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...
Immunological and inflammatory mechanisms have been shown to role in both the development progression of diabetic nephropathy (DNP). There is need for more specific markers inflammation as ones commonly used are influenced by many factors. Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) seems be a potential candidate. We aimed our study evaluate changes PTX-3 levels different stages DNP its relationship with other markers.This cross sectional which patients at were involved. Patient divided into three groups according...
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a common hereditary disorder leading to end-stage kidney disease due the progressive formation of renal cysts. Nephrolithiasis frequent complication ADPKD, with prevalence significantly higher than in general population. However, its role progression remains underexplored. This study investigates impact asymptomatic nephrolithiasis on function decline ADPKD patients. A retrospective cohort 195 patients was followed at our nephrology...
The association of increased resistin levels in chronic kidney disease with diabetic nephropathy has not yet been clarified. Our aim was to analyze the relationship between serum and various microvascular complications patients.A total 83 patients were enrolled this cross-sectional study. subjects divided into 3 groups: 27 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) having no retinopathy (DRP) or microalbuminuria normal renal function included Group-1, 28 T2DM DRP Group-2, an estimated glomerular...
Aims. Vascular access is of prime importance for hemodialysis patients. We aimed to study early complications catheters placed in different central veins patients with acute or chronic renal failure without ultrasound (US ) guidance. Material and Methods. Patients who were admitted our unit between March 2008 December 2010 need vascular have been included. 908 examined their demographic parameters, primary disease, indication catheterization, type location the catheter, implantation...
Abstract Anti‐neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity is seen in some systemic necrotizing vasculitides. Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis are among the ANCA‐associated vasculitides (AASV) mortality very high when renal failure occurs together with alveolar hemorrhage. The role of plasmapheresis treatment these diseases has been studied retrospectively. Twelve patients AASV who had immunosuppressive medications have involved. Primary diseases, protocols,...
In this study, we aimed to examine the impact of fasting during month Ramadan on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (-ADPKD) patients with normal near-normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR).This was a prospective observational study ADPKD, majority whom had or GFR. Patients were divided into two groups: group (FG) and nonfasting (NFG). Assessments in NFG performed 1 week before after Ramadan, while FG assessed last day addition abovementioned visits. The following parameters...
Refugee dialysis is a worldwide growing dilemma with limited experience. This report presents the largest hemodialysis (HD) patient registry data of Syrian refugees in Turkey.Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and practice 345 HD patients during one year were collected analyzed.There prevalent at end 2016. Majority placed Southeast Anatolian Region. The majority (74.8%) are age range 20-64 years. Dialysis vintage Turkey less than 12 months 20.8% month 29.3% patients. vascular access was...
Abstract Background Many markers have been proposed for CVD risk assessment in dialysis population. Apelin is a peptide that has roles cardiovascular functions and volume regulation namely vasodilation, decreased blood pressure (BP), positive inotropic effect inhibition of antidiuretic hormone release. The aim this study was to examine relationship apelin levels with echocardiographic findings laboratory parameters related function bone mineral metabolism among peritoneal (PD) patients....
Introduction: Hepcidin, a small peptide hormone synthesized in the liver, plays central role regulation of iron metabolism. Hepcidin generation chronic kidney disease (CKD) is dependent on status, anemia, inflammation, and hypoxia erythropoietin levels. In our study, relationship between Prohepcidin levels inflammation indices non-diabetic uremic patients was investigated. Methods: This study has cross-sectional design which includes four groups: Non-diabetic 21 with stage 4 CKD...
Vaspin, a recently identified adipokine, is visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor that may have insulin sensitizing effect on tissue. Herein, we measured vaspin level in patients with different stages of diabetic nephropathy (DNP), and investigated the correlation other inflammatory parameters. 106 adult type 2 no known chronic disease were included grouped according to stage DNP: Albuminuria <30 mg/day estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 mL/min/1.73m(2)...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a multifaceted disorder influenced by various factors. Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) present notable risk factor for hospitalization among patients with CKD. This study aimed to assess the frequency and attributes of potential DDIs (pDDIs) in CKD ascertain concordance different Clinical Decision Support Software (CDSS). A cross-sectional was conducted nephrology outpatient clinic at university hospital. The pDDIs were identified evaluated using Lexicomp®...
Abstract Clinical presentation of tuberculosis is different in hemodialysis patients than the general population. This study aimed to analyze with Istanbul. Patients who were on a chronic program Istanbul for more 3 months and diagnosed have at least after start included. To discard effect immigration from other cities, we included only had started their dialysis Their demographic clinical data analyzed using Statistical Package Social Sciences Windows ver. 13.0. Of 925 screened 7 centers,...
Abstract Primary hyperoxaluria ( PH ) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by overproduction of oxalate due to specific enzyme deficiencies in glyoxylate metabolism. The primary clinical presentation the form recurrent urolithiasis, progressive nephrocalcinosis, end‐stage renal disease, and systemic oxalosis. Herein, we present case who was diagnosed at 47 years age after 6 on hemodialysis. He presented with fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, found have cachexia, diffuse edema,...
Introduction . All findings of preeclampsia appear as the clinical consequences diffuse endothelial dysfunction. Soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer apoptosis (sTWEAK) was recently introduced a TNF related cytokine in various inflammatory and noninflammatory disorders. sTWEAK found to be dysfunction patients with chronic kidney disease. In our study we aimed compare levels women corresponding healthy pregnant control group. Materials Methods The undertaken 33 normal women....
Objective. Urotensin II is a potent vasoactive peptide that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of many diseases. There no study reporting role and level this recipients kidney transplant. So we aimed to plasma levels urotensin group patients. Methods. Plasma were analyzed 110 subjects, who divided into three groups: 1 (35 transplant recipients), 2 (36 patients with chronic disease), 3 (39 healthy controls). Results. Analysis logarithmic transformation II, i.e. log (urotensin 1000)...
