10 Can we prolong life of patients with advanced CKD: what is the clinical evidence? 10 Cardiovascular complications in CKD patients: role of oxidative stress. 11 Undiagnosed kidney disease in hospitalised patients: an opportunity for improvement. 12 Quality of life in CKD. 13 End-stage renal disease (ESRD) preceded by rapid declines in kidney function: a case series. 13 Assessing kidney functi...

Objective: The aim of the study is adaptation Chronic Kidney Disease-Self Management Tool (CKD-SMKT) into Turkish language.
 Material and Methods: was conducted with chronic kidney disease patients in a training research hospital. Initially, translation cultural tool performed, afterwards internal consistency were evaluated Kuder-Richardson (KR-20) coefficient.
 Results: total 48 (mea...

The relationship between hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is bidirectional in nature and, generally, management strategies for cardiovascular risk reduction also attenuate progression of CKD. Prevalent hypertension increases with diminishing kidney function, and the management strategy changes with level of kidney function. In this review, we will examine the evidence for managemen...

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 Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD)  determined by permanent kidney damage. Due to the similarity of clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism with CKD, hypothyroidism may be neglected and remain untreated. The goal of our study was to evaluate the rate of hypothyroidism in CKD patients who need hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional research. The sampling ...

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease have multiple alterations of thyroid hormone metabolism in the absence of concurrent thyroid disease. These may include elevated basal TSH values, which may transiently increase to greater than 10 mU/liter, blunted TSH response to TRH, diminished or absent TSH diurnal rhythm, altered TSH glycosylation, and impaired TSH and TRH clearance rates. In...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a debilitating systemic condition. Our working hypothesis is that CKD predialysis patients with periodontitis would respond poorly to periodontal treatment owing to immunologic compromise. Twenty-one predialysis patients (group 1) and 19 individuals without clinical evidence of kidney disease (group 2) with chronic periodontitis were subjected to non-surgical per...

It is becoming increasingly more evident that accelerated atherosclerosis is a serious problem in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with more patients dying prematurely from cardiovascular related diseases than progressing to end stage renal disease. A literature review was conducted to investigate the role of both traditional and non-traditional risk factors of atherosclerosis in the...
