Correlation between functional capacity and oxidative stress and inflammation i...
Silva, Ítalo Caldas; Marizeiro, Débora Fortes; Daher, Elizabeth de Francesco; Sandes-Freitas, Tainá Veras de; Meneses, Gdayllon CavalcanteIntroduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may present impaired functional capacity due to peripheral muscle involvement. Oxidative stress and inflammation are probably involved in this pathophysiology. This study aimed to evaluate the association between functional capacity and biomarkers of oxidative stress as well as biomarkers of inflammation in patients under chronic hemodialysis therapy. Met...
Perfil clínico-epidemiológico de mulheres no ciclo gravídico-puerperal internad...
Barbosa, Marcelo Lopes; Barbosa, Andréa Lopes; Barbosa, Thaís Pimentel; Silva, Regina Célia Carvalho da; Almeida, Paulo César deObjective: to assess the sociodemographic and clinical profile of women in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle admitted to an Obstetric Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Method: this is a retrospective cohort study at the Assis Chateaubriand Maternity School/Fortaleza-CE. Results: puerperal women were predominant (78.5%), the most prevalent age range was 20-34 years (61.4%), cesarean delivery was more frequent (89.6%) hyper...
Renal evaluation in common variable immunodeficiency
Capistrano, Giovany Gomes; Meneses, Gdayllon Cavalcante; Neves, Fernanda Macedo de Oliveira; Leitão, Renata de Almeida; Martins, Alice Maria CostaIntroduction. Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by impaired antibody production. Kidney involvement in CVID is described in isolated and sporadic case reports. The objective of this study was to study the renal function pattern in CVID patients through glomerular and tubular function tests. Methods. Study of 12 patients with CVID diagnosis and 12 ...
Effects of respiratory muscle training on endothelium and oxidative stress biom...
Campos, Nataly Gurgel; Marizeiro, Débora Fortes; Florêncio, Ana Carolina Lins; Silva, Ítalo Caldas; Meneses, Gdayllon CavalcanteIntroduction: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have altered pulmonary function and this is associated with impaired endothelial function and cardiovascular events. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has the potential to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance HD. Here, we evaluated the e ff ects of RMT on endothelium/glycocalyx, oxidative stress biomarkers and pulmonary function test in HD p...
Kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate in critically ill patients: beyond...
Marques, Flávio de Oliveira; Oliveira, Saulo Aires; Souza, Priscila Ferreira de Lima e; Nojoza, Wandervânia Gomes; Sena, Maiara da SilvaBackground: Although significant advances have been achieved in acute kidney injury (AKI) research following its classification, potential pitfalls can be identified in clinical practice. The nonsteady-state (kinetic) estimated glomerular filtration rate (KeGFR) could add clinical and prognostic information in critically ill patients beyond the current AKI classification system. Methods: This was a retrospectiv...
Metabolic acidosis aggravates experimental acute kidney injury
Magalhães, Patrícia Andréa da Fonseca; Brito, Teresinha Silva de; Freire, Rosemayre Souza; Silva, Moisés Tolentino Bento da; Santos, Armênio Aguiar dosims Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and metabolic acidosis (MA) are two critical conditions that may simultaneously occur in clinical practice. The result of this combination can be harmful to the kidneys, but this issue has not been thoroughly investigated. The present study evaluated the influence of low systemic pH on various parameters of kidney function in rats that were subjected to an experimental mode...
Urinary monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in leprosy patients : increased ...
Meneses, Gdayllon Cavalcante; Libório, Alexandre Braga; Daher, Elizabeth de Francesco; Silva Jr, Geraldo Bezerra da; Costa, Marcus Felipe Bezerra daBackground: We aimed to evaluate urinary MCP-1 and oxidative stress through urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) in leprosy and correlate them with traditional, but less sensitive markers of renal disease. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 44 patients with diagnosis of leprosy and no previous treatment. Skin smear was assessed through a bacteriological index - from 0 to 6+. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), ...
Lesão renal aguda em pacientes com doença pulmonar : interação rim-pulmão
Abreu, Krasnalhia Lívia Soares de; Silva Junior, Geraldo Bezerra da; Muniz, Thalita Diógenes; Barreto, Adller Gonçalves CostaObjetivo: Investigar os fatores associados à lesão renal aguda e o prognóstico em pacientes com doença pulmonar. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo prospectivo com cem pacientes consecutivos admitidos em uma unidade de terapia intensiva respiratória em Fortaleza (CE). Foram investigados fatores de risco para lesão renal aguda e mortalidade em um grupo de pacientes com doenças pulmonares. Resultados: A média de idade...
