Hypertension (HT) is very common in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and this is the most important factor that increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this study, we determimined theprevalance ofHT ( 2140/90 mmHg...

Hypertension (HT) continues to be one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. It is assumed that blood pressure (BP) should, theoretically, be better-cont...

OBJECTIVE: Chronic antibody mediated rejection (CAMR) is a major therapeutic challenge for achieving long-term graft survival; treatment options are limited to several anti-humoral interventions. MATERIAL and METHODS:...

OBJECTIVE: In hemodialysis patients; there is a continuing tendency to metabolic acidosis. In studies, the relationship between serum bicarbonate concentration and dialysis mortality has been determined. In our study, th...

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...

Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome (LMBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease which is characterized by obesity, mental retardation, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly and hypogonadism. Here in we discussed a patient with LMB...

Objective: Prevalence of Toxoplasmosis which was increased in immune compromised patients were investigated in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis in Van region Method: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gon...

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to assess cognitive dysfunction, which is common in hemodialysis patients and difficult to diagnose, by an easily applicable test, the Mini Mental State Examination and Clock Drawing Test. MATER...

AIM: White coat hypertension has been described as continuously higher clinical blood pressure levels than day-time blood pressure levels. It has been known that the increased clinic blood pressure measurement in patient...

The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most frequent clinical symptom of dialysis-related amyloidosis. It is aimed to establish a correlation between hemodialysis duration (HD) and carpal tunnel (CT) and palmar radiocar...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiac autonomic dysfunction (COD) is one of the important factors implicated in the pathogenesis of primary hypertension (HT). Heart rate variability (HRV) measurement has been used widely to determine the C...

Eighteen steroid-responsive children with nephrotic syndrome were vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine (PNEUMO-23) in order to investigate the effectiveness and necessity of this vaccine and they were followed up for thr...

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...

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...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare depression, anxiety and quality of life in kidney transplant patients with normal population and to evaluate mental well-being. MATERIAL and METHODS: One hundred renal transplan...

OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD) is the most frequent complication seen in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Evidence suggests that inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of atheroscl...

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...
