To date, there are few studies that have evaluated the prognostic impact of changes in abdominal obesity or weight on long-term adverse kidney outcomes in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the effect of changes in waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body weight (BW) on c...
Nervous kidney. Interaction between renal sympathetic nerves and the renin-angiotensin system in the control of renal function. Increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity regulate the functions of the nephron, the vasculature, and the renin-containing juxtaglomerular granular cel... G,F,DiBona - ...
CAT in liver tissue (Fig.3). In addition, the skeletal muscle of mice in the model group had the strongest syncytin-1 expression, and H-dandelion, L-dandelion, and Vc upregulated syncytin-1 expression in the skeletal muscle of mice with decreased liver function. H-dandelion had the stronge...
were included in the review.Results: The results of studies are reported in Table.Conclusion: Although some studies have suggested that some herbs have a toxic effect on kidney function, in the present review, most plants could help decrease serum creatinine levels and improve renal function.Mahmou...
Exercise promotes metabolism, delays arteriosclerosis, and reduces the frequency of diseases caused by a declin- ing liver function [2]. In addition, the reasons for fatigue caused by aging are more complex, including an imbal- ance in the absorption and consumption of energy, the accumulation ...
Warm ischemic time (WIT) in kidney transplantation has significant effects on graft survival, function, and postoperative morbidity. We utilized the Ice Bag Technique (IBT) to determine if eliminating WIT would decrease the incidence and length of delayed graft function (DGF) in our cohort. Methods...
failed to show a blood-pressure-lowering effect of RSD. One of reasons explaining this discrepancy may be that sympathetic denervation in some patients is not complete. Therefore, investigating methods to verify the completeness of RSD has high clinical importance. This article reviewed the correlation...
An autopsy is a widely recognized procedure to guarantee ongoing enhancements in medicine. It finds extensive application in legal, scientific, medical, and research domains. However, declining autopsy rates in hospitals constitute a worldwide concern. For example, the Regional Hospital of Rio Blanco ...
The role of the FGF21/β-klotho axis in mineral metabolism is less clear. Based on a recent study that has shown that the tubular load of P modulates the expression of α-klotho in the kidney [17], we hypothesize that increasing hepatic P load by feeding a diet with high P content wo...
in the Chinese population revealed that hyperuricemia was linked to a more significant decrease in kidney function and a higher probability of developing kidney failure [5]. A greater decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was observed in patients with higher SUA, which can be...
