Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by either genetic or immunological factors their combination. Approximately 30-40% of patients with SRNS make fast progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). represents the second leading cause ESRD in individuals under age 25 years worldwide. Patients typically exhibit focal segmental ...

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are placed on dialysis while they await kidney transplantation. The mortality rate among patients with ESRD is high. This review outlines the importance of preservation of residual renal function (RRF) and supports the idea of the integrated care approach to uraemia where patients start on peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Diabetes also predisposes to considerably worse outcomes when these complications develop, with increased mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure and more rapid progression toward ESRD in patients who manifest early evidence of renal in...

the number of patients with end-stage renal disease is growing rapidly in asia. patients with end stage renal disease failure (esrd) undergoing long term hemodialysis (hd) are at risk for high oxidative stress. there is paucity of information with regard to oxidative stress during hd. therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate catalase enzyme activity in erythrocytes and the total ...

absractthis study investigated a 63-day boy with end stage renal disease and abdominalcysts. the antenatal sonography detected anhydraminos, posterior urethral valve,and cystic dysplastic kidneys. voiding cystourethrogram revealed two obstructivegiant diverticula which at first looked like enlarged renal pelvis. the patient had persistenturinary tract infection and perforation of diverticula. t...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health priority. The unadjusted mortality rate of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is 29% at 2 years and 52% at 5 years. ESRD is associated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality 2 to 10 times that of a population with normal renal function. Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in patients on hemodialysis (HD) (42% of total mortality) ...

Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare genetic metabolic disease presented severely in infants with end-stage renal (ESRD). Promoting diagnosis aggressive management essential these patients. Here we case of primary type 1 (PH1) seven-month infant girl who underwent dialysis prospective kidney transplantation the future.
