Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney (CKD). Patients CKD who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may have more ischemic events than without CKD. The aim our study was to determine incidence periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after elective stent implantation using Third Joint ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF PMI definition. In a single center prospective cohort study, we enrolled 344 consecutive underwent PCI period 39 months. Serum...

We have evaluated the clinical relevance of monitoring acute phase proteins in severe urinary tract infection. Body temperature, white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum amyloid A protein (SAA), C-reactive (CRP), α-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) and α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) were determined daily sera from 18 treated patients. Two patterns response could be identified: responders non-responders whose therapy had to changed. Mean values for each calculated both...
