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...
To evaluate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), and inflammation in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD).100 ESRD HD (mean ± SD age: 52.3 1.7 years, 52% were males) included this cross-sectional study. Data patient demographics, dry weight, body mass index, duration of (months), etiology ESRD, delivered dose dialysis (spKt/V), complete blood count, biochemistry inflammatory markers including hs-CRP...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and the severity of AKI linked to adverse outcomes. In this study, we investigated factors associated with in-hospital outcomes among hospitalized patients COVID-19 AKI.
<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,...
Abstract Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains understudied in disaster nephrology. This retrospective multicenter study explores the experiences of PD survivors following February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş Earthquake. Methods Adult patients from 11 affected cities were analyzed to assess challenges faced during and postearthquake, alongside clinical outcomes. Results Among 101 participants (median age: 45 years, median duration: 24 months), 57 female, with 79 on continuous ambulatory...
Although not mandatory for patients, many Muslims fast in Ramadan. We aimed to investigate the effects of long hours (17.5) fasting on renal functions patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Stage 3-5 CKD stable function were recruited this prospective observational study three months ahead Ramadan 2015. All instructed regarding possible deleterious dehydration caused by fasting. Forty-five (mean age 66.8 ± 10.3 years, 68.8% male) chose and 49 (mean, age: 64.1 12.6 51% fast. Clinical...
To evaluate the clinical outcomes and identify predictors of mortality in elderly patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.We conducted a retrospective study including all incident dialysis cases ≥65 years age treated from 2001 to 2014. Demographic data on initiation events during period were collected. Infectious complications recorded. Overall technique survival rates analyzed.Fifty-eight who began considered for analysis, 50 these included final analysis. Peritoneal exchanges performed by...
To assess the efficacy and safety of a consistent percutaneous procedure for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement in initiating immediate-start PD patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).In this single-center prospective observational study, we enrolled ESKD who were willing to undergo long-term PD. Tenckhoff catheters placed under local anesthesia by nephrologist, inner cuffs pushed underneath anterior rectus fascia purse-string sutures applied. Automated (APD) continuous...
Background . The aim of this study is to assess renal damage incidence in patients with solitary kidney and detect factors associated progression. Methods Medical records 75 were investigated retrospectively divided into two groups: unilateral nephrectomy (group 1) agenesis/dysplasia 2). According the presence damage, each group was subgroups: 1a/b 2a/b. Results Patients 1 older than those 2 (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) on short-term mortality and identify best cut-off point in Turkish maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) population.A total 100 patients MHD were included prospective single-center study. Demographic, anthropometric, biochemical data obtained from all patients. population followed up as a 12-month cohort primary outcome.Median (IQR) age HD vintage (M/F: 52/48) 53 (39.5 - 67) years 53.5 (11 104.7)...
Attaining and maintaining optimal “dry weight” is one of the principal goals during maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Recent studies have shown a close relationship between Na+ load serum vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) levels; thus, we aimed to investigate role VEGF-C as candidate biomarker hypervolemia. Physical examination, basic laboratory tests, N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP), echocardiography, bioimpedance spectroscopy data 3 groups study subjects...
Abstract Introduction: Air embolism (AE) is a rare, but serious complication that can occur in the practice of hemodialysis. In contrast to careful techniques and meticulous care during insertions manipulations central catheters, awareness risk AE following catheter removal less. We aimed analyze clinical characteristics all case reports with after summarize mechanisms, consequences, treatment prevention AE. Methods: addition our case, MEDLINE database was searched for removal, clinical,...
The aim of this study was to evaluate serum uric acid levels, inflammatory markers [C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR)] mean platelet volume (MPV) among hypertensive patients with or without chronic kidney disease (CKD) respect dipping status.A total 432 (n = 340) 92) CKD who had ambulatory blood pressure monitoring recordings were included. Correlation levels (CRP, PLR, NLR) evaluated as the logistic regression analysis for...
Thrombotic microangiopathies are a group of diseases presenting as microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and end-organ dysfunction. As the role complement system was elucidated in atypical uremic syndrome pathogenesis, eculizumab successfully introduced into clinical practice. We present large pedigree with multiple individuals carrying functionally significant novel factor H mutation. describe proband's presentation following presumed infectious trigger requiring plasma...
Leptin is a hormone and proinflammatory cytokine secreted from adipocytes, which functions to suppress appetite in healthy persons. Serum leptin levels are significantly elevated patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) primarily due decreased clearance by the kidneys The consequence of hyperleptinemia ESRD not fully understood. We aimed investigate association between serum nutrition/inflammation status non-obese chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients.65 chronic, anuric, nonobese (body mass...
OBJECTIVES:The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum albumin levels and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM) recordings in non-diabetic essential hypertensive patients.METHODS: A total 354 patients (mean [SD] age: 55.5 [14.3] years, 50% females) with hypertension 24-h ABPM were included.Patient nighttime daytime values, systolic diastolic dipping status average nocturnal recorded.The correlations evaluated, correlates determined via a linear...
