Taurine is a nitrogenous compound, naturally present in heart, leukocytes, retina, central nervous system, especially in muscles. It has several beneficial physiological effects like antioxidant action, and could increase muscle force contraction and insulin sensibility. Triathlon is a sport of medium to high intensity, that can causes an increase in the rate of oxygen consumption during intense exercise and consequently increases free radicals production and oxidative stress, which may compromise an athlete's performance. Due to the weekly intense training, triathletes need nutritional care ranging from calories and nutrients adequacy to the use of specific nutrients that can help to maintain health. Thus, it is believed that the use of taurine associated with chocolate milk after exercise can promote general metabolic insulin action in order to favor carbohydrates metabolism regulation, assist muscle recover and prevent oxidative damage and thus promote triathletes performance and muscle mass gain. Thus, the aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of taurine and chocolate milk supplementation in body composition, athletic performance and oxidative stress in triathletes.
Inflammation begins during early stages of CKD in which neutrophil counts are increased, whereas lymphocyte counts are decreased during inflammation. In addition to known conventional indications of inflammation such as C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, several interleukins and tumor necrotizing factor alpha, Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has increasingly been reported as a measure of systemic inflammation (Okyay G U et al 2013 and Yilmaz G et al ,2017) Several recent studies have shown that mean platelet volume (MPV) is also increased during inflammation and may be associated with poorer prognosis in CKD (Yilmaz G et al ,2017).
The purpose of this study is to determine if the oral supplementation with curcumin reduces proteinuria, improves the redox and pro-inflammatory state in patients with chronic kidney disease associated to Diabetes mellitus.
This study tries to identify the safe and effective treatment option for IgA nephropathy in children. Investigators will perform prospective registration study among 25 pediatric nephrology medical centers in China.
This study will test Scanadu Urine Device for clinical performance and usability.
Primary nephrotic syndrome(NS) is a common children renal disease.About 20% primary nephrotic syndrome are steroid-dependent and steroid-resistant.Low serum cortisol is one of the main relapse reasons.Adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)-induced steroidogenesis improve serum cortisol and also direct melanocortin receptors(MCRs) mediated protective effect on kidney cells. To investigate the efficacy and safety of ACTH to treat NS, total 42 children steroid resistant or steroid dependent NS is enrolling in this multicenter, prospective case series of prescription based treatment with ACTH for NS.
This phase II trial studies how well arginine works in treating patients with kidney injury caused by anti-VEGF drugs used in standard treatment for cancer. Arginine is a nutritional supplement that may control side effects of anti-cancer drugs such as high blood pressure and protein in the urine and may also help to improve kidney function in patients.
The overall aim of the project is to elucidate the primary bio-psycho-social (BPS) risk factors for albuminuria in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the mechanisms by which they cause renal injury. The Study aims include: 1. Characterize the primary BPS risk factors associated with prevalent and progressive albuminuria in youth with T2D. 2. Determine individual, family and community level factors that influence biological and psychological risk factors and behaviors (adherence) that could be modified to protect against prevalent and progressive albuminuria. 3. Determine if systemic and renal inflammation is the common pathway through which BPS risk factors lead to albuminuria in youth with T2D. Study Hypotheses include: 1. Biological factors (poor glycemic control and systolic ambulatory hypertension), and psychological and social adversity (stress, mental distress and poverty) are significant predictors of prevalent and progressive albuminuria in youth with T2D. 2. Community and family support will be negatively associated with stress, and a lower risk of both prevalent and progressive albuminuria. 3. Systemic and renal inflammation is the common pathway through which BPS risk factors lead to albuminuria in youth with T2D.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, but significant complication after elective surgery which is associated with an increased risk of mortality, major adverse cardiac events, prolonged length of hospital stay, and increased cost per episode of care.
