 hemodialysis. METHODS This study was conducted between January 2014 and January 2017. One hundred six patients with residual renal function...

Iohexol Clearance for Determination of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Rats Induced to Acute Renal Failure

INTRODUCTION The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered an especially important tool for the measurement of renal function. Inulin clearance (InCl) is the classic reference method for this purpose, although it is associated with a number of disadvantages; thus, other markers have been proposed, including iohexol. Determination of iohexol clearance (IoCl) has been established for clinica...
