Developing educational material on chronic kidney disease using best practices in health literacy.
In conclusion, besides of being used as basic text for the development of TALES, the booklet "Do you know chronic kidney disease?", based in best practices in HL, can assist health professionals in communicating to patients using consumer-friendly educational materials that might impact positive health-related behaviors and results.

Daily variability of resting energy expenditure in acute kidney injury patients on dialysis.
CONCLUSION: Patients with AKI have REE stable. The REE was associated independently with FiO2, MV, body weight and age. Thus, ventilatory parameters should be evaluated each day for the necessary dietary changes may be made.

When kidneys get old: an essay on nephro-geriatrics.
Authors: Glassock R, Denic A, Rule AD
Abstract
Aging is a nearly universal phenomenon in biology only partially controlled by genetic endowment. Individuals and their organs age at varying rates. The kidneys manifest the aging process by steady loss of nephrons and a corresponding decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) beginning about age 30 years. The mechanisms responsible for this observation is are elusive. However, defining chronic kidney disease based on arbitrary, fixed thresholds of GFR in the later phases of life can be problematical as it may over-diagnosis CKD in the elderly. A modest, persisting r...

Schistosoma mansoni associated glomerulopathy with IgA mesangial deposits: case report.
CONCLUSION: Patients with glomerulonephritis by schistosoma don't show improvement of disease progression with antiparasitic treatment. However the anti-proteinuric treatment can slow the progression of end stage kidney disease.

90-kDa N-domain angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE): possible marker for hypertension in a renal transplant model.
CONCLUSION: Our data show that this enzyme is associated with the development of hypertension, and this marker appears in the urine before any substantial blood pressure alteration.

Formula to detect high sodium excretion from spot urine in chronic kidney disease patients.
CONCLUSION: A simple formula with high sensitivity in detecting patients with sodium consumption higher than 3.6 g/day from isolated urine sample was developed. Studies with a higher number of participants and with different populations are necessary to test formula´s validity.

Obesity and kidney disease.
Authors: Silva Junior GB, Bentes AC, Daher EF, Matos SM
Abstract
Obesity has been pointed out as an important cause of kidney diseases. Due to its close association with diabetes and hypertension, excess weight and obesity are important risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Obesity influences CKD development, among other factors, because it predisposes to diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis and focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. Excess weight and obesity are associated with hemodynamic, structural and histological renal changes, in addition to metabolic and biochemical alterations that ...

Severe sepsis from a Ciprofloxacin resistant salmonellosis in a kidney transplant recipient.
CONCLUSION: This case illustrates how immunosuppressed patients can be exposed to rare forms of infection, often clinically difficult to identify, and possibly with severe clinical courses and poor outcomes despite evidence-based empiric antibiotic therapy.

Raised questions about the proposed adjustment in CKD classification in the elderly.
Authors: Moura JA
Abstract

First Report of Granulicatella sp. Endocarditis in a Kidney Transplant Patient.
We report the first case of infective endocarditis caused by Granulicatella sp. in a kidney transplant recipient. A 67-year-old male kidney transplant recipient was admitted to the hospital for investigation of fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. On physical examination, he was dehydrated. Laboratory tests identified impaired renal function (creatinine level of 15.5 mg/dl; reference, 3.0 mg/dl), metabolic acidosis, and electrolyte disturbances. Cryptosporidium sp. was identified as the cause of the diarrhea, and the infection was treated with nitazoxanide. On admission, cultures of blood, urine, and stool samples were neg...
