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...
Death-related factors in HIV/AIDS patients undergoing hemodialysis in an intens...
Cavalcante, Malena Gadelha; Parente, Matheus de Sá Roriz; Gomes, Pedro Eduardo Andrade de Carvalho; Meneses, Gdayllon CavalcanteHIV-infected patients are at high risk for developing critical diseases, including opportunistic infections (OI), with consequent admission in intensive care units (ICU). Renal disfunctions are risk factors for death in HIV/AIDS patients, and survival rates in patients undergoing hemodialysis are smaller than the ones observed in the general population. In this context, this study aimed to investigate death-rel...

Novel kidney injury biomarkers in tropical infections: a review of the literature
Meneses, Gdayllon Cavalcante; Silva Junior, Geraldo Bezerra da; Tôrres, Paulo Pacelli Bezerra Filizola; Castro, Valeska Queiroz de; Lopes, Renata LimaTropical diseases are mainly found in the tropical regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America. They are a major Public Health problem in these regions, most of them are considered neglected diseases and remain as important contributors to the development of AKI (Acute Kidney Injury), which is associated with increased patients’ morbidity and mortality. In most countries, kidney disease associated to tropical dis...

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...
Preoperative risk factors for acute kidney injury after liver transplantation: ...
Gomes Junior, Raimundo Martins; Cezar, Lia Cavalcante; Meneses, Gdayllon Cavalcante; Silva Junior, Geraldo Bezerra da; Garcia, José Huygenes ParenteBACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in the immediate postoperative period of patients undergoing liver transplantation. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative risk factors for AKI after liver transplantation. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with adults submitted to orthotopic liver transplantation at a reference hospital in Fortaleza, Northeast of...
Novel kidney injury biomarkers among anabolic androgenic steroids users - evide...
Daher, Elizabeth de Francesco; Fernandes, Paulo Henrique Palacio Duarte; Meneses, Gdayllon Cavalcante; Bezerra, Gabriela FreireBackground: Kidney injury associated with the use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) has been described. The aim of the study was to investigate new kidney injury biomarkers among bodybuilders using anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a group of AAS users (n = 28) and a group of non-users (n = 29). Blood and urine samples were collected for analysis, includ...
Investigação de novos biomarcadores renais em pacientes com Leishmaniose visceral
Meneses, Gdayllon CavalcanteBackground: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an important parasitic neglected tropical disease that affects million people in many countries. VL is deadly if untreated, mostly in acute kidney injury (AKI) development. Aims: to evaluate the role of novel kidney biomarkers in pathophysiology of renal injury and in predict AKI diagnosis of VL patients. Methods: Was performed a prospective study with 50 VL patients b...
