1. Gastrointestinal symptoms in chronic renal failure. Prevalence and pathophysiological mechanisms
Abstract : Chronic renal failure (CRF) has a varying etiology and is characterised by an increasing accumulation of toxic metabolic waste products in the blood. Malnutrition is a common finding in uraemic patients and is regarded as a marker for morbidity and mortality. Many factors, including gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, lead to malnutrition in CRF.

2. Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation and Oxidative Stress in Chronic Renal Failure
Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Endothelial function and oxidative stress (OS) have previously been shown to be important in the pathogenesis of CVD. In this thesis, the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDV) and OS were investigated in the patients with CRF. READ MORE

3. Malnutrition in patients with chronic renal failure
Abstract : Protein-energy malnutrition is common in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and may contribute to a poor clinical outcome. However, the role of nutrition in this regard has not been clearly defined. READ MORE

4. Some lifestyle-related factors and risk of chronic renal failure : a population-based approach
Abstract : Some renal diseases, i.e. rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, are sufficient causes of a rapid, permanent total loss of renal function. However, the majority of renal diseases progress slowly over decades, initially often without symptoms, sometimes making it difficult to define the aetiologies. READ MORE

5. Intracellular free amino acids and nutritional status in children with chronic renal failure on different treatments
Abstract : In untreated adult patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), and in chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and kidney-transplanted patients, typical plasma and muscle intracellular amino acid (AA) patterns have been described. Similar AA abnormalities to those seen in adult patients have been observed in plasma and muscle tissue of children with CRF, but no studies have been undertaken to evaluate the AA levels in plasma and muscle in children on CAPD or after kidney transplantation.
