Chronic renal failure (CRF) is progressive irreversible destruction of kidney tissue by disease which, if not treated by dialysis or transplant, will result in patient's death. This study was carried out on 30 patients (17 male and 13 female) with chronic renal failure. The aim of this research was studied the changes in the level of total protein ,albumin, calcium ,ionized calcium, phosphorous , iron ,ALP, LDH ,CK and FFA in patients with CRF before and after hemodialysis .The obtained results have been compared with 30 healthy subjects as control group (18male and 12 female). The results showed that there was significant increase in the level of calcium ,ionized calcium, phosphorous ,iron ,ALP,LDH,CK and FFA ,while there was a significant decrease in the level of total protein ,albumin before hemodialysis comparison to control group . Non significant changes was observed in the level of total protein ,albumin, calcium ,ionized calcium, phosphorous and significant increase in the level of iron ,ALP,LDH,CK and FFA after hemodialysis as compared to control group. This study shows significant positive correlation between FFA and each of albumin and total protein in pre and post-dialysis patients ,and a significant positive correlation with calcium and non significant with ionized calcium in pre-dialysis patients where as there were non significant correlation with calcium and a significant negative correlation with ionized calcium in post-dialysis patients. The conclusion of this study is hemodialysate composition (concentration of electrolytes, free –ionized calcium and some other plasma constituents), the increase concentration of other biochemical changes after renal dialysis because of amissibility a much of amounts of body fluids, and the change in acidosis status may be affect on the correlation between FFA and other parameters used in this study.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a reduction in chronic renal function that leads to non-reversible and progressive kidney tissue damage. Blood pressure is a major risk factor that can increase the mortality rate by up to 20 times in patients with chronic renal failure who are undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Intradialytic exercise is an intervention that can be used to control systolic blood pressure. AIM: This study was to analyze the effect of intradialytic exercise on changes in blood pressure in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Indriati Solo Baru Hospital. METHODS: The research method is quasi-experimental design pre-post with control group design. The study population was 97 dialysis patients. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling of 30 people. Data analysis using Paired t-Test. RESULTS: The research results showed  that the sex characteristics of most respondents were male as many as 17 people (56.7%), the average age of the respondents was 51.03 years, the pre-intervention in the control group obtained an average systolic blood pressure of 168.93 mmHg and 106 diastole, 120 mmHg, while the blood pressure in the control group post was 173.13 mmHg systole and 107 mmHg diastoles. In the treatment group, the average blood pressure in the pre-intradialytic exercise showed 162.20 mmHg systole and 104.27 mmHg diastole, while the post-intradialytic exercise system blood pressure was 153.13 mmHg and diastole 94.33 mmHg. CONCLUSION: There is an effect of intradialytic exercise on changes in blood pressure in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Indriati Solo Baru Hospital with a p-value of 0.025. Intradialytic exercise can be recommended as structured physical exercise therapy for hemodialysis therapy patients.   KEYWORDS: intradialytic exercise, chronic renal failure, patients, changes in blood pressure, hemodialysis

Background: There are limited data on the assessment biochemical and hematological profile in the chronic renal failure of pre and post dialysis in the Gaza Strip. Objective: To evaluating some biochemical parameters and hematological profile in the chronic renal failure of pre and post dialysis at Martyr Mohammed El-Najjar Hospital in Rafah, Gaza Strip, Palestine. Methods: Forty-three (end-stage renal disease) ESRD patients, aged 20-70 years old who were referred to Martyr Mohammed Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah for the dialysis department. 43 apparently healthy individuals matched for ages were used as a control group for comparisons. Results: The results showed that post-dialysis higher statistically significant in Hb, RBC, HCT, PLT, AST, ALT, ALP and Ca level than pre-dialysis. While Ph, WBC, RDW, creatinine, Urea was lower statistically significant in post-dialysis than pre-dialysis (P < 0.05). Conclusion: chronic kidney disease shows abnormal hematological parameters, precisely reduced levels of RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet count, in addition, pre-dialysis patients are more anemic and thrombocytopenic than post-dialysis patients and this is may indicate of lack of blood pressure and diabetic control in these patients. AST& ALT activities vary in concentration before and after dialysis and make the post-dialysis patients are higher than pre-dialysis.

