Patients with renal disease who smoke have a poor functional prognosis, but the mechanisms involved not been explored. In this controlled study, effects of smoking and sham were compared in 15 healthy normotensive volunteers. All occasional smokers abstained from for 48 h as documented by urinary cotinine measurements. These data those seven patients biopsy-confirmed IgA glomerulonephritis, also smokers. Renal clearance examinations obtained after hydration supine position before while two...
Under semiambulatory conditions, 85 consecutive patients with the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes short duration (excluding islet cell antibodies or maturity onset young) were admitted to a self-control training program and examined in this study. A comprehensive renal assessment was performed, including evaluation albumin excretion rate (AER), hemodynamics, blood pressure (BP) profile, indicators genetic risk. AER > = 30 mg/24 h found 13 (15%) patients; two these patients, 300 h. By logistic...
The vital renal replacement therapy makes it impossible for dialysis patients to distance themselves socially. This results in a high risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and developing coronavuris disease 2019, with excess mortality due burden immunosuppression. We determined the efficacy 100-µg booster mRNA-1273 (Moderna, Cambridge, MA, USA) 6 months after two doses BNT162b2 (BioNTech/Pfizer, Mainz, Germany/New York, 194 SARS-CoV-2-naïve patients.
In recent years there has been a rapid increase in the number of dialysis-dependent diabetics Germany. Survival on dialysis is not satisfactory and damage acquired preterminal stage renal failure thought to play an important role. Late referral nephrologist insufficient quality medical management are contribute importantly poor outcome. This hypothesis was evaluated present study.The data all 173 diabetic patients (16 with type 1, 157 2 diabetes, 90 men, 83 women, mean age 63.3 [31-95]...
Uremia raises lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) serum concentration and the risk of arteriosclerosis in dialysis patients. The treatment high Lp(a) levels is not satisfactory today. decrease hypothyroid patients on L-T4 therapy raised question whether dextro-thyroxine (D-thyroxine) reduces only cholesterol, but also concentration. In a single-blind placebo-controlled study, influence D-thyroxine was evaluated 30 hemodialysis with elevated levels. quantified parallel by two methods, i.e., rocket...
Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and a more severe course COVID-19.We conducted quantitative serologic testing antibodies specific for the wild type Omicron variant concern before after third-dose vaccination, either mRNA-1273 (Moderna) or BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) in cohort 103 stable kidney (median [range] age, 58 [22-84] y, 57 men [55.3%]).Third-dose vaccination seroconversion rate from 57.3% to 71.8%. However, despite marked rise antibody...
Objective Angiotensin II (Ang II) increases insulin sensitivity in healthy volunteers. This effect is thought to be mediated, at least part, by an increase skeletal muscle blood flow. In the past it had been documented that some biological actions of Ang are altered diabetes. We addressed issue whether this also true for its action on sensitivity. Design and methods Twelve volunteers (aged 43 ± 9 years) 15 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) recent onset 45 were allocated random...
