We aimed to evaluate possible risk factors assocıated wıth acute kidney injury (AKI) after hip fracture surgery in the elderly individuals.Level II diagnostic study, evidence obtained from prospective cohort study 1 center with level 2, and 3 patients.A total of 165 patients (>65 years) femoral neck were enrolled this between 2007 2010. Two dropped for inadequate laboratory follow-up data. Patients failure or renal replacement therapy (RRT) history AKI at admission excluded.Nephrology...
OBJECTIVE: Cardiac and kidney diseases are common, the impact of acute injury (AKI) on patient outcome is well known. We aimed to investigate incidence cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) risk factors outcomes associated with disease. METHODS: conducted a retrospective cohort study comprising 289 patients coronary (ACS) decompensated heart failure (ADHF), examining AKI defined according Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) classification, contributing AKI, in-hospital mortality hospital re-admission....
<b><i>Background/Aims: </i></b>The aim of the present study was to investigate effect combination aliskiren with paricalcitol on experimental diabetic nephropathy (DN) model in rats. <b><i>Methods: </i></b>Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups 8 each, namely control (Group C), diabetes D), A), P), and plus A+P) groups. Aliskiren given by oral-gavage at a dose 50 mg/kg/day once daily for 12 weeks. Paricalcitol...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> This study aimed at investigating the possible protective effect of erythropoietin beta on experimental diabetic nephropathy (DN) model in rats. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sprague Dawley rats (n = 32) were allocated into 4 equal groups 8 each, control (Group C), diabetes D), E), and treated DN E + D) groups. Streptozocin (65 mg/kg) was used to induce 10-week old Erythropoietin given intraperitoneally a dose 500 IU/kg/3...
SUMMARY: Background: The management of steroid‐resistant glomerulopathies remains a clinical problem. In this trial, we report observation 43 patients treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for glomerulopathies. Methods: All underwent renal biopsies, and immunofluorescence light microscopy examinations were conducted in all cases. had been prednisone at dose 1 mg/kg per day least 8 weeks. Of the patients, 16 cyclophosphamide five cyclosporine A before MMF started. primary study outcomes...
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, known as baker's yeast, is also used a probiotic agent to treat gastroenteritis by modulating the endogenous flora and immune system. However, since there have been increasing reports of fungemia due S.cerevisiae its subspecies S.boulardii, it recommended that probiotics should be cautiously in immunosuppressed patients, people with underlying diseases low-birth weight babies. To emphasize this phenomenon, report, case developed patient given treatment for...
Prolongation of repolarization dispersion (QT interval dispersion) measured from the 12-lead surface ECG has been associated with sudden cardiac death and ventricular tachyarrhythmias in a variety disorders. The aim our study was to assess effects hemodialysis (HD) continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) on QT end-stage renal disease patients. 20 chronic HD patients (mean age 57.75 ± 13.79 years) CAPD 50.79 14.94 who had no complaints symptoms arrhythmias as well healthy volunteers...
<i>Background:</i> Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the major cause of AA amyloidosis in Turkey. M694V mutation MEFV gene was suggested to be associated with severe clinical features and FMF. <i>Methods:</i> In this study, frequencies three FMF-related mutations (M694V, M680I V726A) were investigated FMF patients (AA-FMF, n = 37) without (non-AA-FMF, 35), secondary related non-FMF inflammatory conditions (S-AA, 19) a non-inflammatory control group (n 185) by...
Background. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease seen primarily in Sephardic Jews, Turks, and Armenians. The manifests as recurrent attacks of serositis. most important complication FMF the development renal failure due to AA type amyloidosis. There has not been extensive experience with replacement therapy Nevertheless, there may be a concern about possibility higher rates morbidity mortality amyloidotic patients maintained on chronic hemodialysis. Moreover,...
