Renal chronic

Renal chronic use may cause nephritis, nephritic syndrome, acute failure (via 4-formation of PGE and PGI2, which normally maintain GFR and RBF)—does not occur with sulindac... 

Health and Safety Factors. Boron trifluoride is primarily a pulmonary irritant. The toxicity of the gas to humans has not been reported (58), but laboratory tests on animals gave results ranging from an increased pneumonitis to death. The TLV is 1 ppm (59,60). Inhalation toxicity studies in rats have shown that exposure to BF at 17 mg/m resulted in renal toxicity, whereas exposure at 6 mg/m did not result in a toxic response (61). Prolonged inhalation produced dental fluorosis (62). High concentrations bum the skin similarly to acids such as HBF and, if the skin is subject to prolonged exposure, the treatment should be the same as for fluoride exposure and hypocalcemia. No chronic effects have been observed in workers exposed to small quantities of the gas at frequent intervals over a period of years.

Our attention is focus on the biochemical defects of kynurenine pathway. The concentration of metabolites changes under various diseases, such as neurodegenerative disease, memory loss, chronical renal failure, eyes disease.

Erythropoietin is a growth factor produced by interstitial cells of the kidney in response to hypoxia. Erythropoietin stimulates haematopoiesis in the bone marrow. Recombinant human erythropoietin is used to treat anemias, e.g. anemia caused by chronic renal failure and anemia in AIDS and cancer patients. 

Disorders of lipoprotein metabolism involve perturbations which cause elevation of triglycerides and/or cholesterol, reduction of HDL-C, or alteration of properties of lipoproteins, such as their size or composition. These perturbations can be genetic (primary) or occur as a result of other diseases, conditions, or drugs (secondary). Some of the most important secondary disorders include hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, and alcohol use. Hypothyroidism causes elevated LDL-C levels due primarily to downregulation of the LDL receptor. Insulin-resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus result in impaired capacity to catabolize chylomicrons and VLDL, as well as excess hepatic triglyceride and VLDL production. Chronic kidney disease, including but not limited to end-stage... 

The renal clearance can be under estimated in the case of renal drug metabolism. The total drug clearance depends on bioavailability. Therefore, the most reliable estimate for the fraction eliminated by the renal route (fren) is given by the normal clearance (Clnorm) and drug clearance in case of acute and/ or chronic renal failure (Clfail), or from half-lives (Tl/2norm) and (Tl/2fail). 

The anemias discussed in this chapter include iron deficiency anemia, anemia in patients witii chronic renal disease pernicious anemia, and anemia resulting from a folic acid deficiency. Table 45-1 defines these anemias. Drugp used in treatment of anemia are summarized in die Summary Drug Table Drugp Used in die Treatment of Anemia. 

Anemia may occur in patients with chronic renal failure as tlie result of the inability of the kidney to produce erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone synthesized mainly in the kidneys and used to stimulate and regulate the production of erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs). Failure to produce the needed erythrocytes results in anemia Two examples of drug used to treat anemia associated with chronic renal failure are epoetin alfa (Epogen) and darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp).

Metformin is contraindicated in patients with heart failure, renal disease, hypersensitivity to metformin, and acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including ketoacidosis. The drug is also contraindicated in patients older than 80 years and during pregnancy (Pregnancy Category B) and lactation. 

The a-glucosidase inhibitors are contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to the drug, diabetic ketoacidosis, cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease, colonic ulceration, partial intestinal obstruction or predisposition to intestinal obstruction, or chronic intestinal diseases. Acarbose and miglitol are used cautiously in patients with renal impairment or pre-existing gastrointestinal (GI) problems such as irritable... 

Vasopressin is contraindicated in patients with chronic renal failure, increased blood urea nitrogen, and tiiose with allergy to beef or pork proteins. 

Older adults are at increased risk for adverse reactions from the antineoplastic drugs because of the increased incidence of chronic disease, particularly renal impairment or cardiovascular disease. When renal impairment is present, a lower dosage of the antineoplastic may be indicated. Creatinine clearance isused to monitor renal function in the older adult. Blood creatinine levels are likely to be inaccurate because of a decreased muscle mass in the older adult.
