Constitutive activation of the Wnt pathway/β-catenin signaling may be important in aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). However, significant gaps remain our understanding prevalence and clinical outcomes after adrenalectomy APA patients harboring CTNNB1 mutations. The molecular expression CYP11B2 gonadal receptors adenomas were also explored. Adenomas from 219 (95 men; 44.2%; aged 50.5 ± 11.9 years) showed a high rate somatic mutations (n = 128, 58.4%). majority them harbored KCNJ5 116,...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiovascular surgery is a serious complication. Little known about the ability of novel biomarkers in combination with clinical risk scores for prediction advanced AKI. In this prospectively conducted multicenter study, urine samples were collected from 149 adults at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h surgery. We measured urinary hemojuvelin (uHJV), molecule-1 (uKIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), α-glutathione S-transferase (uα-GST) π-glutathione...
The aim of this retrospective, nationwide, matched cohort study was to investigate the association serous retinal detachment with having end-stage renal disease (ESRD) while on dialysis. included 94,024 patients ESRD dialysis registered between January 2000 December 2009 in Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. An age- and sex-matched control group comprised selected from Longitudinal Database 2000. Information for each patient collected index date until 2011. Twenty-seven 11...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) carries an increasing incidence rate worldwide and increases the risk of developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as well medical expenses during post-AKI course. The Taiwan Consortium for Kidney Injury Renal Diseases (CAKs) has thus launched a nationwide epidemiology prognosis dialysis-requiring acute (NEP-AKI-D) study, which prospectively enrols critically ill patients with AKI. Through thoroughly evaluating prognostic factors AKI, we hope to lower AKI ESRD from...
Although statin treatment is recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages I⁻IV, its potential benefits have not been reported in advanced CKD patients. Non-diabetic (pre-dialysis patients, estimated glomerular filtration rate <15 mL/min/1.73 m²) were enrolled from a National Health Insurance Research Database population of 23 million. Statin users and non-users matched using propensity scoring analyzed Cox proportional hazards models, taking mortality as competing risk...
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is common following cardiac surgery (CS). Body weight (BW) may be an amenable variable by representing the summation of nutritional and fluid status. However, predictive role perioperative BW changes in CS patients with severe postoperative AKI never explored. This study aimed to evaluate this association.This was conducted using a prospectively collected multicenter cohort, NSARF (National Taiwan University Hospital Study Group on Acute Renal Failure)...
The influence of acute kidney injury (AKI) on subsequent incident atrial fibrillation (AF) has not yet been fully addressed. This retrospective nationwide cohort study was conducted using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2010. A total 41,463 patients without a previous AF, mitral valve disease, and hyperthyroidism who developed de novo dialysis-requiring AKI (AKI-D) during their index hospitalization were enrolled. After propensity score...
Objectives To examine whether urinary excretion of cysteine-rich protein 61 (Cyr61), an acknowledged proinflammatory factor in kidney pathologies, increases chronic disease (CKD) and is associated with subsequent rapid function decline. Design An observational cohort study. Setting In the nephrology outpatient clinics a tertiary hospital Taiwan. Participants We enrolled 138 adult CKD outpatients (n=12, 32, 18, 29 stages 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4 5 CKD, respectively) between February October 2014...
The purpose of pulse analysis system is to provide a platform for researchers analyze, share, and store patients' data. Researchers can use the extract features through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), harmonics, Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD), then take advantage former result gather statistics classify patients two-sample t-test or paired-sample t-test. A group working in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) have done an experiment examine whether find out acute kidney...
