Aim. Obtaining stage results, pre-test questionnaire oral health’s assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) – chronic renal failure (CRF), with or without nephritic syndrome, with or without initiated dialysis treatment. Material and method: the study was conducted by applying the questionnaire (pre-test) on a group of 30 patients – 15 patients in the target and 15 patients in the control group. Recorded data have been used for statistical analysis. Group distribution – gender: equal, 50% each group; age: average (years): 60.6 years old on target group and 62.6 years old on control group. IRC average time period (years) has been: 8.55 years on target group (women – 8.12 years and man – 9.04 years). On both groups the number of non-smoking patient has been higher then smoking patients. 9 patients on target group (5 women and 4 men) were framed on nephritic syndrome (average period of 16.5 years). Dialysis patients: 7 (4 women and 3 men), with an average period of 3 years. 67% of patients (target group) were in the range of 15-60 ml/min glomerular filtration rate. On the control group 30% of patients were between the values of 90-120 ml/min (or higher) and 50% in the range of 60-90 ml/min. Results and conclusions. In terms of oral health status of patients with CKD it was found that 50% of them are partially edentulous on more than a half-dental arcade, and 60% have no dentures.

Abstract Background: Chronic renal failure is defined as kidney damage, or a reduction in the glomerular filtration rate, for three or more months. Few studies were performed regarding the oral health status of chronic renal failure patients in Sudan.Objective: Study aims to investigate the pattern of orofacial manifestations in patients with chronic renal failure in Sudan and how the disease affecting their oral health. Methods: The present study is a hospital based study conducted at Dr. Salma Center for Treatment of Kidney diseases, University of Khartoum, Sudan and Department of Nephrology at Ahmed Gasim Hospital for Heart Surgery and Kidney Diseases –khartoum Bahri, Sudan, between January to June 2019. Two hundred and twenty six patients participated in the study. The frequency and pattern of orofacial manifestations among those patient in addition to presence of additional systemic diseases ,duration of dialysis and mean levels of urea ,creatinine and hemoglobin were all investigated. Results: Oral lesions were present in 103 out of 226 (45.6%) patients with chronic renal failure .Xerostomia was the most manifestation encountered [145 (64.2%)], followed by orofacial abcess , ulcers and candidiasis . Hypertention was the commonest systemic disease encountered .No significant difference was found regarding the orofacial manifestations with duration of dialysis ,urea ,hemoglobin and creatinine mean levels.Conclusions: Prevalence of orofacial manifestations was significantly high among CRF patients .Xerostomia was the main complaint recognized. The findings of the present study emphasize the importance of dental practitioners in monitoring the oral health of patients with chronic renal faliure, and the need for regular clinical examinations to ensure early diagnosis and management of patients.

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: Kidney disease that affects bitches with pyometra may lead patients to develop chronic renal failure even after pyometra treatment. Therefore, several studies have sought to clarify the gaps in the understanding of the pathogenesis of renal injury in pyometra. Identification of early detection markers for renal damage, which can predict and identify the prognosis of the disease, is very important. Proteinuria analysis can diagnose kidney damage, since proteins such as albumin are not filtered through the glomerulus and those that undergo glomerular filtration are almost completely reabsorbed by tubular cells. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC) can detect renal injury in bitches with pyometra before development of azotemia. For this, 44 bitches with pyometra were divided into two groups: bitches with azotemic piometra (A, n=15, creatinine >1.7) and bitches with non-azotemic pyometra (NA, n=29). The two groups were compared to the control group (CG, n=12), which had no signs of systemic disease. All animals underwent blood and urine tests. Leukocytosis was more evident in bitches in the A group than in the other groups. This shows that the inflammatory response may be associated with the pathogenesis of renal injury. The median UPC in bitches with pyometra was significantly higher than in the CG, with a median above the reference values. In conclusion, the UPC can be used in bitches with pyometra to detect renal damage before the development of azotemia. It has been suggested that the UPC of bitches with pyometra should be followed through during the postoperative period so that permanent renal lesions secondary to pyometra can be diagnosed and treated properly before the development of azotemia.

