the present study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of cystone syrup in an experimental model of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (arf) in rats. biochemical parameters, kidney weight and histopathological evaluation were performed to conclude the beneficial effect of cystone syrup. administration of single dose of 50% v/v glycerol (8ml/kg.i.m) caused severe renal dysfunction assoc...

background: calcineurin inhibitors (cni) have significantly reduced the incidence of acute rejection. nephrotoxicity however may contribute to long-term allograft dysfunction. mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) may allow cyclosporine (csa) dose reduction without increasing the risk of rejection. methods: in seventy-eight living unrelated kidney transplant patients with renal dysfunction, we studied th...

background and objectives:  the aim of this study was to survey the relationship between the level of  creatinine,cardiac troponins serum and the function of  the left ventricle in patients with  kidney insufficiency,without acute coronary syndrome.materialsand methods:the sample  was150 patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease without  acute  coronary  syndrome,  hospitalized  at  imam...

background the human leukocyte antigen (hla) system is widely used as a strategy in the search for the etiology of renal function impairment. objectives this study was carried out to detect the most common hla alleles’ distribution in kidney transplant in both donors and recipients, and clarify the association between hla alleles and renal dysfunction immediately after transplantation. patients...

Objective(s): We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the protective effects of remote ischemic per-conditioning (rIPerC) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in male rats. Materials and Methods: I/R treatment consisted of 45 min bilateral renal artery ischemia and 24 hr reperfusion interval. rIPerC was performed using four cycles of 2 min occlusions of the left femoral artery an...

background: we aimed to analyze the effect of nursing strategies on patients with chronic renal failure (crf) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (mhd) treatment by puncturing on arteriovenous fistula (avf). methods: ninety-two patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (mhd) between jan 2014 and jan 2015 were included in the study (all undergoing avf, dialysis for ...

Background: Previous studies have shown increases in endothelin (ET) concentration of plasma and renal tissues in acute renal failure (ARF).  ET has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, through binding with its ETA receptors, and may play some roles in renal hemodynamic dysfunction in ARF.Objective: To examine the beneficial effect of a selective ETA-receptor antagonist on renal dysfunction and tis...
