The effect of establishing pre-angiography thresholds on contrast utilization.

Journal of interventional cardiology
INTRODUCTION: Contrast induced nephropathy is linked to contrast utilization and strategies for minimizing renal injury are incorporated into many laboratories that perform coronary angiography. Contrast limits have been described, below which there ...

[Assessment of diet in patients with chronic kidney diseases without dialysis and relationship with the nutritional status].

Nutricion hospitalaria
BACKGROUND: Diet is one of the pillars of the treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease without dialysis (NDD-CKD). Despite this, very few studies have evaluated the diet in Spanish population.

[Evaluation of equations using cystatin C for estimation of the glomerular filtration rate in healthy adult population of canidates for kidney donors.].

Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina)
The determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical for the selection of potential kidney donors. Methods of measurement of GFR are impractical and complex, which led to development of equations to estimate GFR. Objective: To evalua...

Correlation of Serum Cystatin C with Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients Receiving Platinum-Based Chemotherapy.

Analytical cellular pathology (Amsterdam)
. Serum cystatin C seems to be an accurate marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to serum creatinine. The aim of this work was to explore the possibility of using serum cystatin C instead of serum creatinine to early predict renal failu...

Early surgery after angiography in patients scheduled for valve replacement.

Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals
Background There are limited data regarding the risks of cardiac surgery early after coronary angiography in patients scheduled for isolated aortic and/or mitral valve replacement. Our aim was to evaluate the risk of early surgery after coronary angi...

Incidence of severe renal dysfunction among individuals taking warfarin and implications for non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants.

American heart journal
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to assess incidence and risk factors for severe renal dysfunction in patients requiring oral anticoagulation to help guide initial drug choice and provide a rational basis for interval monitoring of renal func...

The impact of paracentesis flow rate in patients with liver cirrhosis on the development of paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction.

Clinical and molecular hepatology
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Ascites is a dreadful complication of liver cirrhosis associated with short survival. Large volume paracentesis (LVP) is used to treat tense or refractory ascites. Paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) develops if no pl...

Renal impairment and outcome in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

The American journal of emergency medicine
OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to ascertain the prevalence of renal impairment among patients with a takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) episode and whether clinical outcomes are related to renal function.

Imatinib Increases Serum Creatinine by Inhibiting Its Tubular Secretion in a Reversible Fashion in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Clinical lymphoma, myeloma & leukemia
BACKGROUND: Monitoring renal function is important in imatinib-treated patients with chronic myeloid leukemia because serum creatinine may increase during the course of therapy. The mechanism of this increase and its reversibility on treatment cessat...
