Introduction: 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...
A doença renal crônica (DRC), notadamente em seu estádio terminal, pode afetar negativamente o sistema respiratório. O transplante renal (TxR) é a terapia substitutiva de escolha para esses indivíduos. Não está claro se o transplante renal propicia recuperação dos comprometimentos da função respiratória. Objetivo: Comparar a funcionalidade pulmonar e de biomarcadores entre pacientes com DRC em hemodiálise (HD) ...
Introduction: 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...
