Ren sanus in corpore sano: the myth of the inexorable decline of renal function with senescence.

PREGNANCY IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

 ABSTRACT Background: Correction of the uremic state by a functioning allograft often restores fertility in women of reproductive age. The rate of fertility significantly differs between industrial countries, developing and middle east countries. On the other hand the results of pregnancy in Kidney Transplantation (KTP) patients are significantly better than hemodialysis patients, and pregnancy...

RECOMBINANT HUMAN ERYTHROPO IETIN IN THE TRE ATMENT OF ANEMIA IN CHILDREN

We have used recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) in children with chronic renal failure. There was significant improvement in anemia and wellbeing, along with regression of left ventricular mass and no change in the rate of decline of renal function. It is safe and effective in the pre-dialysis as well as the hemodialysis period. Considering the benefits of r-HuEPO, transplantation i...

Doxorubicin and Doxorubicin-loaded Nanoliposome Triggers Hepatocyte Cells Senescence through Accumulation of Inflammatory Factors and Activation of P53

Background and purpose: Induction of cellular senescence is indicative of new strategy to prevent abnormal proliferation of cancer cells. Doxorubicin (DOX) is gaining attention for its neoplasia suppressive and inhibitory properties, but its clinical utility is limited due to irreversible effects on non-target cells/tissues. In this way, nanoliposomal structures were developed in drug delivery ...

Assessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT as compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan

Introduction: The selection of   optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...
