  2. 1. The effects of haemodialysis and metabolic acidosis on protein metabolism

    Author : Erland Löfberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : haemodialysis; metabolic acidosis; skeletal muscle; protein metabolism; amino acids; branched-chain amino acids; flooding dose; ribosomes; glucocorticoids;

    Abstract : Chronic renal failure and uraemia are characterised by gradual loss of renal function with an accumulation of metabolic and toxic waste products as well as disturbances in several organs and hormone functions. Two factors affect the catabolism in renal failure - i.e., the haemodialysis procedure and metabolic acidosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Liver regeneration : With reference to malnutrition and growth factors

    Author : Stefan Skullman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : cholecystokinin; energy substrates; epidermal growth factor; insulin-like growth factor I; liver composition; liver regeneration; malnutrition; pancreaticobiliary diversion; protein synthesis; rat; transfonning growth factor alpha; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The liver has a unique capacity to regenerate after damage, irrespective of cause. The regulatory mechanisms of this regeneration are not fully known. Liver regeneration· is associated with rapid growth and thereby increased demands for energy and synthesis of new compounds. READ MORE

  5. 3. Coagulation in liver failure : the role of thromboelastometry and fibrinogen

    Author : Gabriel Dumitrescu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver failure is undeniably accompanied by distortions of the coagulation system. The modern theory of coagulation in patients with compensated liver disease (acute or chronic) states that the coagulation system is in a rebalanced state, also displaying prothrombotic tendencies particularly towards the end stages.
