world kidney day 2016 focuses on kidney disease in childhood and the antecedents of adult kidney disease that can begin in earliest childhood. chronic kidney disease (ckd) in childhood differs from that in adults, as the largest diagnostic group among children includes congenital anomalies and inherited disorders, with glomerulopathies and kidney disease in the setting of diabetes being relativ...

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that affects many aspects of patient’s life with adverse outcomes of kidney failure, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and premature death. Malnutrition is a relatively common problem in these patients that may be the result of inadequate intake, increased catabolism, or loss of nutrients in the dialysis. The aim of this study was ...

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive with no cure and high morbidity mortality that occurs commonly in the general adult population, especially people diabetes hypertension. Preservation of function can improve outcomes be achieved through non-pharmacological strategies (eg, dietary lifestyle adjustments) chronic disease-targeted disease-specific pharmacological interventions. A plant-domina...

introduction: kidney disease is a major public health challenge worldwide. epidemiologic data suggest a significant relationship between underlying diseases and decrease in glomerular filtration rate (gfr). clinical studies and laboratory research have shown that the mentioned parameter is effective in development and progression of the renal disease per se. in this study, we used learning-base...

Objective(s):MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They have important roles in kidney development, homeostasis and disease, and participate in the onset and progression of tubulointerstitial sclerosis and end-stage glomerular lesions that occur in various forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the present study, we elucidated the role of microR...

chronic kidney disease (ckd) is an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. prospective data on risk factors for ckd are few. hypertension is one of the risk factors for ckd. in the past serum creatinine concentration was used as marker of kidney function but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate(gfr), which limits its ability to detect impaired kidne...

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 Considering the significant geographical and ethnical differences in pattern of incidence, etiology and outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the present study aimed to assess the etiology and outcome of CKD in Iranian children. Materials and Methods In a cross-sectional study etiology and outcome of 372 children aged 3 months to 18 years with CKD was studied during the period 199...
