conclusions fasting in the month of ramadan in two consecutive years, and during the hottest months, in riyadh, saudi arabia, did not adversely affect kidney graft function. objectives to investigate the effect of repeated ramadan fasting during the hottest months of the year on renal graft functions. patients and methods this was a prospective cohort study comparing two groups of renal transpl...

Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is more reliable than surgical valve replacement for high-risk or inoperable aortic stenosis patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different femoral access methods on the development of vascular complications and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after transfemoral (TF)-TAVI. Patients and Methods: In total, ...

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of three kidney function estimating equations: classic Cockcroft-Gault (classic CG), corrected Cockcroft-Gault (corrected CG) and simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), in patients with advanced chronic renal failure. The study was made in 84 nondialyzed patients with chronic renal disease in stage 4 or 5. The glomerular filtra...

conclusions although our patient had ckd stage 4, but his condition has not deteriorated and remained constant and stable for several years only by control of blood pressure and usual treatment which prescribed for patients at this stage case presentation a 78-year-old man presented with stage 4 ckd for 7 years; the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) and creatinine levels remained constant despit...

overhydrated patients. This made it possible to relieve the uraemic patient from congestive heart failure and to control arterial blood pressure. Ultrafi ltration is generally applied continuously or intermittently, while the dialysis procedure (diffusion of substances across the dialysis membrane) is going on. During the last few years, short-time dialysis (3–4 hr 3 times a week or every other...

Objective: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As extremely accurate methods of GFR measurement (i.e. Inulin clearance) are expensive and Time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the GFR measurement. Here we have ...
