Over the hospitalization, laboratory analyses showed a progressive reduction in creatinine and potassium levels (Table 1). Patient treatment prescribed at discharge was: bisoprolol; furosemide, ASA, ezetimibe, and PCSK9–inibitor. CONCLUSION. This case shows that acute kidney function impairment related...
Awaiting these data, clinicians could use these agents in patients with moderate CKD for an appropriate clinical indication while closely monitoring kidney function and potassium levels. Use of MRAs in the advanced CKD population not on maintenance dialysis remains problematic and should be avoided. Dec...
When functioning properly, all kidney components work together to ensure the removal of toxic compounds from plasma while retaining useful components (e.g., glucose and proteins), maintaining appropriate fluid volumes, controlling the levels of ions, and regulating the function of other organs in the...
Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of heart failure; conversely, kidney function decline is common in individuals with heart failure. Sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of kidney disease progression and hospitalization for heart fai...
acute kidney injury refers to any deterioration in kidney function that happens in less than three months.Now the kidney’s job is to regulate what’s in the blood, so they might remove waste,or make sure electrolyte levels are steady, or regulate the overall amount of water, and even make...
Serum chloride levels of the test group also reduced, whereas, that of potassium and creatinine were elevated with respect to their normal control values. However, these later changes were non-significant (p0.05). Histological changes in the kidney tissues such as necrosis of tubules, degeneration...
This study also revealed that co-administration of chloroquine and aspirin caused a more pronounced decrease in serum sodium and potassium levels. The results of the study suggest that acute administration of chloroquine may affect kidney function, more so when co-administered with aspirin; two drugs...
A multiple 24-hour urine collection study indicates that kidney function decline is related to urinary sodium and potassium excretion in patients with chronic kidney disease. Kidney Int. 2022;101(1):164-173. doi:10.1016/j.kint.2021.10.030PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 31. Swift SL, ...
Glomerulonephritis (glomerular disease).Glomeruli are the thousands of tiny filters that remove waste from your blood in your kidneys. This condition damages them, and your kidneys can't function as well.Inflammation in the glomeruli can happen after a strep infection, as well. ...
The focus of this review will be the reciprocal relationship between potassium and the kidney: the kidney regulates potassium balance, but potassium also affects kidney function. To address this relationship, we will first review how the kidney "senses" potassium and will do so through the ...
