Chronic renal failure is the progressive loss of function of kidney and patient requires a long treatment in the form of renal replacement therapy. Alanine aminopeptidase activity has been assayed in (70) patient’s sera samples of both sexes, aged (25-70) years. The sample were divided in to two groups, the first group(G1) is of (35) samples before dialysis. The second group(G2) is of (35) samples after dialysis, as well as (30) sample of healthy as control group(C). The result showed a significant increase (p> 0.001) in general in the enzyme Alanine aminopeptidase in the serum of chronic renal failure patients (116.0±3.4) U/L while the efficacy rate is (105.5±3.4) U/L in healthy persons. Goal of the research was partial purified of enzyme from sera patients with chronic renal failure. by using two techniques: The first gel filtration chromatography packed with spadix G50 and giving 3.45% yield and 0.964-fold purification. Two isoenzymes were obtained by using ion exchange chromatography and the purity degree of isoenzymes were 0.687(1.08%) and 2.539(1.04%) fold respectively. Also, the results showed a single band for isoenzymes following steps.

ABSTRACT Aim Periodontitis, a chronic infectious disease, affects most of the population at one time or the other and its expression is a combination of hosts, microbial agents, and environmental factors. Extensive literature exists for the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Only a few studies performed in a limited number of patients have reported periodontal health status in chronic renal failure patients. Hence, the aim of the present study is to assess and compare the periodontal status of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis, predialysis with systemically healthy individuals. Materials and methods A total of 90 patients were divided into three groups. Group I: 30 renal dialysis patients. Group II: 30 predialysis patients. Control group comprised 30 systemically healthy patients who formed group III. Periodontal examination was carried out using oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth, and clinical attachment loss. Results The results of the study showed that the periodontal status of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis (dialysis group) and patients with chronic renal failure not undergoing renal dialysis (predialysis) when compared with systemically healthy subjects showed significantly higher mean scores of OHI-S, PI, and clinical attachment loss. Conclusion Thus, patients with chronic renal failure showed poor oral hygiene and higher prevalence of periodontal disease. Clinical significance The dental community’s awareness of implications of poor health within chronic renal failure patients should be elevated.

Abstract There are two primary concerns in the management of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) under hemodialysis who are receiving rHEpo for anemia - determine the ideal dose of iron and predict the response to the rHEpo therapy used to treat their anemia. The classic parameters used for monitoring iron therapy in these patients are Transferrin Saturation (TSAT %) and Ferritin (Ferr) concentration. Recently some new red cell parameters have been proposed to support these existing markers as the new research use only (RUO) tests, called Low Hemoglobin Density % (@LHD%®) and Microcytic Anemia Factor (@Maf®), produced by the LH 700 Series hematology analyzers We also have analysed the best hematological parameters to support TSAT % and Ferritin and the best predictors to predict the response to therapy. A total of 30 adult renal dialysis patients receiving EPO for treatment of anemia secondary to end-stage renal disease were enrolled over a six month period from March to August, 2006. The patients were stable with regard to dialysis treatment for at least 3 months prior to entry into the study. Patients had frequent follow up during therapy, consisting of CBC, auto-differential, automated retic %, absolute #, IRF, MRV and RUO parameters. The testing schedule followed the hospital’s existing standard of care with CBC, WBC Differential and Reticulocyte measurements being performed monthly. Iron levels and iron binding capacity were measured before the beginning the study, and then monthly for the duration of the study. These and other chemistry tests were performed on the Beckman Coulter DxC and DxI chemistry and immunoassay instruments and included serum Ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, Transferrin, transferrin saturation, and CRP. A 1 ml aliquot of serum from each sample was frozen for possible additional testing later (soluble transferring receptor (sTfR), etc.). The patients’ anemias were classified using their ferritin and transferrin saturation according to the KDOQI guidelines as Absolute Iron Deficiency (AID), Functional Iron Deficiency (FID) and any iron deficiency: AID or FID (any ID). CRP results were considered in the diagnosis. A response to the rHEpo therapy was defined as an increase in Hemoglobin concentration of 1 g/dL in 2 months, with a minimum increase of 0.3 g/dL per month. The patients’ results were classified as responder or non-responder based on the delta Hgb and delta reticulocyte results from month to month There were 29.3% (41/140) classified as responders. Using a Mann-Whitney test, significant differences (p<0.05) were found for @LHD%, @MAF, MCH comparing patients with TSAT% <20% vs TSAT%>20% and @LHD% for patients with Ferritin <100 ng/mL vs Ferritin> 100 ng/mL) The best RBC parameters for detecting the types of anemias found in these patients were: Detection of IDA was @LHD%® (>4.7%) Detection of FID: MCH (<29.1 g/dL) and @LHD%® (>6.1%) Detection of any ID (AID or FID): @LHD%® (>4.7%) and MCH (<30 g/dL) The best parameter for the prediction of the response to therapy as indicated by an increase in Hgb is @Maf® (<9.2) with a ROC Area under the curve of 0.714. Red Cell parameters can complement the classic parameters used to detect Iron deficiency and predict the response to therapy. The value of these findings to the clinician is that when the classic chemistry parameters are borderline or indeterminate, these new red cell parameters can be use to arrive at a definitive diagnosis and ensure the correct treatment option. @ Research use only parameters

BACKGROUND: Thyroid uptake of technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) during parathyroid scintigraphy can be affected by various conditions.AIM: To evaluate the frequency of absent 99mTc-MIBI uptake by the thyroid gland in the early phase of dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy.METHODS: The early planar images of dual phase Tc99m MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy from 217 patients performed between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were divided into two groups. The first group included 147 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and the second group included 70 patients with chronic renal failure. Patient records, laboratory and ultrasonographic data were analysed in all patients. Descriptive statistic was used for data analysis.RESULTS: Out of all patients in the first group, 18 patients (12.24%) showed absent thyroid uptake. Thyroidectomy was performed in 44.4% of these patients, and the rest of them had some thyroid disease. Only one patient had no thyroid or another chronic disease. In the second group, 8 patients (11.42%) presented with absent thyroid uptake of MIBI. Among them, 5 patients had no history of thyroid disease and had been on hemodialysis programme, and 3 patients had hypothyroidism.CONCLUSION: Absent 99mTc-MIBI uptake in the thyroid during the early phase of parathyroid scintigraphy is most frequently related to thyroid disease. A small proportion of patients with chronic renal failure can present with absent 99mTc-MIBI uptake in the thyroid as well. The mechanism for this alteration is still unclear and needs further investigation.

In 16 patients entering a renal dialysis program and given tetracycline bone labels prior to 11th rib biopsy, tissue-level bone formation rates measured by quantitive histological analysis fell below normal in each case and on both the haversian and cortical–endosteal bone surfaces, averaging one-third of normal. On both envelopes there were increases in the relative and absolute amounts of osteoid seam perimeter in a unit amount of bone as well as in the total volume of osteoid in a unit amount of bone.
