OBJECTIVE: Early arterial stiffness has been shown in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients with preserved renal function. However, to our knowledge, no prospective study evaluated changes in arte...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Our knowledge about cardiovascular events after renal transplantation...

Abstract Background There are no known treatments that halt or reverse chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats. In rodent models, stem cell treatment has been associated with improvement in renal function parameters, especi...

OBJECTIVES: CKD is a worldwide threat to public health. Approximately 1.8 million people are currently being treated with renal replacement therapy including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and transplantation. The eti...

Cardiovascular diseases are the major causes of death in renal transplant patients. Arterial stiffness measurement is a risk marker for cardiovascular events. The recipient’s age, blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidem...

OBJECTIVE: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an endocrinopathy that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Arterial stiffness is commonly used to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is quantified by ...

Background Histologic features of pulmonary veno‐occlusive disease (PVOD) and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) have been described in dogs but without a thorough clinical description. Objectives To report the ...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular diseases are the main reason of death in patients with renal transplantation (Rtx). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is produced by osteoblasts and is linked to increased cardiovascular risk in Rtx. OPG ac...

IgA nephropathy is one of the most widely seen glomerulonephritides. It is one of the major causes of end stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical, biochemical, properties, treatment modal...

Cardiovascular disease and diabetic nephropahty account for much of the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes mellitus. Genotypic abnormalities of the reninangiotensin system have been suggested as a risk fact...

Renal infarction is an uncommon diagnosis with an incidence of about 0.007% of emergency department admissions. It is often mimicked by other more common diseases such as urolithiasis or other abdominal lesions at clinic...

OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery surgery is described as high risk surgery in CRF patients. Volume and electrolyte imbalance are some of the reasons of increased risk in this group. In this study, our aim was to determine preo...
