Objective To determine the distribution of blood pressure (BP) and prevalence, awareness, treatment control hypertension in Turkey (PatenT). Design A population-based cross-sectional epidemiology survey was carried out 2003. Setting Twenty-six cities from seven geographical provinces Turkey, with proportional representation urban rural populations. Participants two-stage stratified sampling method used to select a sample adult population over 18 years age. The total number participants 4910....
Aim: The current data have proven the pivotal role of inflammation in development atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio has increasingly been reported as a measure systemic inflammation. This study assessed N/L investigated its associations standard inflammatory biomarkers different stages CKD patients. Material methods: cross-sectional included 30 predialysis, 40 hemodialysis, 35 peritoneal dialysis...
This population-based epidemiological study was aimed to evaluate the daily salt intake and its relation blood pressure in a representative group of Turkish population. The enrolled normotensive hypertensive individuals (n = 1970) completed questionnaire including demographics, dietary habits, hypertension awareness drug usage. Blood measured estimate consumption, 24-h urine samples were collected. urinary sodium excretion 308.3 ± 143.1 mmol/day, equal 18.01 g/day. Salt higher obese...
Objectives: The study aimed to assess the current epidemiology of hypertension, including its prevalence, awareness condition and treatment control, in Turkey evaluate changes these factors over last 10 years by comparing results with awareness, treatment, control hypertension (PatenT) data (2003), as well parameters affecting hypertension. Methods: PatenT 2 was conducted on a representative sample Turkish adult population (n = 5437) 2012. Specifically trained staff performed collection....
Previous research has shown daily salt intakes in Turkey to be far above the recommended limits. Knowing sources of dietary could form a basis for preventive strategies aimed towards reduction. This study investigate Turkey. A sub-group (n = 657) was selected from PatenT2 population, which represented urban and rural areas 4 major cities (Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Konya). questionnaire inquiring about sociodemographic characteristics, medical histories, detailed histories diet, consumption...
Abstract Aim This study aims to determine the frequency of COVID‐19 related AKI and identify early predictors AKI. Methods is a single‐center, retrospective, observational study. Hospitalized patients between 24/03/2020 31/05/2020 were included in All evaluated for renal dysfunctions with urine dipstick, protein/creatinine ratio, albumin/creatinine ratio spot urine, serum cystatin C, creatinine level on hospital admission, 28th day admission. To assess utility these parameters predict AKI,...
Objective Hypertension incidence is an important determinant of hypertension prevalence and progression. Few studies have been published on in developing countries despite the high observed. The aim this study was to investigate Turkey. Methods designed as epidemiological cohort which included population Prevalence, awareness, treatment control Turkey (PatenT) Study had 4910 volunteers. Blood pressure measurements were performed three times a questionnaire used obtain data present status...
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) provides a safe, home-based continuous renal replacement therapy for patients. The adherence of the patients to prescribed fluids cannot always be monitored by physicians. Remote monitoring automated peritoneal (RM-APD) can affect patients' compliance with treatment and, thus, clinical outcomes.We aimed evaluate outcomes remote access program.This was an observational study. We analyzed effect RM-APD on adherence, adequacy, and change in blood pressure control, sleep...
Abstract Background The largest data on the epidemiology of primary glomerular diseases (PGDs) are obtained from databases countries or centers. Here, we present extended results Primary Glomerular Diseases Study Turkish Society Nephrology (TSN-GOLD) Working Group. Methods Data patients who underwent renal biopsy and received diagnosis PGD were recorded in database prepared for study. A total 4399 47 centers evaluated between May 2009 2019. at time kidney analyzed. After exclusion without...
Abstract The data regarding primary FSGS (pFSGS) from different parts of the world differ. While prevalence pFSGS has been increasing in Western countries like USA, it follows an inconsistent trend Europe and Asia a decreasing Far Eastern such as China last two decades. There are undetermined factors to explain those national geographic discrepancies. Herein, we aimed reveal current with clinical histopathological characteristics Turkish adults. This study includes biopsy-proven patients...
Abstract No consensus has emerged among different guidelines concerning how many blood pressure (BP) measurements should be performed at office visits in the diagnosis of hypertension. The purpose this study was to examine compatibility various multiple average BP and 24‐h monitoring (ABPM) patients followed up posthoc analysis Cappadocia hypertension cohort. A total 1158 by 207 were examined. results then classified as G1 (average 1 st 2 nd BP), G2 3 rd ), G3 , 4 th G4 2nd, 3rd, 5 G5 all...
This study was performed to investigate the potential relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and proinflammatory cytokines in hemodialysis (HD) patients effect of HD on cytokine production. Serum interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 β), 6 (IL-6) tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) measurements echocardiographic studies were 35 stable patients. A variety probable risk factors for LVH including age, duration, blood pressure (BP), body mass index, lipid profile, hemoglobin, albumin,...
Background/aim: Fetuin-A, a circulating inhibitor of calcification, is marker inflammatory-nutritional state. We evaluated the association between serum fetuin-A levels and vascular intima-media thickness, nutritional inflammatory markers in different stages chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials methods: CKD patients were sampled for calcium-phosphate parameters [highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)], levels. Intima-media thicknesses common carotid arteries (CIMT) measured....
Abstract YKL‐40 has been introduced as a marker of inflammation in different clinical situations. The association between and chronic renal failure patients not researched currently. objectives this study were to establish serum concentrations dialysis with compared healthy subjects explore its relationships proinflammatory cytokine, interleukine‐6 (IL‐6) an acute phase mediator, high sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP). population included hemodialysis ( N = 43; mean age 40.9 ± 14.5),...
Silymarin (Silybum marianum) has some protective effects against drug toxicity (cisplatin, acetaminophen, adriamycin, gentamicin etc.). Colistin is a strong antimicrobial, which frequently used in the treatment of resistant gram-negative bacterial infections recent years although it nephrotoxic potential. This study was aimed to determine role silymarin colistin-induced acute nephrotoxicity (CIN). Rats were randomly divided into four groups. The control group treated with tap water whereas...
