Introduction Data on antibody response following COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients is scarce. We performed a cross-sectional study to investigate among recipients. Design recruited 46 with RT-PCR confirmed and 45 without history. also constructed two control groups (COVID-19 positive negative) from historical cohort of health care workers. used age sex-based propensity score matching select eligible subjects groups. measured SARS-Cov-2 IgG levels quantitatively using the Abbott...
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) treatment consists of maximal supportive care and, for high-risk individuals, immunosuppressive (IST). There are conflicting results regarding IST. Therefore, we aimed to investigate IST among IgAN patients in Turkiye.
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sexual disorders in stage 2 - 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) during predialysis and its relationship with laboratory parameters.
Objective: The virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in Wuhan, China, December 2019. Recent studies have proven SARS-CoV-2 is also a nephrotrophic virus. Methods: Our study aimed to evaluate kidney function and general health of patients with previously diagnosed glomerular diseases follow-up after infection. For this purpose, the data 36 who were routinely followed up for glomerulonephritis had infection at Kocaeli University Faculty Medicine...
Therapeutic plasmapheresis exchange (TPE) treatment is used successfully in many neurological diseases. At our center, TPE cases addition to various other In this study, data of patients who underwent between January 2010 and December 2014 were analyzed. total, 775 sessions, 114 cycles, 86 patients’ date evaluated The median age was 49.8 years. 75 followed the neurology department 11 internal medicine intensive care unit. most common indications for myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis,...
Myosin Heavy Chain 9 (MYH9) missense mutations have been characterized by large platelets, leukocyte Döhle bodies, in variable extent sensorineural deafness, cataracts, and glomerulopathy.A 25-year old female with triad of thrombocytopenia, hearing loss end stage renal disease (ESRD) presented uremic symptoms a history chronic thrombocytopenia since childhood.She was misdiagnosed ITP, Bernard -Soulier Alport syndrome chronologically.First she treated oral methylprednisolone, then pulses...
Abstract Background and Aims IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common cause of primary glomerulonephritis in Turkey, as well all over world. Along with frequent occurrence, deleterious renal outcome odds make treatment approaches important. Additionally, for high-risk individuals immunosuppressive (IST) recommended. However, studies to date revealed conflicting results regarding IST. Therefore, we aimed investigate IST among IgAN patients which leading Turkiye. Method The data 1656 Primary...
Abstract Background and Aims We aimed to investigate the characteristics survival data of biopsy-proven primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in adult patients across Turkey. Method Patients with FSGS were included by retrospectively scanning database Turkish Society Nephrology Glomerular Diseases Study Group (TSN-GOLD). Demographic laboratory at baseline, sixth month, first year, third year recorded. secondary FSGS, missing excluded. Results The study 1668 who met criteria. 1386...
Objective: Amyloidosis is disorder of various etiologies in which abnormally folded fibrillary protein deposits with more than thirty forms infiltrate into extracellular spaces affected organs. Renal involvement clinically characterized by decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria. The aim present study was to classify grade renal amyloidosis cases using amyloid prognostic score (RAPS) systems, correlate clinical data chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages. Methods:...
Abstract In this study, it is aimed to investigate the prevalence of sexual disorders in patients stage 2–5 chronic kidney disease and its relationship with laboratory parameters, including demographic, clinical especially metabolic acidosis. This a cross-sectional study consisting 110 predialysis healthy controls admitted nephrology out-patient clinics. IIEF (International Index Erectile Function) FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) questionnaire was applied control group. The between...
Abstract Background and Aims In IgA nephropathy (IgAN), which is characterized by mesangial accumulation, there the formation of circulating autoantibodies against galactose deficient IgA1s (Gd-IgA1). IgG / Gd-IgA1 immunocomplexes accumulate in glomerular mesangium play a role pathogenesis IgAN. Recent studies have suggested relationship between deposition severity inflammation. However, detection presence routine immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) may fail. This study aims to investigate...
Amaç: Periton diyalizi (PD) hastalarında rezidüel renal fonksiyonun (RRF) anemi tedavisi, fosfor kontrolü ve beslenme parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmektir
<b><i>Aim:</i></b> This study aimed to explore the role of peritoneal ultrafiltration (UF) in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) patients for fluid and metabolic control. <b><i>Background:</i></b> Peritoneal UF is safely efficiently used management CRS. It has been shown provide efficient hypervolemic patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Thirty (20 males 10 females) CRS were treated by dialysis (PD) UF. The baseline data...
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between quality sleep (QoS) and demographic, clinical, psychosocial factors in kidney transplant recipients. Materials Methods: We examined sixty-four recipients (26 female, 38 male). Clinical, biochemical parameters were analyzed. QoS was evaluated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), health-related life (HRQoL) with SF-36 Health Survey depressive symptoms Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: A comparison good...
Amaç: Türkiye'de 2018 yılı sonu itibarıyla periton diyalizinin (PD) tüm diyaliz popülasyonu içindeki oranı yıllar düşüş göstererek %3,94 olmuştur. Bu azalmanın nedenleri, yeni PD hastalarında düşüşün yanı sıra PD'den ayrılan hasta ve böbrek nakli sayılarındaki artıştır (prevalans %21,24). çalışmada, 2010-2017 yılları arasında ünitemizde ayrılma nedenlerini araştırdık. Gereç Yöntemler: Çalışma hastalarının dosyaları gözden geçirilerek geriye dönük olarak gerçekleştirildi. Kısa süresi olan (<3...
Abstract Background and Aims Hematuria is one of the most common laboratory findings in nephrology practice. In different regions world, etiologic causes differ. To date, there no enough data regarding clinical histopathologic characteristics primary glomerular diseases (PGD) patients with hematuria our country. Method Data were obtained from national multicenter (47 centers) entered into Turkish Society Nephrology Glomerular Diseases (TSN-GOLD) database between May 2009 June 2019. The all...
Objective: To determine the patency rates and reasons for failure using different access routes tunneled hemodialysis catheters. 
 Methods: The records of patients who underwent insertion 14 French tunnelled catheters were retrospectively analyzed. Catheter survival was demonstrated Kaplan-Meier curve. exchange evaluated. Results: One hundred six 474 catheter exchanges (mean/patient 4.47±1.62). Access via right internal jugular vein (IJV) n=40, left IJV n=23, femoral (FV) n=18, FV n=11...
