Introduction. The effect of various minimally invasive treatment for kidney stones on renal function has not been sufficiently studied. To assess the specificity, severity, and prognostic significance injury urolithiasis its treatment, it is necessary to search «biomarkers injury». concentration serum urea creatinine used in routine clinical practice, glomerular filtration rate change later sta...

OBJECTIVE To test whether perioperative sodium bicarbonate infusion can attenuate postoperative increases in serum creatinine in cardiac surgical patients. DESIGN Double-blind, randomized controlled trial. SETTING Operating rooms and intensive care unit at a tertiary hospital. PATIENTS Cohort of 100 cardiac surgical patients at increased risk of postoperative acute renal dysfunction. IN...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a loss of renal function associated with inflammatory and fibrotic processes, which can progress high levels proteinuria. The increase proteinuria recognized risk factor in patients, experimental studies suggest that it to the pro-inflammatory phenotype drives fibrosis during CKD progression. rise neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is known to reduce renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and amplify kidney hypoxia, but the relationships between these factors and tubulointerstitial injury in the poststenotic kidney are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of renal revascularization in ARAS on renal tissue hypoxia and rena...
