Inner ear cells are sensitive to some metabolic and hormonal disorders, but the relation between chronic renal failure (CRF), regular dialysis treatment (RDT) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is still a debatable field. The object of this paper was to verify the presence of SNHL in patients submitted to hemodialysis with different duration due to CRF and in those submitted to conservat...

To evaluate the additive effect of moderate chronic renal failure to the abnormal dopamine generation and action observed in stable hypertension, we investigated 22 age-matched patients with a comparable degree of hypertension with and without chronic renal failure. Both groups were compared with each other and with an age-matched control group after a single oral dose of dihydroxyphenylalanine...

Congestive heart failure, chronic kidney insufficiency and anemia are often present in the same patient. We have coined this triad the cardio-renal anemia syndrome. We suggest that congestive heart failure can often cause chronic renal failure, with both diseases producing anemia. The anemia exacerbates the chronic heart failure, which then worsens the chronic renal failure, causing further ane...

A total of 50 patients (male-28, female-22), In diferent stages of chronic renal failure (Mild, CCR 30-50ml/min/1.73mn=17; Moderate, CCR 10 to 29 ml/ min /1.73 m2, n=15and Severe, CCR < 10 ml / min /1.73 m2, n=18) and 23 healthy controls (CCR 60 to 120 ml / min /1.73 m2, male 11, female -12) were studied in the Department of Nephrology BSMMU, Dhaka to see the alteration of divalent ion metaboli...

The elevated cardiovascular mortality seen in patients with renal insufficiency makes it imperative that this condition be detected and treated in good time. The results of recent studies have led to fundamental changes in the therapeutic approach to the patient with kidney disease. A range of new medications is now available for the treatment of complications of renal failure.

The effects of green tea tannin on nephrectomized rats were examined. There were increases in btood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and urinary protein, and a decrease in creatinine ctearance in the nephrectomized controt rats, whereas better resu]ts for these parameters were obtained in rats given green tea tannin after nephrectomy, demonstrating a suppressed progression of the renal faiture...

In the 21st century cardiac disease remains the single largest cause of mortality and morbidity. Despite numerous strides in the medication and technology to manage this disease, there has not been a significant change in the mortality rate. This fact is further heightened in patients with end-stage renal disease. The catheter interventions to improve the blood supply by revascularization proce...

The progression of chronic renal failure is quite variable. Equations to estimate the level of function are provided.

the effect and outcome of pregnancy in patients with chronic idiopathic glomerulonephritis was studied. the study population consisted of 98 patients. all patients were divided into 8 groups according to presence, absence or coexistence of 3 general risk factors such as hypertension, renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. the adverse effect of renal disease and risk factors on the outcome of pre...
