Despite some improvements in dialysis therapies, depression still remains an important problem chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of and its treatment with quality life (QOL) HD patients.97 patients (52 male, 45 female, mean age 55 +/- 16 years) were enrolled. All had been dialyzed for more than 6 months. order evaluate QOL patients, a short form Medical Outcomes Study (SF-36) was used. Depression assessed by using Beck Inventory (BDI)....
Proteinuria, developing after renal transplantation may influence allograft and patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of proteinuria on survival. Among 514 patients, 56 (11%) patients with good function were evaluated retrospectively. Patients classified as group P (20 permanent proteinuria, Male/Female: 16/4) T (36 temporary M/F: 29/7) according type proteinuria. Also, considering amount M (32 massive 29/3) NM (24 non‐massive 16/8). The mean time interval between...
Autonomic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients is one of the components uremic neuropathy. In this prospective study, we investigated effect renal transplantation on autonomic with long-term time-domain and frequency-domain heart rate variability. Fourteen (10 male, 4 female; mean age 33 ± 11 (range 16–50) years) were examined before at early after period (mean 4.6 1.5 3–7.5) months). The time spent was 16.7 15.6 6–65) months. analysis, significant increases all parameters except pNN50 (SD,...
The depression of the immune system in chronic uremia is a well-known phenomenon but role serum zinc (Zn) levels on both cell-mediated and humoral immunity still controversial. aim this study was to investigate effect Zn supplementation antibody response multivalent influenza vaccine (MIV) hemodialysis patients (HP). Twenty-six HP 11 healthy subjects (HS) were vaccinated with MIV. Hemodialysis randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 (13 HP) supplemented 120 mg ZnS04 after each dialysis...
Background. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is prevalent in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL, turn, related to morbidity mortality ESRD patients. Previous studies have shown improved HRQoL ED treatment using sildenafil vardenafil. However, no study examined the effects or vardenafil on impotent Furthermore, never tested its safety profile not determined The aim this randomized crossover was compare measures scores as...
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a common infectious agent in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this prospective case-control study, we aimed to investigate the influence of HCV on erythropoietin (EPO) and iron requirement HD patients.49 patients (24 male, 25 female, mean age 47 +/- 15 years) were included. The time spent dialysis was 39 38 months, follow-up 1 year for study. Biochemical analyses complete blood counts together with status (transferrin saturation serum...
Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage (SRH) is a rare and potentially fatal condition. Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) may cause SRH in hemodialysis patients. However, presentation of hematoma as hemoperitoneum peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients exceedingly rare. We report 44-year-old male PD patient who presented with secondary to hematoma. The reason was rupture the cysts ACKD. underwent unilateral nephrectomy subsequent disappearance hemoperitoneum. importance this case lies fact...
Natriuretic peptides are structurally similar, but genetically distinct, hormones that participate in cardiovascular homeostasis by regulating blood and extracellular fluid volume pressure. We investigated the distribution of natriuretic their receptors goat (Capra hircus) heart tissue using peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) immunohistochemical method. Strong staining atrial peptide (ANP) was observed cardiomyocytes, while strong for brain (BNP) ventricular cardiomyocytes. Slightly stronger...
Twenty-four uremic patients on hemodialysis who had never been treated with vitamin E or related drugs and 12 control normal renal function were studied. Hemodialysis randomly divided into two groups; oral (300 mg/day) for eight weeks controls given placebo. Serum E, prolactin, FSH, LH, free testosterone levels measured in all before after treatment. After the treatment serum prolactin significantly decreased (50.8 vs 15.4 ng/ml, p<0.01). Vitamin increased (1.11 1.22 mg/dl, p<0.05). LH...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect calcitriol treatment on glucose intolerance in uraemia Thirty one patients haemodialysis who had never been treated with vitamin D or related drugs, and 12 healthy control subjects normal renal functions were studied. Uraemic randomly divided into two groups; 16 oral (0.5 μg/day) for 8 weeks,and 15 uraemic given aplacebo In all these cases, before weeks after treatment,baseline serum glucose, insulin, calcium, parathormone (PTH), 1,25 (OH)2D3...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect 1,25 (OH)2D3 treatment on lipid levels in uremic hemodialysis (HD) patients. Thirty-one HD patients who had never been treated with vitamin D nor related drugs and 12 healthy subjects normal renal functions were studied. Uremic randomly divided into two groups. Sixteen oral calcitriol (0.5 micrograms/day) for 8 weeks. 13 given placebo. In all these cases before after weeks treatments; serum total lipid, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol,...
We evaluated what placental pathologies were associated with adverse preterm births.Placental findings, classified according to the Amsterdam criteria, correlated infant outcomes. The fetal vascular lesions, inflammatory responses other than histological chorioamnionitis (HCA), and placentas combined maternal malperfusion (MVM) HCA excluded.A total of 772 evaluated. MVM was present in 394 placentas, 378. Early neonatal sepsis, retinopathy prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, death...
Background/aim: The clinical presentation of pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a milder course than the adult COVID-19 syndrome. has three clinicobiological phases: initiation, propagation, and complication. This study aimed to assess pathobiological alterations affecting distinct courses in age groups versus population. We hypothesized that critical biogenomic marker expressions drive mild presentations COVID-19. Materials methods: Blood samples were obtained...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect r-HuEPO treatment on free triiodothyronine (FT 3 ), thyroxine 4 thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating (FSH), luteinizing (LH), testosterone and prolactin levels in uremic hemodialysis patients. Twenty-four patients were given with a dose 60 U/kg as intravenous bolus injection at end each dialysis session. Once hematocrit value patient had reached range 30-35%, adjusted so keep constant. Twenty taken control group....
Metabolic alkalosis is a rare occurence in hemodialysis population compared to metabolic acidosis unless some precipitating factors such as nasogastric suction, vomiting and alkali ingestion or infusion are present. When develops, it may cause serious clinical consequences among them sleep apnea, resistent hypertension, dysrhythmia seizures. Here, we present 54-year-old female patient who developed severe due baking soda relieve dyspepsia. She had volume overload uncontrolled hypertension...
