25(OH)D deficiency has been associated with significantly worse physical performance in individuals normal renal function. We examined the function, muscle strength and balance age- gender-matched 25 Stage 3 - 4 CKD patients 47 5 on peritoneal dialysis (PD) vitamin D by objective methods evaluated effect of replacement tests: "timed up go" (TUG) test, gait velocity timed chair stand stair climb dynamic tests (TUG postural stability test), static test (functional reach test) these two groups....
♦Older in-center hemodialysis patients have a high burden of functional disability. However, little is known about on home chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). As opting for are expected to play greater role in their own care, we hypothesized that relatively low number PD would require help with basic self-care tasks (ADL) and instrumental activities daily living (IADL). ♦We used cross-sectional study design measure the proportion aged 65 years older undergoing outpatient who needed day-to-day...
More than 40% of elderly hemodialysis patients experience one or more accidental falls within a 1-year period. Such are associated with higher mortality. The objectives this study were to assess whether also common in established on peritoneal dialysis and evaluate if have risk mortality who do not fall.Using prospective cohort design, ages ≥ 65 years chronic from April 2002 2003 at the University Health Network recruited. Patients followed biweekly, occurring first 15 months recorded....
Data about the morphological changes in peripheral blood smears during COVID-19 infection and their clinical severity association are limited. We aimed to examine characteristics of cells detected pathological rate and/or appearance whether these findings related course by evaluating smear at time diagnosis patients.Clinical features, laboratory data, fifty patients diagnosed with PCR was evaluated diagnosis. Peripheral samples were compared age sex-matched 30 healthy controls. Pictures...
♦ Background Accidental falls are common in the hemodialysis (HD) population. The high fall rate has been attributed to a combination of aging, kidney disease-related morbidity, and HD treatment-related hazards. We hypothesized that patients maintained on peritoneal dialysis (PD) would have fewer than those chronic HD. objective this study was compare risk between cohorts elderly PD, using prospective data from large academic facility. Methods Patients aged 65 years or over in-hospital PD at...
Purpose: To evaluate whether there are alterations in total macular volume (TMV) and foveal retinal thickness (FT) values during pregnancy. Methods: This study included 60 healthy pregnant women their first, second, third trimester (groups 1, 2, 3) 20 nonpregnant (group 4). TMV FT were measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) each group. Results: Mean was 1.43 ± 0.56 mm3, 1.88 0.54 2.04 0.66 mm3 1.35 0.41 groups 3, 4, respectively. 199.20 64.35 µ, 274.35 67.45 287.95 95.50 µ 192.100...
Aims . Kidney disease was found to be a major risk factor for vitamin D deficiency in population study of patients hospitalized. The aims the were describe prevalence inpatients and outpatients nephrology department during fall evaluate effect assessing serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) levels previous supplementation cholecalciferol on status. Methods We studied 280 subjects total, between October January. recruited from following two groups: (a) (b) unit. examined documentary evidence...
The safety profile of favipiravir in patients with severe renal impairment has not been investigated and available data are insufficient. study aimed to compare the incidence favipiravir-associated adverse events amongst varying function statuses.
An increase of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels is commonly observed in patients on dialysis. Increased circulating BNP are related to future cardiac events and associated with shorter survival chronic hemodialysis (HD). During the first 1 or 2 years dialysis, peritoneal dialysis (PD) have been shown an improvement left ventricular hypertrophy, blood pressure, volume status. This study compares status PD HD without cardiovascular disease for less than 36 months. The correlation between...
Background: In patients with heart failure plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are correlated to urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels. We prospectively evaluated the relationship among glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and serum NGAL NT-proBNP in 20 type II diabetic macroalbuminuria at 4-month intervals. Results: Compared age, gender-matched healthy controls, had higher NGAL, lower eGFR. The eGFR of...
<i>Objective:</i> We evaluated the clinical features and effects of various treatment modalities on course in patients diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). <i>Materials Methods:</i> Retrospective investigation medical records 168 at our center between 1994 2005 was done. <i>Results:</i> Of patients, 115 (68.4%) were women 53 (31.6%) men. At initial diagnosis, median age 33 years (range: 15–91) 139 (82.7%) had signs bleeding. Follow-up...
The relationships between increased wall stress, myocyte death, and ventricular repolarization instability in patients with heart failure were reported.The brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a predictor of stress hearth; troponin I (cTnI), death; QT dispersion (QTd), reflection evaluated age- sex-matched asymptomatic 29 hemodialysis (HD) 26 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, the finding compared.Serum BNP cTnI levels HD (722.9 +/- 907.9 pg/mL, 0.05 0.07 microg/L, respectively), just before HD,...
Objective. The risk of pulmonary embolism is well recognized as showing an increase in oncological patients. We report a case presenting with initially, which was then diagnosed testicular cancer. Clinical Presentation and Intervention. A 25-year-old man admitted to the emergency department complaint dyspnoea. Thoracic tomography, lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, increased D-dimer level revealed embolism. For aetiology embolism, left orchiectomy performed patient germinal cell tumour...
Gluteal compartment syndrome is a rare reason of rhabdomyolysis resulting from atraumatic origin, and leading to renal failure. Beside other causes like drug abuse, alcohol intoxication, antihyperlipidemic medications prolonged operation duration in fi xed position an important cause this syndrome. Male sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension obesity are risk factors for gluteal associated kidney We report 56 year old obese patient with medical history who undergo nephrectomy syndrome, chronic...
BK polyomavirus infection is a challenging complication of renal transplantation. The management not standardized and based on reports from transplantation centers' experiences, usually with small sample sizes. Therefore, we aimed to present our countrywide experience virus nephropathy (BKVN) in transplant recipients.
Objective: This study presents the causes of death-censored graft loss among kidney transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: Medical records patients, who had undergone transplantation at a tertiary center between November 2010 December 2018, were retrospectively reviewed. Death-censored was described as an irreversible failure signified by return to long-term dialysis (or re-transplantation). Inclusion criteria were: patients transplantation, subsequently lost their first graft,...
Objectives: In the past decade, advances in immunological therapy have increased survival of kidney recipients and their grafts.However, it has not achieved desired level improvement.This study aims to reveal mortality among recipients.Methods: Medical data patients, who had undergone transplantation (KT) between November 2010 December 2020, were retrospectively reviewed.Inclusion criteria adult recipients, died.Exclusion pediatric en bloc dual KT, with missing data, a primary...
Objective: Demographic and laboratory values predicting clinical severity in Covid-19 patients have been a matter of curiosity since the beginning disease. We aimed to show relationship between disease comorbidities, features patients.
 Material Methods: The data diagnosed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), were analyzed retrospectively. divided into 3 groups according their as mild, moderate severe. Comorbidities Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) at time diagnosis calculated for each...
