...Rajnish Mehrotra; Karl Nolph Low protein diets have been used for a long time in the conservative management of chronic renal failure as they have a beneficial effect in preventing the appearance of symptoms. However, with the exception of the beneficial effect on hyperphosphatemia of the very low...

...Tilman Drüeke Atherosclerosis significantly contributes to the high incidence of cardiovascular complications and death of uremic patients. Whereas some of the mechanisms that are being discussed in the atherogenesis of chronic renal failure are well established, many others remain hypothetical...

However, administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 [1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ] or its precursor 1α(OH)D 3 , especially in combination with calcium-based...

... have demonstrated markedly elevated serum leptin levels in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and it has been speculated that hyperleptinemia may contribute to uremic anorexia and malnutrition. Several factors may influence serum leptin levels in uremia and apart from decreased glomerular...

...Isao Aoyama; Takashi Miyazaki; Toshimitsu Niwa Circulating uremic substances are thought to be involved in the progression of chronic renal failure (CRF). An oral adsorbent AST-120 (Kremezin) is effective in removing circulating uremic toxins from the gastrointestinal tract, and retards...

... balance. The price paid for this is salt-dependent hypertension. Thus, loop diuretics are the best treatment for uremic hypertension. Diuretics are also used in chronic renal failure to treat edema due to nephrotic syndrome and congestive heart failure (CHF). In nephrotics, edema is often refractory...

...-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), which lower both proteinuria and blood pressure, have emerged as drugs of choice in proteinuric patients with either normal renal function or mild to moderate chronic renal failure. In non proteinuric nephropathies no controlled studies exist demonstrating the superiority...

...William E. Mitch; Bradley J. Maroni Low-protein diets ameliorate uremic symptoms and some of its metabolic complications. These diets can be used successfully to treat patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) because they are able to activate normal compensatory responses when protein intake...

... has never been addressed in humans. To this aim, we have retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), in whom a low-protein diet was prescribed, over a period of about 3 years.
