Kidney disease is managed mostly with the aid of medications, diet, and hydration. Specific management is geared toward the underlying cause (if known) as well as the stage of the disease. A cat in any stage with an increase in either UPC or high blood pressure will most likely be treated...
BUN levels decreased in 29 patients (63%, P<0.05), creatinine levels decreased in 20 patients (43%, no statistical significance), and uric acid levels decreased in 15 patients (33%, no statistical significance). Almost all subjects expressed a perceived substantial overall improvement in QOL (...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), among the most common human genetic conditions and a frequent etiology of kidney failure, is primarily caused by heterozygousPKD1mutations. Kidney cyst formation occurs whenPKD1dosage falls below a critical threshold. However, no framework exists to ...
Incomplete repair after acute kidney injury can lead to development of chronic kidney disease. To define the mechanism of this response, we compared mice subjected to identical unilateral ischemia-reperfusion kidney injury with either contralateral nephrectomy (where tubule repair predominates) or contralate...
1 This overall increase in the number of people with diabetes has had a major impact on the rate of development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is one of the most frequent complications of both type 1 and 2 diabetes. In developed countries like the USA, DKD is the leading cause...
Results: Treatment with the Prangos Ferulacea extract resulted in a significant decrease in blood glucose, ALT, AST and creatinine but no significant decrease in ALP, albumin, urea, and BUN levels. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that hydroalcoholic extracts of Prangos Ferulacea had...
DQ significantly reduced the body weight, blood glucose, ACR, Scr and BUN levels and improved the histopathological changes induced in diabetic db/db mice. In addition, DQ caused a significant downregulation of the expression levels of the ECM proteins, improved autophagy and ind...
long- and short-term mortality, as well as a higher risk of developingchronic kidney disease(CKD) [121]. Both the acute and chronic phases of kidney disease have detrimental effects mainly in the cardiovascular area. IMA biomarker could be used to measure the cardiovascular and CKD disease [...
Artemether has biological effects by targeting mitochondria and exhibits potential therapeutic value for kidney disease. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. This study was performed to determine the effects of artemether on Adriamycin-induced nephropathy and the ...
(HTN), chronic liver disease (CLD), and previous cardiovascular disease (CVD). Patients who developed AKI had significantly higher serum creatinine and hsCRP levels and lower blood pH than did patients who did not develop AKI. PCT levels in the AKI group were significantly higher than those ...
