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...
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...
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.
Abstract Background Pruritus is a common problem in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and haemodialysis patients. There are few studies on the clinical characteristics of uremic itch, cause which still unknown. Objectives The aim this study was to define prevalence pruritus CAPD Methods A questionnaire used evaluate 52 289 patients two units. relationship various factors medical parameters itch examined. Results Of 341 patients, 177 (51.9%) had at time examination, 97 (28.4%)...
We investigated patient and technique survival factors affecting mortality in Turkish peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.This was a retrospective study. 423 PD patients were included. The demographic, clinical, biochemical data collected from the medical records. Clinical outcomes failure.Mean age at start of 46.0 +/- 14.3 years mean duration 37.1 28.3 (median: 30, range: 4-137) months. Diabetes mellitus most common cause end-stage renal disease (35.2%), followed by hypertension (14.7%)....
Chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) continues to be an option in the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Medical, social, and logistic considerations are needed determine most suitable for ESRD patient. Peritoneal has been advancing terms technique, new exchange systems, a generation solutions. A survival advantage PD patients noted over first 1 - 2 years after onset dialysis. Most may need both dialytic modalities time, therefore sequence options is important. Compared with...
Abstract The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate long‐term effects arteriovenous fistula (AVF) on the development pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and relationship between blood flow rate AVF artery pressure (PAP) in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). This performed 20 ESRD. Before an surgically created for hemodialysis, were evaluated by echocardiography. Then, all patients. After mean 23.50 ± 2.25 months, second evaluation Also, measured at echocardiographic...
Background. The objectives of the present trial were to compare side effects and safety two intravenous iron preparations (iron-dextran, iron-sucrose) in patients with end stage renal disease. Methods. A total 60 randomized assigned one treatment groups n = 30; iron-sucrose, 30). standard test dose 25 mg low molecular weight iron-dextran iron-sucrose administered over 15 minutes during initial visit, monitoring very closely for adverse reactions. If this was well tolerated, 75 diluted 100 mL...
To investigate the prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and possible contributing factors for PAH in patients receiving regular continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).The study included 135 CAPD 15 disease-free controls. Patients that had chronic obstructive disease, severe mitral or aortic valve connective tissue history embolism, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, chest wall parenchymal lung disease were excluded. All controls examined using echocardiography...
Peritonitis is currently one of the leading complications continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment. Aminoglycosides and vancomycin are used in treatment CAPD peritonitis despite their potential risk for ototoxicity. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) a molecule prophylaxis many diseases related to oxidative stress. The aim this study was examine whether ototoxicity due antibiotics can be prevented by NAC.Sixty patients, who first developed attacks from February 2008 April 2010 were...
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney (ADPKD) patients. To clarify temporal relationship between ADPKD, hypertension loss renal function, we examined these factors patients with early-stage ADPKD who did not yet have hypertension.Fifty (42% males, 36.6 ± 9.9 years, no blood pressure medication) 50 healthy controls (44% 35.4 6.4 years) were studied cross-sectionally. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), cardiac morphology aortic...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Early onset of hypertension and its consequences account for the great majority deaths in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components have been shown ADPKD kidneys independent systemic RAS. Thus, we examined urinary angiotensinogen (UAGT) levels as a biomarker intrarenal RAS status with/without healthy subjects. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Eighty-four...
Background Hypervolemia is a risk factor for left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertension in peritoneal dialysis patients. Icodextrin improves volume control by increasing ultrafiltration Aim To examine the effects of twice-daily icodextrin administration on blood pressure patients with hypervolemia failure. Method Results Administration twice daily resulted significant reduction mass index (LVMI) end third month ( p < 0.05). The LVMI was also once-daily group Mean receiving...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) exhibit endothelial dysfunction (ED) despite normal levels of renal function. Hyperuricemia occurs in these patients and has been postulated to affect ED through the generation oxidative stress. We therefore investigated prevalence its association serum uric acid early-stage ADPKD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional design was used for...
In this study our aim was to evaluate the relationship between degree of fluid status and arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Fluid determined different methods including overload bioimpedance (Body Composition Monitor, BCM), calf normalized resistivity (CNR), plasma N-terminal fragment B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) extracellular intracellular water ratio (ECW/ICW).Sixty PD patients were evaluated. They stratified into...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common hereditary disorder with unclear mechanism. Currently, overt hypertension and increased renal volume are the best predictors of function. In this study, we assessed usefulness selected circulating microRNAs (miRs) to predict progress in cohort ADPKD.Eighty ADPKD patients (44.6 ± 12.7 years, 40% female, 65% hypertensive) 50 healthy subjects (HS; 45.4 12.7, 44% female) were enrolled study. Serum levels 384 miRs determined by...
