1. Returning to PD after kidney transplant failure is a valuable option

   INTERNATIONAL UROLOGY AND NEPHROLOGY, v.54, n.5, p.1123-1126, 2022

   Purpose There is a paucity of data on the prognosis for patients returning to peritoneal dialysis (PD) after a failed transplant. PD has an advantage over hemodialysis in preserving residual renal function, which is associated with better outcomes. Methods We have reviewed the electronic charts o...

2. Dialysis-related thrombocytopenia: a case report

   JORNAL BRASILEIRO DE NEFROLOGIA, v.44, n.1, p.116-120, 2022

   Thrombocytopenia is frequently observed in hemodialysis patients, and its correct investigation and control remain a challenge. It is estimated that during the hemodialysis session there is a drop of up to 15% in the platelet count, with recovery after the end of treatment. This reduction in plat...

3. Iron-based phosphorus chelator: Risk of iron deposition and action on bone metabolism in uremic rats

   EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, v.247, n.5, p.446-452, 2022

   Phosphate chelators are frequently used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). New iron-based chelators remain understudied and offer a promising therapeutic option for the control of bone and mineral disorders of chronic kidney disease (BMD-CKD). We assessed the effect of the phosphorus ...

4. A microRNA Approach to Discriminate Cortical Low Bone Turnover in Renal Osteodystrophy

   JBMR PLUS, v.4, n.5, article ID e10353, 10p, 2020

   A main obstacle to diagnose and manage renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is the identification of intracortical bone turnover type (low, normal, high). The gold standard, tetracycline-labeled transiliac crest bone biopsy, is impractical to obtain in most patients. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Out...

5. Nephrotic syndrome in the elderly: epidemiological aspects, clinical data, and renal biopsy findings

   BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH, v.55, n.1, article ID e11861, 5p, 2022

   Nephrotic syndrome is the most common clinical presentation of glomerular disease in elderly patients, and renal biopsy is an important diagnostic resource. The aim of this study was to describe nephrotic syndrome among elderly patients in Brazil, focusing on tubulointerstitial and vascular invol...
