We investigated the relationship of monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) with diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy.A total 220 patients 70 healthy controls were enrolled. There was no difference in an MHR between normoalbuminuric controls. The nephropathy significantly higher than that both a significant positive correlation urine albumin creatinine MHR. In multivariate linear regression analysis, independently correlated ratio. Conclusion: An increased may be...

Abstract We report complete coding sequences of Orthohantavirus dobravaense (Dobrava virus) Igneada strains and phylogenetic characterization all available sequences. Our analyses suggested separation host-dependent lineages, followed by geographic clustering. Surveillance orthohantaviruses using genomes would be useful for assessing public health threats from Dobrava virus.

Background. Haemodialysis (HD) catheter-related blood stream infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with acute chronic renal failure. Methods. We conducted randomized, prospective, double-blinded trial investigating the clinical value bismuth-coated non-tunneled HD catheters need temporary short-term vascular access. A standard catheter (SC) was compared to surface-modified, bismuth-film-coated (FCC). After removal for any reason, both arterial venous lumina were...

Although guidelines recommend catheters as a last resort for establishing vascular access in patients undergoing dialysis, they continue to be used widely this purpose. Catheter-related atrial thrombus (CRAT) is rarely reported group of patients, and it can lead serious complications. The aim study was determine the incidence CRAT hemodialysis with permanent-tunneled catheters. A total 50 permanent were included study. diagnosis based on transthoracic echocardiography findings. Thrombus...

We aimed to determine whether red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values differ between patients with reactive amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis due chronic inflammatory disease in healthy participants. In this study, 33 AA 40 age- sex-matched controls were enrolled. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), RDW, count (PLT), MPV levels retrospectively obtained from our computerized patient database. found ESR, PLT be significantly higher compared the (P < .0001).

IMA and MPO are elevated in serum case of end-stage renal disease. Epicardial fat tissue thickness has been considered an indicator for cardiovascular diseases recently. The present study was aimed to examine the relationship epicardial (EFTT) with levels patients CKD.Predialysis CKD admitted Nephrology outpatient clinic, on haemodialysis healthy volunteers were included, 111 study. EFTT measurement performed transthoracic view using ECHO device.The analysis conducted among groups terms IMA,...

Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) have a higher risk of mortality compared the general population (Villar et al., 2007).Cardiovascular (CVD) is major cause in ESRD, and carries than (Foley 1998).The development profile for CVD ESRD patients has been attempted.Risk factors used as such include: C reactive protein (CRP) (Owen Lowrie,1998), serum myeloperoxidase (Kalantar-
