AIM: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease in CKD. Pent...

Disorders of the vessels, that cause organ demage in Essential Hypertension (HT), may returned at early stage. In this study, vascular disorders were evaluated in 225 HT patients with a mean age of 48.1±8.6 (%77.3 of th...

Insulin resistance and sympathetic activation are shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. The role of sympathetic activation in essential hypertension has been documented by a variety of tec...

Hypervolemia and uremic toxins result in accelerated atherosclerosis in chronic renal failure by causing endothelial dysfunction hypertension. The vast majority of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy are hypert...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between early stage hypertensive retinopathy (HTRP) and endothelial dysfunction (ED) in atherogenesis. MATERIAL and METHODS:Atotal of 99 subjects consisting of 73 patients di...

Magnesium is one of the 11 most abundant elements in the human body and it is required for the action of over 300 enzymes. It is the most common intracellular, bivalent cation. It is located in quite important structures...

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...

AIM: One of the problems in treating anemia of CRD is iron deficiency, and intravenous (IV) iron supplementation has become an accepted therapy of iron deficiency in CRD patients. However, it is known that free iron is p...

OBJECTIVE: A number of studies report CXCL-16 as a new chemokine that mediates the collection of leukocytes and adhesion of macrophages to coronary artery smooth muscle cells, and stimulates atherosclerosis. However, the...

OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis is seen more frequently in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) due to the oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Besides lowering total and low density lipopr...

OBJECTIVE: Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) is elevated in uremic patients and related with albuminuria and endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to clarify the relationship of PTX-3 with inflammatory markers (hsCRP and IL-6) in patients...

OBJECTIVE: Apelin-13 is a biomarker that was shown to be related to cardiovascular disease risk in peritoneal dialysis patients. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of serum apelin-13 levels with infl...

The preservation solution in cadaveric renal transplantation has been shown to be one of the major factors influencing the incidence of postoperative allograft dysfunction. The purpose of our study was to examine the ult...

OBJECTIVE: Stem cells may be involved in the repair processes of renal tissues during various disorders. We aimed to search the presence of recipient originated cells in renal allograft tissues from patients with various...
