RESUMEN
Impaired renal function was observed in sixteen Aotus nancymai 25 and 3 months following infection with the Uganda Palo Alto strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Decrease were noted in the clearance of endogenous creatinine, creatinine excretion, and urine volume while increases were observed in serum urea nitrogen, urine protein, urine potassium, fractional excretion of phosphorus and potassium, and activities of urinary enzymes. The results were suggestive of glomerulonephropathy and chronic renal disease

Urological and nephrological investigations were done on 100 diabetics and 21 controls. 77 percent of the diabetics were found to have vesical dysfunction. 58 percent of those with dysfunction also had decreased renal function. Evidence was produced in support of the theory that ascending urinary tract infection is a contributary factor in decreasing renal function in diabetics (AU)
