SODIUM BICARBONATE-BASED HYDRATION PREVENTS CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY: A META-ANALYSIS.
BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced nephropathy is the leading cause of in-hospital acute renal failure. This side effect of contrast agents leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and health costs. Ensuring adequate hydration prior to contrast exposure is highly [...]
TOTAL BODY WATER AND FAT-FREE MASS: EVALUATION OF EQUATIONS BASED ON BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN INDIA
The association of early postnatal growth with diseases in adults such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and CHD has generated interest in studying postnatal growth. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a useful measure to estimate [...]
THE IMPACT OF TIMING OF MAXIMAL CRYSTALLOID HYDRATION ON EARLY GRAFT FUNCTION DURING KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
BACKGROUND: Early graft function is crucial for successful kidney transplantation. Maintaining adequate hydration is complicated by rapid movement of water to the extravascular space. We designed this study to test the effect of maximal hydration [...]
A PROSPECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF RENAL IMPAIRMENT AFTER PREPARATION FOR COLONOSCOPY: ORAL SODIUM PHOSPHATE APPEARS TO BE SAFE IN WELL-HYDRATED SUBJECTS WITH NORMAL RENAL STATUS
The outcome of colonoscopy is highly dependent upon the quality of bowel cleansing prior to the procedure. Oral sodium phosphate solutions (OSPS) or preparations containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) are generally employed. However, the safety of [...]
