Urinary cAMP activity in chronic renal failure
1Department of Internal Medicine, Karadeniz Technical University, Faculty of Medicine, Trabzon, Turkey.
Abstract:
Forty-six patients with chronic renal failure and 17 healthy controls were examined to determine their urinary cyclic adenosine monophosphate (UcAMP) levels. In the study group, UcAMP levels were found to average 1542 picomoles; in the controls, 4612 pmoles (P<0.001). UcAMP activity decreased in tandem with the decline of the glomerular filtration rate. Hypertension was not found to have an additional effect on UcAMP levels, and there was no statistical difference in UcAMP levels between the normotensive and hypertensive patients (P>0.05).

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
