Abstract Background Lupus nephritis can be seen in up to 60% of all SLE patients with 10–15% progressing end-stage renal disease; late diagnosis lupus is correlated a higher frequency insufficiency. The study aim determination the value urinary human epidermal growth factor (urinary EGF) as an early biomarker and its relevance disease activity histopathology. Results included 58 30 healthy cont...

It is unknown whether systemic endothelial dysfunction underlies the association between nephropathy and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Spot urine protein to creatinine ratio, spot urine albumin to creatinine ratio, creatinine clearance, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery were e...

Sevoflurane and isoflurane are volatile halogenated ether widely used in anesthesia. Both have comparable potency and easy titratability but sevoflurane has lower pungency and results in faster patient recovery. Isoflurane, however, is more affordable. The nephrotoxicity of sevoflurane is undisputed but studies on isoflurane nephrotoxicity are lacking. The objective of this paper is to determin...

Creatinine amidohydrolase(EC 3.5.2.10) catalyzes the reversible conversion of creatinine to creatine. Creatininase in combination with other enzymes is used for detection of creatinine in serum and urine which is of significant value for detection of renal, muscular and thyroid functions. The aim of this study was to produce recombinant creatininase enzyme in E.coli expression system to use it ...

Background: The term “chronic kidney disease (CKD)” refers to a variety of pathophysiologic conditions characterized by impaired function and steady fall in glomerular filtration rate. CKD is slowly progressive silent epidemic that affects approximately 12% the world population. Aims Objectives: aim study was estimate level serum Hepcidin patients with compared healthy controls. Materials Metho...

Background: Delayed graft function is a main complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation that adversely affects graft outcome. Difficulties in prediction and early detection of delayed graft function have hindered the ability to perform proper therapeutic interventions. We investigated whether measuring urinary interleukin 18 and neutrophi...
