An Attempt to Describe the Features of Patients with Chronic Renal Failure and the Factors Associated with this Disease Among Hemodialysis Patients in A Hospital in Tehran in 2016
Background and Objectives: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is an irreversible disorder of the renal function. The aim of this study was to describe the features of patients with chronic renal failure and the factors associated with this disease among hemodialysis patients in a hospital in Tehrn in 2016. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, patients presenting to the hemodialysis...
متن کاملLow Nephron Number and Its Clinical Consequences
Epidemiologic studies now strongly support the hypothesis, proposed over two decades ago, that developmental programming of the kidney impacts an individual's risk for hypertension and renal disease in later life. Low birth weight is the strongest current clinical surrogate marker for an adverse intrauterine environment and, based on animal and human studies, is associated with a low nephron nu...
متن کاملNephron number, renal function, and arterial pressure in aged GDNF heterozygous mice.
The loss of one allele for glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) results in approximately 30% fewer but normal sized glomeruli in young mice. Low nephron number, inherited or acquired, has been linked to increased risk of development of hypertension and renal failure. This study examines whether GDNF heterozygous mice, with an inherent reduction in nephron number, demonstrate a det...
متن کاملEpidemiological Characteristics and Causes of End-stage Renal Disease in Hemodialysis Patients
Background and aims: Hemodialysis (HD) is considered as the main method of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in many countries including Iran. Given the limited number of epidemiological studies in this regard at the provincial level across the country, the present study aimed to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of ESRD patie...
متن کاملEstimation of total glomerular number using an integrated disector method in embryonic and postnatal kidneys
Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) are a polymorphic group of clinical disorders comprising the major cause of renal failure in children. Included within CAKUT is a wide spectrum of developmental malformations ranging from renal agenesis, renal hypoplasia and renal dysplasia (maldifferentiation of renal tissue), each characterized by varying deficits in nephron number....
متن کاملA common variant of the PAX2 gene is associated with reduced newborn kidney size.
Congenital nephron number ranges widely in the human population. Suboptimal nephron number may be associated with increased risk for essential hypertension and susceptibility to renal injury, but the factors that set nephron number during kidney development are unknown. In renal-coloboma syndrome, renal hypoplasia and reduced nephron number are due to heterozygous mutations of the PAX2 gene. Th...
