Ulva lactuca is a functional food ingredient with high antioxidant content. The presence of heavy metal contaminants in natural needs to be eliminated. was investigated for its potential as nephroprotector female Wistar rats. study assessed Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) levels, creatinine and kidney histopathology. experiment included Group I (control), II (administered 1000 mg/Kg BW/day lactuca), ...

BACKGROUND Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is applied in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors. Co-infused amino acids (AA) should prevent nephrotoxicity. The aims of this study were to correlate the incidence of AA-induced hyperkalemia (HK) (≥5.0 mmol/l) and to identify predictors of AA-induced severe HK (>6.0). METHODS In 38 patients, standard activity of (177)Lu-labelle...

BACKGROUND Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) protein is easily detected in the blood and urine soon after acute renal injury. NGAL gains features of an early, sensitive and noninvasive biomarker for acute renal injury. Recent evidences suggest that its expression is also increased in CRF reflecting the severity of disease. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we aimed to investiga...

BACKGROUND Cholera is an important infectious cause of secretory diarrhea. The primary symptom of infection is the sudden onset of watery diarrhea with subsequent volume depletion causing renal insufficiency. The objective of this research is to study the level of dehydration at presentation and subsequent fluid management in patients with cholera. METHODS This study was conducted on 191 pati...

Treating proteinuria in dogs reduces the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD); renal diets and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors are cornerstones of treatment. Whether different ACE-inhibitors have distinct kidney protective effects is unknown; it is therefore hypothesized that renal diets and enalapril or benazepril have different beneficial effects in proteinuric CKD dogs....

BACKGROUND Host response to periodontal disease includes the release of different enzymes from stromal, epithelial or inflammatory cells. The enzymes which are produced from these cells are associated with cell injury and cell death like: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Normal enzymatic activity of these...

Background Elevation of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) indicates renal dysfunction and is associated with increased mortality in cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the relationship between BUN concentration measured at hospital admission long-term all-cause patients stable angina pectoris (SAP). Methods The rate 344 who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) our clinic due to SAP was analyzed du...

Context Urinary nitrogen excretion by grazing cattle causes environmental pollution. Selecting for cows with a lower concentration of urinary may reduce the impact. While is difficult to measure, blood urea (BUN), mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR)-predicted BUN (MBUN), which predicted from MIR spectra measured on milk samples, and (MUN) are potential indicator traits. Australia New Zealand have i...
