<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,...
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...
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening is strongly recommended in the pre-transplant evaluation of solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, although it remains inadequate many centers. We decided to investigate TB risk assessment, LTBI treatment, and registry rates Turkey.
<i>Aim:</i> Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary disease. It accounts for 5–10% of patients with end-stage renal (ESRD). The aim this multicenter study was to investigate demographic and clinical characteristics ADPKD. <i>Methods:</i> 1,139 ADPKD who were followed up at 12 different centers recruited study. investigated gender, age, smoking history, educational status, existence hypertension, hematuria, urinary tract...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder resulting from lack of alpha-galactosidase A (AGALA) activity in lysosomes. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> In this multicenter study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence FD renal transplant (Tx) recipients Turkey. We also screened dialysis patients as a control group. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> All Tx and were regardless presence primary...
This study examined the relationship between leptin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and insulin resistance in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Levels of insulin, IGF-1, IGFBP-3 common routine parameters were measured 45 (23 males 22 females) CKD healthy controls matched for age, gender body mass index. IGF-1 levels using a two-site immunoradiometric assay. Leptin an enzyme-linked immunosorbent A homeostasis model assessment computer-solved...
We wished to investigate potential causes of dialysis-induced hypotension (DIH), including the attenuated cardiovascular response sympathetic system activation during exercise and myocardial dysfunction.This study included 26 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with DIH, 30 ESRD without DIH (Non-DIH), control subjects. Each patient was evaluated echocardiography a symptom-limited treadmill stress test. The chronotropic index (CRI), heart rate recovery (HRR), systolic blood pressure (SBP...
Cardiovascular problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).The aim this study was to investigate coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) as marker endothelial dysfunction, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) subclinical organ damage insulin resistance (IR) cardiovascular risk factor ADPKD.Twenty-two normotensive ADPKD well-preserved renal function 19 healthy subjects were included the study. Creatinine clearances...
As in many countries, there is neither a surveillance system nor study to reveal the hemodialysis (HD) related infection rates Turkey. We aimed investigate rate among HD outpatients and implement CDC's system. A multicenter prospective performed patients. CDC National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) dialysis event (DE) protocol adopted for definitions reporting. During April 2016-April 2018, 9 centers reported data. total of 199 DEs 10,035 patient-months, overall DE was 1.98 per 100...
BACKGROUND Amyloidosis is a protein-misfolding disease characterized by the deposition of aggregated proteins in form abnormal fibrils that disrupt tissue structure, ultimately causing disease. very frequent untreated familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients and it most important feature determines prognosis FMF The mean platelet volume (MPV) has been previously studied. However, whether MPV level lower or higher compared to healthy controls remains topic ongoing debate. In this study, we...
COVID-19 is a recently discovered β-subtype coronavirus infection due to SARS-CoV-2. Approximately 20% of patients have moderate severe clinical manifestations and 5% progress critical illness. Kidney transplant form special group. In our study, we aimed evaluate the success COVID-gram score systemic immuno-inflammation index in predicting risk mortality during hospitalization among kidney patients.
Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate early predictors of critical illness and mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on clinical, biochemical, radiological, epidemiological findings.Materials Methods: This multi-center, retrospective study was conducted three centers included a total 206 confirmed COVID-19 cases using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Data survivors non-survivors were compared, examined.Results: Among the patients,...
Aim: This study aimed to examine the blood-borne viral infections such as hepatitis B, C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) determine risk factors in hemodialysis patients. Material Method: The datas of patients who underwent unit our hospital between March 1, 2020 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Their sociodemographic characteristics, habits, underlying diseases virological indicators related HIV obtained from patient files data processing system. Results:A total 96 included study....
Background: Renal transplant recipients tend to have a variety of skin diseases due multiple immunosuppressive medications, accompanying co-morbidities and prolonged survival with the transplantation procedure.The aim this cross-sectional study is present dermatological findings contributing factors in renal recipients.Materials Methods: Forty-one were examined by dermatologists between February May 2021.The etiology chronic failure, age at time transplantation, after current donor features,...
