(> 3 cells/high-power field, > 17 cells/μL on urinalysis, or red cell casts); proteinuria (≥ 0.15 g/24 hours, urine protein/Cr ≥ 2.0 mg/mg, or positive in urinalysis); renal insufficiency (rise in creatinine > 10% or eGFR fall > 25%) and rapidly ...
As shown in previous studies, the clinical presentations and renal outcomes can be more severe in adults than in children with HSPN10, with an estimated 25% to 30% risk of progression to chronic renal insufficiency11. Considerably fewer reports have investigated the renal outcomes of HSPN in ...
Reverse transcription-PCR confirmed the expression of emrE(Pae) in the wild-type strain of P. aeruginosa. Using isogenic emrE(Pae), mexAB-oprM, and/or mexB deletion mutants, the contributions of the EmrE protein and the MexAB-OprM efflux system to drug resistance in P. aeruginosa were ...
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) that occurs without any of the usual symptoms. Repeated urinary tract infections may be associated with renal insufficiency and increased mortality in adults1. Asymptomatic bacteriuria may precede symptomatic urinary tract infectio2 ...
Among these are age related changes in structures and functions of the kidney, which may be difficult to distinguish from CKD, and multimorbidity. Thus, symptoms, clinical findings and laboratory abnormalities should be considered as potential clues to suspect CKD and to suggest screening. ...
aBone pain,renal insufficiency,and anemia were the most common symptoms of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma ,The incidences of renal indequacy,hypercalcemia and pathological fracture in light chain type were higher than those in lgG and lgA types .Besides,no M protein were found in serum protein...
Keywords: heart failure, outcome, renal insufficiency, worsening renal function Introduction Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of hospital admissions to the Medicare population. In addition to its high prevalence, hospitalization for decompensated HF is associated with extraordinarily high rates of...
Additional names: Kidney failure–chronic; renal failure–chronic; chronic renal insufficiency; CRF; chronic kidney failure Causes and risk factors: Chronic renal failure results from any disease that causes gradual loss of kidney function. It can range from mild dysfunction to severe kidney fail...
(CRF). Further deterioration is associated with clinical symptoms and loss of metabolic control. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is reached when survival is possible with only renal replacement therapy. Aside from all medical and psychosocial care during CRF and ESRD, renal transplantation is the ...
Renal dysfunction is often present and/or worsens in patients with heart failure and this is associated with increased costs of care, complications and mortality. The cardiorenal syndrome can be defined as the presence or development of renal dysfunction in patients with heart failure. Its mechanisms...
