Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A hallmark CKD progression renal fibrosis characterized by excessive accumulation extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation urinary proteome classifier CKD273 individual peptides with degree fibrosis. total, 42 biopsies urine samples were examined. The percentage per total tissue area was assessed in Masson trichrome stained tissues. analysed capillary...
Background: Undiagnosed and untreated atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) can result in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). To obtain an accurate diagnosis, it is crucial to recognize the symptoms signs suggesting (RAS) perform appropriate diagnostic treatment procedures afterward. Case Presentation: We present a case of 60-year-old female patient with hypertensive crisis, acute heart failure (HF), pulmonary edema as initial injury (AKI) caused by right RAS left occlusion presence...
Complement plays a central role in organ ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and allograft rejection. A retrospective observational study included cohort of 73 non-diabetic deceased donor kidney recipients. We collected data on recipient demographic, clinical laboratory parameters. The main outcomes our were delayed graft function (DGF) during five years posttransplant. Gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for complement components C3 (rs2230199, G_C) FH (rs800292, G_A) determined....
Aim: Patients with moderate and severe aortic stenosis ( AS ) without obstructive epicardial coronary disease have been shown to an impairment of flow reserve CFR ). We investigated the prognostic significance in predicting death during mid‐to‐long‐term follow‐up asymptomatic patients moderate/severe , preserved ejection fraction EF ), nonobstructed arteries. Method Result: A total 127 or (effective orifice area 1.5 cm 2 less), mean age 66 ± 11 were enrolled this prospective study. The...
This retrospective study aimed to compare risk factors for vascular calcification (VC) between pre-hemodialysis (HD) and prevalent HD adult patients while investigating associations with biomarkers. Baseline data from 30 pre-HD 85 were analyzed, in-cluding iPTH, vitamin D, FGF-23, fetuin-A, sclerostin VC scores (Adragao method). Preva-lence of was similar in both groups, but had more frequent ≥6. Pre-HD older, higher prevalence hypertension less use calcium phosphate binders. Both...
Vascular calcification (VC) is highly prevalent in dialysis (HD) patients, and its mechanism multifactorial. Most likely that systemic or local inhibitory factor overwhelmed by promoters of VC these patients. increased arterial stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate association myocardial remodeling analyze their relationship with (fibroblast growth 23-FGF23, Klotho, intact parathormon-iPTH, vitamin D) 56 HD patients (median values: age 54 yrs,...
Glycosylation may strongly affect protein structure and functions. A high risk of cardiovascular complications seen in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is, at least partly associated delayed clot formation, increased strength, cloth lysis. Taking into consideration that fibrinogen mediates these processes, we isolated from the plasma ESRD on peritoneal dialysis (ESRD-PD), examined glycosylation native its subunits by lectin-based microarray lectin blotting. Compared to healthy...
As digital health services are increasingly developing and becoming more interactive in Serbia, a comprehensive instrument for measuring eHealth literacy (EHL) is needed.
This retrospective study aimed to compare risk factors for vascular calcification (VC) between pre-hemodialysis (HD) and prevalent HD adult patients while investigating associations with biomarkers. Baseline data from 30 pre-HD 85 were analyzed, including iPTH, vitamin D, FGF 23, fetuin-A, sclerostin, VC scores (Adragao method). Prevalence of was similar in both groups, but had more frequent ≥ 6. Pre-HD older, higher prevalence hypertension less use calcium phosphate binders. Both groups...
Objective: There are no data about the prevalence of silent coronary artery disease in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients with normal exercise testing. Importantly, unmasking significant could influence choice/timing treatment these patients. Method: Exercise testing was performed on semi-supine ergobicycle. Cardiopulmonary analysis during testing, echocardiography, and laboratory at rest done. Standard clinical/electrocardiography criteria were assessed for symptoms/signs ischemia...
The global outbreak of COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has prompted significant public health concerns. This study focuses on 442 chronic hemodialysis patients diagnosed with emphasizing impact vaccination status clinical outcomes. investigates correlation between and laboratory findings, aiming to identify predictive factors for mortality. Results indicate that plays a crucial role in Full vaccination, evidenced two or three doses, is...
Coronary flow reserve is impaired in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis and has a prognostic value. We investigated whether the type II diabetes mellitus additionally impairs microvascular circulation assessed by coronary severe stenosis, normal left ventricular ejection fraction nonobstructed arteries.A total of 128 patients, mean age 66.35 ± 10.51 (58.6% males), were enrolled this study. Patients mellitus, those who treated for or had documentation confirming diagnosis considered....
<b><i>Background/Aim:</i></b> To investigate the role of oxidative stress (OS) in development chronic kidney disease (CKD) atrial fibrillation (AF). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We compared OS burden, determined at study inclusion as plasma concentrations oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), between stable AF patients (n = 256, mean age: 62.8 ± 9.3 years; 60.9% males) with preserved renal function, defined an estimated glomerular filtration rate...
As we already reported, fibrinogen fucosylation emerged as a prognostic marker of peritoneal membrane function in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis. After follow-up period 18 months, estimated the ability employed lectins, well other biochemical parameters, to serve mortality predictors these patients. Following univariate Cox regression analysis, ferritin, urea clearance, residual diuresis, hyperglycemia, and an increase signal intensity obtained with Galanthus nivalis...
Laboratory analyses reveal significant differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients in parameters like C-reactive protein, ferritin, white blood cell counts. Univariate multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression identify several factors influencing mortality, including comorbidities, pneumonia development, various inflammatory markers.
Background and Objectives: Abnormal arterial stiffness (AS) is a major complication in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients treated by dialysis. Our study aimed to determine the significance of AS for survival prevalent dialysis patients, as well its association with cardiovascular parameters or vascular calcification promoters/inhibitors both AS. Materials Methods: The involved 80 adult hemodialysis patients. Besides standard laboratory analyses, we also determined promoters inhibitors...
The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus had a great impact on population of patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). This study demonstrates infection and vaccination in 66 PD their outcomes during 6-month follow-up. is first research that has studied dynamics anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG serum effluent. In our research, 57.6% were vaccinated, predominantly Sinopharm (81.6%), which was also most frequently administered vaccine Republic Serbia at beginning immunization. During monitoring...
