Background/Aims: Obesity has known to be a modifiable risk factor associated with worse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but few studies have examined the impact of obesity on CKD incidence general population. The purpose this study was investigate role body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) as predictors incident evaluate weight reduction prevention.Methods: A total 2,711 participants from community-based cohort normal renal function were prospectively analyzed. Among...
Povidone-iodine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic applied topically to treat wounds and prevent their infection. There have been several case reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) in burn patients after povidone-iodine irrigation receiving the substance as sclerotherapy agent for management lymphocele renal transplantation. However, biopsy-confirmed AKI ingestion has not previously described.A 47-year-old man who had apparently ingested solution presented with nausea, vomiting, reduced urine...
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and kidney cancer is increasing, but studies on the effects MetS its components development have had ambiguous results. Overall, 7,613,865 patients from Korean National Health Insurance System were analyzed followed up until 2017. Patients with 3 necessary five diagnosed MetS. divided into subgroups according to two consecutive physical examinations conducted every years. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used survey independent...
<b><i>Background/Aims: </i></b>This study aimed to investigate the potential beneficial anti-proteinuric effect of an add-on aldosterone blockade and impact escape phenomenon. <b><i>Methods: </i></b>We retrospectively analyzed data 304 patients with persistent proteinuria, who were administered spironolactone (25 mg/day) after treatment angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) for >3 months....
Abstract Introduction The role of inflammation in the pathophysiology polycythemia vera (PV) is important. presence JAK2 mutations important diagnosis PV, and serum levels erythropoietin (EPO) also play a supporting role. However, EPO show some limitations. neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) platelet‐to‐lymphocyte (PLR) are readily available marker inflammation. Thus, we examined whether NLR & PLR might diagnose PV erythrocytosis patients. We compared diagnostic values. Methods...
<i>Background:</i> The present study was designed to investigate the role of local renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), endothelin (ET) and natriuretic peptide (NPS) for development renal fibrosis progressive disease in experimental unilateral ureteral obstructed (UUO) rats. <i>Methods:</i> Male Sprague-Dawley rats (180–200 g) were unilaterally by ligation proximal ureters 14 days. Control treated same way, except that no ligature made. mRNA expressions...
Abstract Obesity is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality in the general population major independent factor for cardiovascular disease. We sought to evaluate effect overweight/obesity on clinical outcomes patients vasospastic angina (VA) at 1-year follow-up. The VA-KOREA (Vasospastic Angina Korea) registry was cohort 11 centers from 2010 2015. primary endpoint composite cardiac death (CD), new-onset arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Using body mass index (BMI)...
<b><i>Background/Aims: </i></b>Blood pressure (BP) variability is known as a poor prognostic factor for cardiovascular outcomes. This study assessed the significance of BP in association with increasing age hemodialysis patients. <b><i>Methods</i></b><b><i>: </i></b>We retrospectively analyzed 2,174 patients on from March 2005 to December 2012. The impact intradialytic and interdialytic all-cause mortality according...
Large-scale studies about epidemiologic characteristics of renal infarction (RI) are few. In this study, we aimed to analyze the incidence and prevalence RI with comorbidities in South Korean population.We investigated medical history entire adult population between 2013 2019 using National Health Insurance Service database (n = 51,849,591 2019). Diagnosis were confirmed International Classification Disease, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Epidemiologic characteristics,...
Backgraound/Aims Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has been widely used for treating critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Whether CRRT is better than intermittent hemodialysis the treatment of AKI remains controversial. We sought to identify clinical features that can predict survival who are treated CRRT. Methods analyzed data 125 received between 2005 and 2007. identified demographic variables, underlying diagnoses, duration CRRT, mean arterial blood pressure...
Abstract The radiodensity and volume of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on computed tomography angiography (CTA) may provide information regarding cardiovascular risk long-term outcomes. EAT is associated with mortality in patients undergoing incident hemodialysis. However, the relationship between radiodensity/volume all-cause end-stage renal disease (ESRD) maintenance hemodialysis remains elusive. In this retrospective study, (in Hounsfield units) cm 3 ) coronary CTA were quantified for...
Abstract Background and Aims Obesity is a representative modifiable risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to investigate whether both body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) changes of WHR during follow-up are factors development incident CKD. Method A total 2 711 participants from community-based cohort with normal renal function were prospectively analyzed. Among obesity, we analyzed the change in evaluate association obesity reduction CKD development....
Abstract Background and Aims Magnesium is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative effects, potentially inhibiting renal fibrosis. Additionally, it believed that magnesium can inhibit vascular calcification, improving cardiovascular outcomes. However, this remains a topic of controversy. This study aims to investigate the association between serum levels CKD progression as well Method We analyzed 1,893 patients from The KoreaN Cohort Study Outcomes in Patients With...
Despite the pivotal role of hepcidin in development anemia among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), association between serum levels and CKD progression has been never investigated. We here hypothesized that elevation might be associated risk incident end-stage (ESKD) pre-dialysis CKD.
Background: A limited number of studies have investigated the impact gender on renal function and clinical outcomes after ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), these provided discrepant results.Methods Results: This study was based a retrospective cohort, Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR). Patients (n = 7,679) with discharge diagnosis STEMI were analyzed to investigate association outcomes. Compared men, women older exhibited more comorbidity, including...
Serum hemoglobin (Hb) level affects the viscosity of blood. Several studies have reported that Hb is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome. However, there a paucity evidence on association between serum and risk subclinical atherosclerosis. Thus, objective this study was to investigate relationship carotid plaque in health checkup cohort.
