<description><![CDATA[To ascertain the presence of ureteral calculi, the standard investigation tool is CT, which is also used in the follow-up of patients who experienced renal colic to monitor, for example, the progression of calculi induced by drugs. With this study, a group of radiologists in New Zealand intended to [...]]]></description>

<category>Nephrology</category>
<description><![CDATA[The presence of albuminuria can be ascribed, in many cases, to a vascular damage, concerning microcirculation, with a mechanism presenting points of contact with cognitive decline due to cerebral-vascular deficiency. Beside the common pathogenetic mechanism, are there tighter relations between [...]]]></description>

<title>Proteinuria and Acute Renal Failure</title>

<pubDate>Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
<category>Nephrology</category>
<description><![CDATA[An acute renal failure obviously increases the risk that an already existing chronic failure evolves towards a terminal stage and consequently increases specific mortality. Acute renal failure (often caused by drugs or means of contrast) could in many cases be prevented, since a low value of [...]]]></description>

<category>Nephrology</category>
<description><![CDATA[In patients affected by chronic nephropathy, a pressure target of 130/80 mmHg is advised (American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2003; 42 (Suppl 3):S1), but a support for strong evidence on this recommendation lacks. With a retrospective cohort  study, 8,000 elderly have been identified (≥ 75 years of [...]]]></description>

<category>Nephrology</category>
<description><![CDATA[Chronic renal failure is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery diseases, cardiovascular mortality and mortality for any cause, but the link between the value of glomerular filtration and stroke has not been completely cleared up yet. For this reason, this meta-analysis has been [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the AASK (African-American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension) trial, 1094 non-diabetic, black patients, with hypertension-related nephropathy, have been examined, randomizing them to a standard or intensive anti-hypertension treatment.

<category>Nephrology</category>
<description><![CDATA[We have recently seen a certain tendency to anticipate as much as possible the beginning of dialysis in patients with severe renal diseases, but is there an evidence justifying this tendency? In Australia and New Zealand a randomized trial has been performed, where 828 adults with chronic [...]]]></description>

<category>Nephrology</category>
<description><![CDATA[The presence of albuminuria and the decrease of glomerular filtration (GFR) are indexes used to assess renal function, even if the values of normality levels are still debated. In order to clear up in a better way the problem and to verify also the influence of these parameters on mortality, a [...]]]></description>
