Introduction: The fraction of drug circulating in the blood that is not bound to plasma proteins ( ) is considered pharmacologically active since it readily binds to its receptor. evidence suggests that changes in temperature and pH affect the affinity of drug binding to plasma proteins, resulting in changes in . In light of the well-established effects of exercise on body temperature and blood pH, we investigated whether an increase in blood temperature and decrease in pH facilitated through passive heating and exercise translated to a change in the of caffeine.

Background: High blood pressure is a prevalent condition in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Adequate control of high blood pressure is essential to reducing deaths in this group. The present study aimed to observe mortality prospectively in a group of patients in hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration programs in whom the use of antihypertensives was optimized with the point-of-care dry weight (POC-DW) technique.

Acute heart failure is associated with high hospitalization and mortality rates. A strong, independent risk factor for mortality in patients with heart failure is acute kidney injury, and the condition caused by this connection between disturbances in heart function and proper kidney functioning is cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). This case report discusses the role of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the management of a CRS case with septic shock due to pneumonia.

Podocytes are specialized cells within the glomerular filtration barrier, which are crucial for maintaining glomerular structural integrity and convective ultrafiltration. Podocytes exhibit a unique arborized morphology with foot processes interfacing by slit diaphragms, ladder-like, multimolecular sieves, which provide size and charge selectivity for ultrafiltration and transmembrane signaling. Podocyte dysfunction, resulting from oxidative stress, dysregulated prosurvival signaling, or structural damage, can drive the development of proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in hypertensive nephropathy.

Nephrology Department, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, Mexico City, Mexico.
Introduction: Fluid overload is a frequent and serious complication in hemodialysis patients. The combination of multiple point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) measurements can identify significant venous congestion, but its usefulness to determine ultrafiltration (UF) requirements and dry weight is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated prospectively patients in maintenance hemodialysis to establish the correlations between changes in venous congestion parameters and fluid removal.