1. The influence of dietary sodium intake on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR/nephron) and potassium and phosphate excretion was examined at three stages of progressive chronic renal failure produced in rats by sequential partial nephrectomies. 2. The adaptive increased sodium excretion per nephron in the control group receiving a constant sodium intake did not occur in the experimental group that had a gradual reduction of dietary sodium in direct proportion to the fall in GFR. 3. Despite the difference in sodium excretion, the increase in GFR/nephron, the daily variation in the amount of potassium and phosphate excreted, the increase in potassium and phosphate excretion per unit nephron, and the plasma potassium and phosphate concentrations were the same in the two groups. 4. The concept of ‘autonomous adaptation’ in chronic renal failure is presented.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are known as important reasons of the increased morbidity and mortality observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). The association of serum Interlukin-6 , homocysteine as well as other cardiovascular risk factors in relation to existence and cause of CVD were investigated. Method: In this study 200 CRF patients were recruited and further stratified into group with Male and Female as case groups. Those without renal failure were assigned as control group (n=200). Results: The patients with CRF showed a significant increase in plasma levels of Cpk-MB homocysteine and C-reactive protein (CRP) compared to control. The positive association were observed between homocysteine, Urea and Hs-CRP, IL_6 . It shows a significant Association of parameters in CRF . Conclusion: The results demonstrated elevation in plasma values IL-6 , homocysteine and HS-CRP in patients with CRF . However, these modifications may be lead to atherosclerosis and consequence CVD event. These parameters may be important with respect to the high morbidity and mortality of CVD found in patients with CRF.

Although the kidney is believed to play a minor role in bile acid (BA) excretion, chronic renal failure (CRF) has been reported to be associated with increased serum bile acid levels and alterations in BA homeostasis. The mechanisms for elevated BA levels are poorly understood in both clinical and experimental studies. This study was designed to examine the effects of naturally progressing CRF of longer duration on the hepatic and renal mRNA and protein levels of the BA-synthesizing enzyme Cyp7a1 and the BA transporters Ntcp, Bsep, Mrp3, Ost-α, and Ost-β. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to the CRF group (⅚ nephrectomy) or to the sham-operated control group and were analyzed 8 wk after surgery. Results obtained in the CRF rats were compared with those obtained in rats that had undergone uninephrectomy (UNX). The CRF group exhibited significantly increased plasma cholesterol and BA concentrations. Hepatic Cyp7a1 mRNA and protein levels were almost identical in the two groups. Hepatic Mrp3, Ost-α, and Ost-β expression was increased, suggesting increased basolateral efflux of bile acids into the blood. However, no such changes in BA transporter expression were observed in the remnant kidney. In UNX rats, similar changes in plasma BA levels and in the expression of BA transporters were found. We hypothesize that the increase in plasma BA is an early event in the progression of CRF and is caused by increased efflux across the basolateral hepatocyte membrane.

Abstract Background Despite the diagnostic contribution of anti-citrullinated protein( anti-CCP) antibody and rheumatoid factor (RF), approximately one-third of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain seronegative .Anti-carbamylated protein (Anti-Carp) antibodies have been attracting increasing attention as a new diagnostic marker of RA. Objective evaluate levels of anti-carp antibodies in RA patients in order to detect its role as a diagnostic marker and its possible association with disease activity and severity. Methods This study included thirty adult patients with clinical evidence of rheumatoid arthritis and thirty healthy matched age and sex as controls. All underwent history taking, clinical examination, assessment of disease activity with modified Disease Activity28 (DAS28), Laboratory investigations including Complete blood count (CBC), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Liver function tests, Kidney function tests, Serum uric acid, RF, anti CCP Ab, anti-Carp Ab and radiographic Assessment with Larsen score. Results Plasma levels of anti-Carp Ab were significantly higher in patients than control group (p &gt; 0,001) with sensitivity of 73.33% and specificity of 100%.it showed significant positive correlation with CRP (r = 0.37 )(p &lt; 0.05) as a marker of activity of RA and also there was significant positive correlation with RF and ACPA (r = 0.45)(r = 0.48) (p &lt; 0.05) respectively as a diagnostic marker for RA. Plasma levels of anti-Carp Ab were higher in patients with more joints damage and erosions as assessed by Larsen radiological score as there was a highly significant correlation between Larsen score and serum Anti-Carp(r = 0.61)(p &lt; 0.001).. Conclusion serum Anti–Carp antibody level was higher in RA patients which serve as a diagnostic marker for RA, also its significant correlation with CRP and Larsen score may serve as a marker for disease progression and severity.
