Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and immunosuppression, such as in renal transplantation (RT), stand one of the established potential risk factors for severe coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Case morbidity mortality rates any type infection have always been much higher CKD, haemodialysis (HD) RT patients than general population. A large study comparing COVID-19 outcome moderate to advanced CKD (Stages 3–5), HD with a control group is still lacking. Methods We conducted...
Background and Objectives: Bone mineral disease (BMD) is a prevalent complication of advanced chronic kidney (CKD). The risk fractures can be assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) quantitative computed tomography (QCT). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness two imaging modalities in identifying bone status individuals with pre-dialysis renal assess their correlation turnover markers. Materials Methods: controlled cross-sectional study, conducted at single center from...
Hemodialysis (HD) patients have increased risk for short-term adverse outcomes of COVID-19. However, complications and survival at the post-COVID-19 period not been published extensively.We conducted a national, multicenter observational study that included adult maintenance HD recovered from confirmed A control group without COVID-19 was selected in same center. We investigated characteristics follow-up compare them with non-COVID-19 group.A total 1223 (635 group, 588 group) 47 centers were...
Objective The objective of this study is to investigate the diagnostic utility microRNAs (miRNAs) for distinguishing between urine samples from patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) and those Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Methods In multicentric, cross-sectional investigation, we enrolled diagnosed DKD, individuals primary biopsy-proven FSGS, healthy controls. top 5 miRNAs (hsa-mir-21, hsa-mir-30a, hsa-mir-193a, hsa-mir-196a, hsa-mir-200a) were selected quantify in...
Objectives Anemia is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease patients; however, its identification and management have been reported to be suboptimal. In this study we aimed describe the prevalence, severity, risk factors, treatment of anemia different nephrology centers, among patients who were not given renal replacement therapy. Materials methods We performed a multicenter cross-sectional three clinics. Adult (>18 years age) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 60...
Background and Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is usually linked with polypharmacy patients are invariably at risk of complex medication regimens. The present study was designed to estimate the potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) through prescription patterns provided Nephrology Transplant Unit Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty patients. Materials Methods: 96 were included in study. pDDIs among every combination prescribed drug analyzed using Thomson Reuters Micromedex. Results: We...
Abstract Aim Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a promising method in determining the body compartments haemodialysis patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate agreement between two widely used methods: single‐frequency and multi‐frequency bioelectrical analyses. Methods Maintenance patients were enrolled study. Single‐frequency analyses performed consecutively before haemodialysis. A second was right after session. third one hour We weight change as measure of fluid removal during...
Compared to the general population, mortality is significantly increased in renal transplant recipients. In coronary artery calcification (CAC) and its evolution over time are associated with cardiovascular all-cause mortality, study of this biomarker could provide useful information for describing long-term progression heart disease recipients.We followed up a cohort 113 patients by performing three multi-detector computed tomography studies 83.6 ± 6.8 months. Data analysis was performed...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Data on the long-term mortality and morbidity of living kidney donors are scarce. In general population, coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression CAC predictors future cardiac risk. We conducted a study to determine in renal transplant donors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> used multidetector computed tomography examine 75 former A baseline follow-up scan were performed changes scores evaluated each subject individually...
Fabry disease (FD) is a rare metabolic disorder, in which lifelong enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) constitutes the cornerstone of disease-specific therapy. In this study, we examined effects COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures on management FD patients.We collected data three main domains; mood status, adherence to ERT, infection. We used Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) evaluate statuses patients Morisky Medication Adherence (MMAS) Report (MARS) assess patients' non-disease...
Introduction: Data regarding inactivated vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) are limited. We aimed to investigate humoral responses induced by CoronaVac compared BNT162b2 this population. Methods: In multicenter prospective cohort study, adult MHD who lacked a history of COVID-19 and decided get vaccinated with or were enrolled. Participants provided serum samples before, 1 3 months after 2 doses. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies against...
Compared with the general population, risk of death is substantially higher in renal transplant recipients than age- and sex-matched individuals population. In coronary artery calcification (CAC) predicts all-cause cardiovascular mortality. this study we aimed to analyse these relationships recipients.We examined 178 patients prospective observational cohort study. We measured CAC multidetector spiral computed tomography using Agatston score at multiple time points. Overall, 411 scans were...
Purpose: BK virus (BKV) nephropathy has increasingly become an important cause of morbidity in renal transplant recipients. We evaluated the frequency and associated factors for BKV infection a center performing mainly living donor transplantations over long time period. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients were included. Quarterly visits planned to examine urine decoy cells measure DNA blood urine. Renal biopsy was performed case deteriorated allograft function. Serological...
Real-life data on the predialysis management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is scarce. In this study, our aim was to investigate current clinical practice and compliance among nephrologists with KDIGO disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) guidelines.In multicenter cross-sectional we recruited stage 3 - 5 non-dialysis (ND) CKD patients recorded related CKD-MBD from two consecutive outpatient visits 6 months apart. We calculated therapeutic inertia for hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia,...
Coronavirus related lockdown measures had a severe psychological toll. We investigated the effects of population-wide infection control on hemodialysis (HD) and oncology patients' mood statuses.An electronic survey was used to collect data. Profile Mood States (POMS) Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) measure statuses.The study groups composed 400 HD, 234 patients, 276 controls. HADS anxiety total POMS scores were significantly higher in group than that both HD finding consistent with...
