Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and immunosuppression, such as in renal transplantation (RT), stand one of the established potential risk factors for severe coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Case morbidity mortality rates any type infection have always been much higher CKD, haemodialysis (HD) RT patients than general population. A large study comparing COVID-19 outcome moderate to advanced CKD (Stages 3–5), HD with a control group is still lacking. Methods We conducted...
Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health problem worldwide that leads to end-stage failure and cardiovascular complications. We aimed determine the prevalence of CKD in Turkey, evaluate relationships between risk factors population-based survey.
Abstract Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients are at increased risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to describe clinical, laboratory, and radiologic characteristics determinants mortality in a large group MHD hospitalized COVID-19. Methods This multicenter, retrospective, observational collected data from 47 nephrology clinics Turkey. Baseline laboratory radiological characteristics, COVID-19 treatments during hospitalization, need intensive...
Abstract Background We aimed to present the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcomes of our multicenter cohort adult KTx recipients with COVID-19. Methods conducted a multicenter, retrospective study using data patients hospitalized for COVID-19 collected from 34 centers in Turkey. Demographic findings, laboratory parameters (hemogram, CRP, AST, ALT, LDH, ferritin) at admission follow-up, treatment strategies were reviewed. Predictors poor analyzed. The primary...
Background Recent data have suggested the presence of a reciprocal relationship between COVID-19 and kidney function. To date, most studies focused on effect function, whereas regarding function prognosis is scarce. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate association eGFR admission mortality rate COVID-19. Methods We recruited 336 adult consecutive patients (male: 57.1%, mean age: 55.0±16.0 years) that were hospitalized with diagnosis tertiary care university hospital. Data...
<title>Abstract</title> Background The devastating earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, February 2024, caused extensive trauma and loss of lives, causing unique challenges the management earthquake-related crush syndrome. current study investigates prognostic value pre-earthquake kidney function for mortality prediction patients diagnosed with Methods A multi-center retrospective analysis was performed using data from 469 treated at 46 nephrology clinics. Pre-earthquake Kidney function,...
In this study, we retrospectively evaluated all attacks of diarrhoea in our renal transplant recipients that came to medical attention between 1985 and 2000. Also, the clinical features patients with were compared without diarrhoea. We diagnosed 41 39 (12.6%) 308 during time period. An aetiology was detected 33 (80.5%) diarrhoeal episodes seven (17.1%) those specific agent help stool microscopy. The most frequent causes infectious agents (41.5%) drugs (34%). Six (14.6%) chronic six...
Background. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality among renal transplant recipients. In general population, coronary artery calcification (CAC) and progression CAC are predictors future cardiac risk. We conducted a study to determine in recipients; we also examined factors associated with impact analytic methods used progression. Methods. multi-detector computed tomography examine 150 prevalent recipients, who did not have documented cardiovascular disease. A baseline...
BACKGROUND:Renal involvement can complicate the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we aimed to analyze extent renal manifestations in patients with IBD (Crohn or ulcerative colitis) during biologic era. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Patients diagnosed and followed up for a period covering 16 years were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who received diagnosis clinical, endoscopic, histopathological findings older than 18 enrolled study. Demographic, laboratory, treatment data...
OBJECTIVE. We aimed to determine clinical and laboratory findings that were different between those patients who died survived look for factors associated with the mortality in amatoxin-containing mushroom poisoning. METHODS. The poisoning admitted our clinic 1996 2009 retrospectively evaluated. diagnosis was based on a history of ingestion, picture presence serum alpha-amanitin. Patients divided into two groups as survival group fatality group. Clinical compared groups. Relation variables...
Hemodialysis (HD) patients have increased risk for short-term adverse outcomes of COVID-19. However, complications and survival at the post-COVID-19 period not been published extensively.We conducted a national, multicenter observational study that included adult maintenance HD recovered from confirmed A control group without COVID-19 was selected in same center. We investigated characteristics follow-up compare them with non-COVID-19 group.A total 1223 (635 group, 588 group) 47 centers were...
The incidence of tuberculosis was found to be 5.8% (16/274) in 274 kidney graft recipients our centre between 1986 and 1998. were evaluated retrospectively. A total 51 received isoniazid prophylaxis for 6 months. prevalence similar (6% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.15) with no prophylaxis. Eight patients cadaveric donor kidneys 8 living kidneys. Lungs the most frequently affected site, as normal population. M. grew 7 patients. In 5 patients, also detected on direct microscopy polymerase chain reaction. 4...
In a retrospective evaluation, the incidence of systemic fungal infections (SFIs) in 296 kidney graft recipients admitted to our center between 1986 and 1999 was found be 4%. Eighteen percent 28 transplanted India 8% 12 Russia developed SFI. contrast, SFI encountered only 2% at center. The median time diagnosis 5 months after transplantation. lungs central nervous system were most frequently affected sites. common etiologic agent Aspergillus fumigatus (n = 7) but Candida spp. 1), Rhizopus 1)...
We aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, diagnostic, treatment and outcome features of patients with urinary tuberculosis (UTB). Patients UTB admitted seven separate centers across Turkey between 1995 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. The diagnosis was made by presence any clinical finding plus positivity one following: (1) acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in urine, (2) isolation Mycobacterium tuberculosis, (3) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for M. (4) histopathological evidence TB....
Viral and bacterial infections may be complicated by rhabdomyolysis, which has a spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities to life-threatening conditions such as renal failure. Direct viral injury well inflammatory responses cause rhabdomyolysis in the course coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). When presented with acute kidney (AKI), related higher morbidity mortality.
SUMMARY: Background and Results: By the end 2000, 22 224 patients were on renal replacement therapy (RRT) in Turkey. We investigated cost of RRT three medical faculties one private dialysis centre. Yearly expenses US$22 759 for haemodialysis (HD), 350 continuous ambulatory peritoneal (CAPD), US$23 393 US$10 028, respectively, first second years transplantation (Tx). In year, Tx was significantly more expensive than CAPD. However, after year transplantation, became economical both CAPD HD....
<i>Aim:</i> Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary disease. It accounts for 5–10% of patients with end-stage renal (ESRD). The aim this multicenter study was to investigate demographic and clinical characteristics ADPKD. <i>Methods:</i> 1,139 ADPKD who were followed up at 12 different centers recruited study. investigated gender, age, smoking history, educational status, existence hypertension, hematuria, urinary tract...
Objective. To evaluate the clinical features and outcome of patients with Behçet's syndrome (BS) amyloidosis to assess associated risk factors. Method.
