Blood pressure (BP) is hardly controlled in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We compared the effect of very low protein diet (VLPD) supplemented with ketoanalogs of essential amino acids (0.35 g/kg/day), low protein diet (LPD, 0.60 g/kg/ day), and free diet (FD) on BP in patients with CKD stages 4 and 5.
A low-protein diet (LPD) is a conservative treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to improve uremic symptoms and slow the progression of renal dysfunction. However, the deleterious effects of protein restriction on nutritional status have raised concern. We investigated whether ketoanalogs supplementation in CKD patients who had training on LPD retards the progression of CKD an…
PROTEIN-RESTRICTED DIETS SUPPLE-MENTED with keto/amino acids should be considered as one of the main approaches in the management program of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients
Pengumpulan sampel pada penelitian ini dilakukan selama 6 bulan yaitu mulai bulan Oktober 2004 – Maret 2005. Selama periode tersebut didapatkan 44 penderita yang dapat dievaluasi serta dilakukan analisis, yaitu masing-masing 22 penderita pada kelompok perlakuan dan 22 penderita pada kelompok kontrol
Berbicara Pharmacovigilance tidak terlepas dari efek samping obat dan pemantauan keamanan obat, Apa hubungannya efek samping obat dengan Pharmacovigilance? Apakah efek samping bisa diprediksi atau justru bisa dihindari? Apakah obat dijamin aman dengan adanya Pharmacovigilance ? Ayo ikuti Sharing Knowledge Session yang akan mengupas PV secara lebih chill dan fun agar mudah dipahami untuk pemant…
Effective antihypertensive therapy is essential for achieving optimal blood pressure (BP) control and reducing cardiovascular events. This double-blind, multicenter, randomized trial aimed to compare the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of a combination of amlodipine (AML) and candesartan cilexetil (CC) versus AML monotherapy in patients with essential hypertension (HTN). After a 4-week run…
Dengue virus infection is increasingly recognized as one of the world’s major emerging infectious diseases. Dengue is endemic in most tropical and subtropical countries, many of which are popular tourist destinations. International travelers may both acquire and spread dengue virus infection. Health care providers need to understand the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical spectrum, diagnosi…
Micronutrients play a central part in metabolism and in the maintenance of tissue function. An adequate intake therefore is necessary, but provision of excess supplements to people who do not need them may be harmful. Single micronutrient deficiency states are comparatively easily recognised and treated. Subclinical deficiency, often of multiple micronutrients, is more difficult to recognise, a…
Micronutrients, an umbrella term used to collectively describe vitamins and trace elements, are essential components of nutrition. Those requiring alternative forms of nutrition support are dependent on the prescribed nutrition regimen for their micronutrient provision. The purpose of this paper is to assist clinicians to bridge the gap between the available guidelines’ recommendations and th…
