Elias Adikwu, Nelson Clemente Ebinyo, Possible Jumbo Journal of Integrative Nephrology and Andrology 2020 7(2):34-40 Background and Objectives: Nephrotoxicity has characterized the use of isoniazid–rifampicin (INH-RIF). Selenium (Se) has potential to protect tissues from damage. This study evaluated the protective activity of Se against INH-RIF-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Methods: Forty-five adult male albino rats (200-230 g) randomized into nine groups of n = 5 were used. Group A (placebo control) and Group B (solvent control) were treated with normal saline (0.2 mL/da ..read more

Maniyar Iqbal Anvar, Bellara Raghavendra Journal of Integrative Nephrology and Andrology 2020 7(2):41-46 Background: Percutaneous kidney biopsy is the primary diagnostic tool used in kidney diseases. In general, it is a low-risk procedure in a majority of the patients, however, complications do occur and the most common complications are pain abdomen and bleeding which may be microscopic or macroscopic hematuria or perirenal hematoma. We aim to assess all the biopsies performed by following the patients postprocedure. Materials and Methods: All patients were evaluated before renal biopsy wit ..read more

Samuel Nkachukwu Uwaezuoke, Uzoamaka Vivian Muoneke, Ngozi Rita Mbanefo Journal of Integrative Nephrology and Andrology 2020 7(2):23-33 Background and Objectives: Several studies show that most infants with posterior urethral valve (PUV) do not fully recover their renal function, despite postnatal interventions to obviate the consequences of lower urinary tract obstruction. This systematic review assesses the future risks of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in infants with postnatally-repaired PUV. Methods: We electronically searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, a ..read more

Sabyasachi Bakshi, Subhendu Samanta Journal of Integrative Nephrology and Andrology 2020 7(1):12-16 Background and Objectives: Nephrotic syndrome, characterized by the presence of heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia, is a common renal disorder in pediatric population. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in nephrotic syndrome, bacterial etiologies, and antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Subjects and Methods: After matching the criteria, 82 cases were taken for this prospective, single-center, observational study. The dia ..read more

In experimentally induced cataract, sodium selenite may affect the reproductive system in young animals because of induction of oxidation condition. Methods: Sixty-four male 8-day-old Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups: control; pomegranate peel extract (PPE) 500 mg/kg; sodium sel ..read more
