...Andrew D. Rule; Lynn D. Cornell; Emilio D. Poggio Nephrosclerosis can be defined by the presence of glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, and arteriosclerosis on renal biopsy. Chronic kidney disease is identified clinically by a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR...

...Carlos G. Musso; Dimitrios G. Oreopoulos In addition to the structural changes in the kidney associated with aging, physiological changes in renal function are also found in older adults, such as decreased glomerular filtration rate, vascular dysautonomia, altered tubular handling of creatinine...

...Sukanta Barai; G.P. Bandopadhayaya; C.D. Patel; Manish Rathi; R. Kumar; D. Bhowmik; S. Gambhir; N. Gopendro Singh; A. Malhotra; K.D. Gupta Background: Until now, a normal reference range for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in adult Indian potential kidney donors has not been determined and values...

.... Sodium intake Chronic renal failure Proteinuria Glomerular filtration rate Hypertension, hemodynamics Clinical and experimental evidence demonstrate that a high sodium diet may induce pathological consequences in various vital organs. Thus, a high sodium diet, irrespective of its hypertensive...

... of the taurocholate transport protein was determined in these cells by immunoblotting. Results: Glomerular filtration rate and arterial blood pressure were not significantly affected by the cholestasis induced. The 3 H-taurocholate and 3 H-cholate clearances significantly increased whereas the fractional tubular...

...Anders Christensson; Jana Ekberg; Anders Grubb; Henrik Ekberg; Veronica Lindström; Hans Lilja Background/Aims: Serum creatinine has several drawbacks as marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and therefore serum cystatin C has been proposed as a more optimal GFR marker. Previous reports have...
