Bone Disease: Preparing for Your Parathyroidectomy
Patients with ESRD typically present with some form of bone mineral disease (BMD) due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Secondary hyperparathyroidism develops in patients with ESRD because of various mechanisms that include increased phosphorus and decreased calcium and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D levels. Individualized medical therapy usually consists of controlling hyperphosphatemia with a prescribed nutrition plan, phosphate binders, and administering vitamin D/analog and calcimimetic agents to lower parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, some patients, despite medical therapy interventions, have persistently elevated phospho...

The Role of Inflammation in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Its Potential Impact on Medical Therapy
Abstract A chronic prostatic inflammation seems to play a crucial role in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) pathogenesis and progression. Therefore, inflammation could represent a new potential target for medical therapy of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH (LUTS/BPH). This review article analyzes the evidence supporting the role of inflammation in the onset and progression of BPH, and it assesses the potential impact of previous mechanisms on medical therapy of LUTS/BPH. Literature data support the role of inflammation as a relevant factor in the pathogenesis of BPH. Indeed, several data favour the...

Understanding Medical Care of Transplant Recipients through Integrated Registry and Pharmacy Claims Data.
Conclusions: Integrated registry and pharmacy fill data provide a novel tool for pharmacoepidemiologic investigations of delivered post-transplant care. Transplant recipients with reduced renal function have increased requirements for pharmaceutical care of comorbidities. Causes of racial variation in medication fills warrant further investigation. © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel. PMID: 24216747 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Laboratory assessment of oxidative stress in semen
Conclusion Traditional OS laboratory assessments have their limitations. Amongst the prevalent laboratory techniques, ORP is novel and better option as it can be easily used in a clinical setting to provide a comprehensive review of OS. However, more studies are needed to evaluate its reproducibility across various laboratory centres.

Osteoporosis after renal transplantation
Abstract Bone loss and fracture are serious sequelae of kidney transplantation, associated with morbidity, mortality and high economic costs. The pathogenesis of post-transplantation bone loss is multifactorial and complex. Pre-existing bone mineral disease is responsible for a significant part, but it is aggravated by risk factors emerging after renal transplantation with immunosuppressive agents being one of the key contributors. The decrease in bone mass is particularly prominent during the first 6–12 months after transplantation, continuing at a lower rate thereafter. Bone mineral density measurements do no...

Diet and lifestyle considerations for patients with prostate cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Our search demonstrated that most diet and lifestyle factors identified from observational studies have limited data from RCTs. Few items have shown early evidence of benefit. The best recommendation for patients with prostate cancer is to form a habit of wellness through healthy eating, aerobic and resistance exercise, and psychological well-being. Future trial development should consider how interventions can be implemented into real world practice. PMID: 31327752 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Nutrients, vitamins, probiotics and herbal products: an update of their role in urolithogenesis
AbstractNutrients, vitamins, probiotics, and herbal products may be risk factors, or alternately, protect against the formation of urinary stones. The purpose of this review was to update knowledge of the role of nutraceuticals in renal stone formation. A systematic search of the relevant literature published in PubMed in the last ten years was conducted and a narrative review of the data from the included studies was done. Search screened 513 studies that were reduced to 34 after evaluation by title and abstract; other 38 studies were retrieved by references of the selected studies. Beverages high fluid intake confirmed p...

The use of cinacalcet after pediatric renal transplantation: an international CERTAIN Registry analysis
ConclusionsThis pilot study suggests that cinacalcet as off-label therapy for SHPT after pediatric RTx is efficacious in controlling post-transplant SHPT with acceptable tolerability. Continuing cinacalcet even with normal PTH can lead to dangerous life-threatening hypocalcemia. Therefore, at each subsequent visit, the need to continue cinacalcet must be assessed.
