Demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological findings all recorded. Survival rates analyzed using Kaplan-Meier plot.The follow-up 36 months, 10 (16.7%) died during period....

In patients with chronic renal failure, the main cause of mortality is cardiovascular disease. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are found to be related decreased survival in both normal population failure different studies. Our aim investigate relationship between cTnT BNP failure.58 haemodialysis were enrolled prospectively for study. Blood samples measurement collected after haemodialysis. The divided into 3 groups according measurements. Group I included <...

<br>We present a case of 32-year-old female who had been diagnosed tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) two years ago. In view serious hemorrhagic complication risk the selective embolization, we commenced her on oral rapamycin therapy for regression angiomyolipomas (AMLs). On 1^st year treatment, bilateral renal AMLs were regressed and embolization AML was performed after treatment. Rapamycin may regress lesions in TSC disease. Therefore, it increase surgical intervention.<br>
