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...
Abstract Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients are at increased risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to describe clinical, laboratory, and radiologic characteristics determinants mortality in a large group MHD hospitalized COVID-19. Methods This multicenter, retrospective, observational collected data from 47 nephrology clinics Turkey. Baseline laboratory radiological characteristics, COVID-19 treatments during hospitalization, need intensive...
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.
<b>Background:</b> Omentin-1, a novel adipokine identified in visceral adipose tissue, is negatively correlated with different conditions such as diabetes, obesity and inflammation. However, changes serum Omentin levels associated the degree of renal dysfunction metabolic risk factors CKD patients has not yet been revealed. In present study, we aimed to investigate level Omentin-1 related parameters diabetic non-diabetic patients. <b>Methods:</b> 64 (30 diabetic, 34 non-diabetic) 27 healthy...
Background Recent studies have shown that neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a strong indicator in determining inflammation cardiac and non‐cardiac diseases. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between proteinuria NLR chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Between 2011 2012 files of total 1000 CKD attending outpatient clinic were retrospectively scanned. Patients with DM, disease, malignancy or stage 5 excluded. After these excluded, 69 3 4...
<b><i>Background/Aims: </i></b>Fabry disease is a treatable cause of chronic kidney (CKD) characterized by genetic deficiency α-galactosidase A. European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) recommends screening for Fabry in CKD patients. However, this based on expert opinion and there are no reports the prevalence stage 1-5 CKD. Hence, we investigated patients not receiving renal replacement therapy. <b><i>Methods: </i></b>This prospective study...
Objectives: To investigate the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and glycometabolic indices, to compare MPV according HbA1c levels, analyse difference in patients with without microvascular complications.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 60 Type 2 diabetic 50 age-and sexmatched non-diabetic controls.We obtained demographic, clinical laboratory data including MPV, count, fasting postprandial blood glucose (FBG PBG), haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), lipid profile,...
Background and aim: Omentin-1 is suggested to affect inversely atherosclerosis (AS). Data about omentin-1 limited chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our aim was examine in non-diabetic CKD patients who are not dialyzed investigate its relationships with inflammation carotid AS. Materials Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study 55 30 healthy controls. Baseline clinical laboratory data were obtained for all participants. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels measured according the manufacturer's...
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...
Hyperhomocysteinemia is considered to be an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD). It already known that overt hypothyroidism gives rise a slight hyperhomocysteinemia. However, the effects of subclinical on levels homocysteine are not known. In this study, we have evaluated and effect L‐thyroxine treatment in patients with hypothyroidism. For purpose study selected 33 women diagnosis but without clinical CAD. After euthyroidism...
Hyponatremia and its rapid correction may cause osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) with damage to the pontine extrapontine areas of brain. The become persistent or regress disappear during follow-up. We describe case a 35-year-old woman chronic renal failure who was admitted emergency department profound hyponatremia which corrected rapidly after hemodialysis treatment. During follow-up, she developed quadriparesis dysartria. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated abnormalities...
Objective Older adults with co-morbidities have been reported to be at higher risk for adverse outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The characteristics COVID-19 in older patients and its clinical different kidney groups are not well known. Methods Data were retrieved from a national multicentric database supported by Turkish Society Nephrology, which consists retrospectively collected data between 17 April 2020 31 December 2020. Hospitalised aged 18 years or confirmed diagnosis...
Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate correlation between preeclampsia and blood plasma homocysteine levels. Material methods:The research conducted in a group 114 pregnant patients who were subdivided into three groups consisting of: 30 women with severe preeclampsia, 24 mild 60 healthy controls.Patient data included age, parity, body mass index (BMI), systolic diastolic pressure, homocysteine, folic acid, vitamin B12, hematocrit, hemoglobin, urine nitrogen, uric acid...
Hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) may commonly develop in Covid-19 patients and is expected to have higher mortality. There little comparative data investigating the effect of HA-AKI on mortality chronic disease (CKD) a control group general population suffering from Covid-19.HA-AKI development was assessed stage 3–5 CKD without among adult hospitalized for Covid-19. The role AKI outcome (in-hospital admission intensive care unit [ICU]) with compared.Among 621 (age 60 [IQR:...
A 49‐year‐old female patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis presented with fever, abdominal pain and loss of appetite. While fluid bacterial cultures remained negative, she had no relief after 3 weeks broad‐spectrum antibiotics for possible peritonitis. In a sample, Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA was detected by nucleic acid amplification using real‐time PCR testing. The initiation antituberculous therapy (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol pyrazinamide) followed resolution...
Patients receiving dialysis therapy are known to be at increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). The aim this study was evaluate the frequency, clinical characteristics and course TB disease in patients treated our institution. Medical records 330 regular haemodialysis (n=219) continuous ambulatory peritoneal (n=111) (172 male, 158 female; mean age 55+/-16 y) who were cared for tertiary university hospital between December 2002 January 2006 retrospectively evaluated. Nine cases (2.7%) occurred,...
To investigate antiproteinuric effect of spironolactone in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and/or angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs).This study was performed 33 CKD proteinuria. 24 h urinary protein excretion and biochemical parameters were obtained before the therapy. Then, (25 mg/d) added to The examined for eight weeks.At weeks, there a significant decrease proteinuria (p < 0.001, 47.9% decrease). Systolic...
Sjögren's syndrome is mainly affects the exocrine glands.Patients usually complain of persistent dryness mouth and eyes.However, nonexocrine organs such as kidneys are often affected in these patients.Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) interstitiel nephritis common syndrome.Nonetheless, severe hypokalemia paralysis secondary to dRTA unusual initial manifestation syndrome.Here, we describe a case 48 year old women admitted emergency setting with hypokalemic diagnosed syndrome.
