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...
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.

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...
HELLP syndrome, a syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets may occur in pregnancy with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, its significant complication is acute renal failure (ARF).The aim study was to determine frequency outcome complicated by ARF.Thirty-nine patients pregnancy-related ARF were treated between Jan 1, 1989 1999. In these patients, the most frequent causes (n = 14; 36%), postpartum hemorrhage 10; 26%), pre-eclampsia/eclampsia 6;15%) abruptio placenta 4;10%). Seven...
Background. Adequate care of a hemodialysis patient requires constant attention to the need maintain vascular access (VA) patency. VA complications are main cause hospitalization in patients. The native arteriovenous fistula (NAVF), synthetic grafts (GAVF) and silastic cuffed central venous catheters (CVCs) used for permanent (PVA). CVCs primary method choice temporary access. But using this modality is increasing more PVA elderly patients when other not possible. aim study investigate...
In this study of 26 patients, clinical features diagnosed as urinary tuberculosis in our nephrology and urology clinics between 1993 2002 were investigated retrospectively. Fifteen patients (52%) male, mean age was 43.5 (18–71). Twenty percent the asymptomatic. Frequency-dysuria (46%), flank pain (33%), macroscopic hematuria (12%) presenting symptoms. Physical examination not diagnostically helpful most patients. Hematuria and/or pyuria detected 80% Eleven had positive urine cultures...
Eur J Clin Invest 2012; 42 (5): 534–540 Abstract Background Low serum sodium levels have been associated with mortality both in patients and without chronic kidney disease. In this study, we investigated association relation to glycemic control hemodialysis (HD) patients. Materials methods Between March September 2005, 697 prevalent HD were enrolled prospective observational study followed up for all‐cause cardiovascular mortality. The associations of concentration overall survival rates...
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) are commonly used for the treatment of anemia in hemodialysis (HD) patients, however, 5-10% these patients have resistance to ESA treatment. Hepcidin and neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) induced by inflammation proteins may take role resistance. Herein, we aimed investigate effects serum hepcidin, NGAL, transferrin C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on HD patients.A total 63 chronic (6.0 ± 17 years, M/F:44/19) 20 healthy controls 4...
Objective Older adults with co-morbidities have been reported to be at higher risk for adverse outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The characteristics COVID-19 in older patients and its clinical different kidney groups are not well known. Methods Data were retrieved from a national multicentric database supported by Turkish Society Nephrology, which consists retrospectively collected data between 17 April 2020 31 December 2020. Hospitalised aged 18 years or confirmed diagnosis...
Psoriasis is a hereditary, chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin. Generally, psoriatic process limited to skin; however, internal organs such as kidneys may be involved in course. Several glomerular diseases have been distinguished due renal histological findings patients date. The underlying pathogenetic mechanisms these associations remain unclear because number cases. We report case primary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) patient. This first reported that demonstrates...
ABSTRACT: Aim: Internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterization is often required to gain access for haemodialysis. Use of ultrasound guidance has reduced the complication rates this procedure. We hypothesized that nephrologists may perform IJV cannulation with a high technical success and low immediate under real‐time guidance. Methods: prospectively analyzed 323 patients (186 male, 137 female) who underwent The number needle punctures, success, time between injection local anaesthetic entry...
Patients who have vasculitis in pregnancy generally a grim prognosis. Vasculitis occurring during may more aggressive course and require treatment than at other times. A 29-year-old woman presented the 16th week of her third intrauterine was diagnosed as having active microscopic polyangiitis. Therapy consisting high-dose methylprednisolone cyclophosphamide instituted, but patient died pulmonary infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The pathogenesis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is unknown, and since no specific laboratory test yet available, the diagnosis FMF remains clinical. purpose this study was to review clinical characteristics patients with FMF.A total 96 were evaluated either retrospectively (for those diagnosed before 1997) or prospectively after 1997).The records 54 male 42 female studied.
