The Food and Drug Administration recently updated metformin prescribing recommendations for patients with diabetes and renal disease. The American Diabetes Association as well as the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American Clinical Endocrinologists also recommend periodic monitoring of vitamin B levels for patients using metformin. A review of the literature was conducted t...
To determine the suitability of serum endocan (ESM-1) levels for diagnosing and monitoring renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we measure serum ESM-1 levels in 56 RCC patients who had undergone radical or partial nephrectomies and 56 age- and sex-matched healthy kidney donors. Measurements were made before and 1 month and 3 months after surgery. The areas under the curve (AUCs) were determined from receiv...

This study determined the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6) on the expression of eggshell mineralization-related ion...
BACKGROUND: Late-stage chronic kidney disease (LS-CKD) can be defined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 0-30āmL/min. It is a period of risk for medi...
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that postoperative troponin release is a strong and independent predictor of short-term mortality. However, eva...
INTRODUCTION: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is the most common cause of pediatric end stage renal disease (ESRD), imposing a major health burden on m...
In this study, described an electrochemical immunoassay for insulin that is based on the use of zinc silicate spheres loaded with palladium nanopartic...
This study was conducted to estimate inĀ vivo inhibition constant (Ki) of ketoconazole on renal P-glycoprotein (P-gp) using human drug-drug interaction...
BACKGROUND: Chronic intermittent hypoxia is known to induce systemic arterial hypertension whereas chronic hypoxia causes pulmonary arterial hypertens...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of machine-learning based quantitative texture analysis of CT images to differentiate small (ā¤ 4 cm)...
Enhancement of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) may potentiate the antitumor efficacy of tumor-targeted monoclonal antibodies. Increasi...
BACKGROUND: Bartter and Gitelman syndromes are autosomal recessive disorders of renal tubular salt handling. Due to their rarity, limited long-term da...
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of kidney function is clinically important, but estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by regression are imprec...
BACKGROUND: Enteric hyperoxaluria due to malabsorption may cause chronic oxalate nephropathy and lead to end-stage renal disease. Kidney transplantati...