Background. Chronic renal failure (CRF) has become a global health problem and bears a huge economic burden. FuShengong Decoction (FSGD) as traditional Chinese medicine has multiple pharmacological effects. Objectives. To understand the underlying molecular mechanism and signaling pathway involved in the FSGD treatment of CRF and screen differentially expressed proteins in rats with CRF treated with FSGD. Methods. Thirty-three male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, CRF group, and FSGD group. Differentially expressed proteins were screened by iTRAQ coupled with nanoLC-MS/MS, and these identified proteins were later analyzed by GO, KEGG, and STRING. Additionally, haptoglobin (HP) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) were finally verified by ELISA, Western blot, and real time PCR. Results. A total of 417 proteins were identified. Nineteen differentially expressed proteins were identified in the FSGD group compared with the model group, of which 3 proteins were upregulated and 16 proteins were downregulated. Cluster analysis indicated that inflammatory response was associated with these proteins and complement and coagulation cascade pathways were predominantly involved. The validation methods further confirmed that the levels of HP and AAT were significantly increased. Conclusions. HP and AAT may be the important biomarkers in the pathogenesis of CRF and FSGD therapy.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the perception of caregivers regarding the oral health status of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) and those with typical development. Study Design: Study group (SG) was composed of 35 children and adolescents with a clinical diagnosis of CP and their caregivers. Control group (CG) was composed of 35 individuals with typical development (matched with the SG for age, sex and caries activity) and their caregivers. Questionnaire was administered to caregivers addressing the oral health of individuals under their care. Caries activity, dmft/DMFT index, visible plaque index (VPI) and occlusal characteristics were determined. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the perceptions of dental problems (p = 0.004) and gingival bleeding (p = 0.013). Individuals in SG whose caregivers perceived dental problems had a higher mean VPI (50.84 ± 5.11%) than those in CG (27.97 ± 6.50%). The mean dmft/DMFT in the SG was 2.77 ± 3.20. Class II molar relationship, overjet and anterior open bite were more prevalent in the SG. Conclusion: Caregivers of children/adolescents with CP perceive more oral problems, such as visible plaque, gingival bleeding and malocclusion, than caregivers of children/ adolescents with typical development.

Abstract: Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism in humans. It was determined that this compound has important antioxidative properties and it may be oxidized to allantoin by various reactive oxygen species. Therefore, the measurement of allantoin may be useful for the determination of oxidative stress in humans.: We measured allantoin and uric acid in human plasma and erythrocytes obtained from patients with chronic renal failure before hemodialysis (n=30) and blood donors (n=30). We used a method based on selective isolation of allantoin from deproteinized plasma and erythrocyte lysate samples on AG 1-X8 resin and its derivatization to glyoxylate-2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone. Separation of glyoxylate-2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone from interfering substances was achieved on reversed phase HPLC with gradient elution and UV/VIS detection at 360 nm. Uric acid was determined by reversed phase HPLC with UV/VIS detection at 292 nm.: We found significant differences in allantoin and uric acid concentration between the patients with chronic renal failure and the control group both in plasma (20.5±6.5 μmol/L and 323.9±62.9 μmol/L vs. 2.1±1.1 μmol/L and 270.1±62.3 μmol/L, p<0.05) and erythrocytes [82.8±39.1 nmol/g hemoglobin (Hb) and 110.7±28.8 nmol/g Hb vs. 20.1±6.1 nmol/g Hb and 82.1±23.7 nmol/g Hb, p<0.05].: Significant higher levels of allantoin in both plasma and erythrocytes of patients with chronic renal failure indicate that allantoin may be used as a good marker of oxidative stress.Clin Chem Lab Med 2008;46:1270–4.

Introduction: Chronic renal failure is clinical syndrome caused by declining renal function, lasting progressively and irreversible. Physical change due to organ function decline will affect client psychologicaly and socially. These changes cause self esteem disorder where client tend to use maladaptive coping with manifestation of frequent irritating, angry, anxiety, and depression. Therapeutic communication between nurse and client that lead to client healing process which planned in conscious, purposive manner and this activity is centered on client. Method: This research used quasi experimental. Total sample in this research was 12 clients with chronic renal failure that meet inclusion criteria grouped in two groups: treatment group and control group. Independent variable was therapeutic communication while dependent variable was self esteem. In this research data analysis used was Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test with significance α ≤ 0,05 and Mann Whitney Test with significance α ≤0,05. Result: Result obtained after therapeutic communication intervention provided was p = 0,002 where there is significant difference on client self esteem before and after therapeutic communication intervention given. Result showed that there is significant difference between treatment group and comparative group with p = 0.026. Discussion: It is concluded that therapeutic communication has effect on improving self esteem in client with chronic renal failure. Therapeutic communication helps client to express his/her feeling and problems clients self esteem were improved.
