Abstract Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio ( NLR ) was introduced as a potential marker to determine inflammation in end‐stage renal disease ESRD patients. Recently, platelet‐to‐lymphocyte PLR and were found positively correlated with inflammatory markers including tumor necrosis factor‐α TNF ‐α) interleukin IL )‐6 cardiac noncardiac Data regarding its association are lacking hemodialysis HD peritoneal dialysis PD Hence, we aimed the relationship between , This cross‐sectional study involving...
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...
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have elevated serum levels of inflammatory mediators including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin (IL)-6. Systemic inflammation was found to be correlated coronary artery (CAD) in this population. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) introduced as a potential marker determine cardiac non-cardiac disorders. Data regarding NLR its association are lacking. We aimed the relationship between ESRD patients.This...

Baseline laboratory radiological characteristics, COVID-19 treatments during hospitalization, need intensive...
Abstract Background We aimed to present the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcomes of our multicenter cohort adult KTx recipients with COVID-19. Methods conducted a multicenter, retrospective study using data patients hospitalized for COVID-19 collected from 34 centers in Turkey. Demographic findings, laboratory parameters (hemogram, CRP, AST, ALT, LDH, ferritin) at admission follow-up, treatment strategies were reviewed. Predictors poor analyzed. The primary...
Summary Background and objectives Malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis/calcification (MIAC) endothelial dysfunction are the most commonly encountered risk factors in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease ESRD patients. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is true visceral fat depot heart. The relationship between CAD EAT was shown patients with high coronary artery disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate MIAC syndrome Design, setting, participants, & measurements Eighty 27...
Chronic inflammation was found to be correlated with coronary (CAC) and thoracic peri-aortic calcification (TAC) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) introduced as a potential marker determine cardiac noncardiac disorders. Data regarding NLR its association TAC CAC are lacking. We aimed the relationship between vascular ESRD This cross-sectional study involving 56 patients (22 females, 34 males; mean age, 49.9 ± 14.2 years) receiving peritoneal...
Sexual dysfunction, including erectile is common in patients with uraemia. Despite successful treatment of male sexual dysfunction sildenafil non-uraemic population, its efficacy dialysis unknown.In this study, 35 HD (mean age 48+/-12 years) and 15 CAPD 44+/-12 were included. In the baseline period, haemoglobin, serum urea, albumin, Kt/V, several hormonal parameters, Beck depression scale, penile Doppler blood flow, (peak systolic velocity after intracavernous papaverine administration)...
<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...
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)....
Abstract Background The most common cause of end-stage kidney disease is diabetes mellitus (DM). commonly used renal replacement therapy in our country and many countries around the world hemodialysis (HD). Glycemia control important these populations. In this study, we aimed to screen for glycemic complications a large population diabetic HD patients country. Methods 16043 were screened 253 dialysis centers Turkey. 5038 included study. At participating centers, patients' history,...
HELLP syndrome, a syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets may occur in pregnancy with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, its significant complication is acute renal failure (ARF).The aim study was to determine frequency outcome complicated by ARF.Thirty-nine patients pregnancy-related ARF were treated between Jan 1, 1989 1999. In these patients, the most frequent causes (n = 14; 36%), postpartum hemorrhage 10; 26%), pre-eclampsia/eclampsia 6;15%) abruptio placenta 4;10%). Seven...
In this study, clinical features, developing complications, and results of thirty-six patients, which were followed up in our Obstetrics Gynecology Nephrology departments between 1997 2001, with the diagnosis HELLP syndrome searched retrospectively. The mean age cases 30.2 +/- 5.9 (17-46) years. was diagnosed on average 32.6 4.8th (23-41) week gestations. Seventy percent severe preeclampsia 30% mild preeclampsia. Eleven (30%) nullipara twenty-five (70%) multipara. arterial systolic blood...
In recent years, the incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) in pregnancy has decreased developed countries. This cause this decline been reported to be liberalized abortion laws and improved prenatal care. The aim study was determine if etiology ARE our population had undergone similar changes. Between January 1, 1980 1 1997 number patients with ARF 487. 74 (15%) these patients, associated pregnancy. frequency 17.4% between August 1985, 15.4% September 1985 November 1989, 13.5% December 1989...
