Tendinous and ligamentous hyperlaxity in patients receiving longterm hemodialysis.

Chronic renal insufficiency gives rise to osteoarticular and tendinous alterations, with tendinous rupture reaching 3.6% among patients receiving hemodialysis. To evaluate potential tendinous and ligamentous alterations, 39 consecutive patients receiving longterm hemodialysis (mean dialysis time 33 months) were studied prospectively by clinicoradiological methods.

Effects of pindolol on renal function II. Effects on intravenous and prolonged oral dosing.

Effects of intravenous and long-term oral dosing with pindolol on renal function were examined in eight hypertensive patients with reduced renal function. (Inulin clearance ranged from 40.5 to 84.

Is secondary hyperparathyroidism an important etiologic factor in the anemia of chronic renal failure?

Twenty patients with chronic renal failure being treated with hemodialysis were investigated in an attempt to ascertain whether hyperparathyroidism is an important etiologic factor in these patients' anemia. The patients were divided into two groups, one with hemoglobin of greater than 8 g/dl and the other with hemoglobin of less than 8 g/dl. These groups differed in blood transfusion requirements and in serum iron saturation.

Renal function during acute and long term pindolol treatment in hypertensive patients with normal and decreased glomerular filtration.

1 In an acute study in hypertensive patients with normal and decreased renal function the i.v. administration of pindolol (0.

Clearance of Tc-99m DTPA in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis: concise communication.

The clearance of Tc-99m DTPA was studied in 14 patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). Mean Tc-99m DTPA clearance during HD was 37.8% +/- 10.

Fulminant spontaneous acute bacterial peritonitis in maintenance hemodialysis.

Two patients on maintenance hemodialysis therapy developed fulminant spontaneous acute bacterial peritonitis (S.A.B.

The effects of proxazole on renal function in chronic renal failure.

3-alpha-Phenyl-propyl-5-beta-diethylaminoethyl-1,2,3-oxadiazole (proxazole), a spasmolytic papaverine-like agent, was i.v. administered to 13 patients with chronic renal failure (mean creatinine clearance 46.

Effects of pindolol on renal function.

Because beta blockers have been shown to reduce glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the renal effect of intravenous and prolonged oral administration of pindolol was examined in 10 patients with essential hypertension. Intravenous pindolol decreased inulin clearance from 99 to 94 ml/min/1.73 m2 (p < 0.
