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...

In this study, we aimed to investigate the condition of oxidative stress and antioxidative defence system in chronic hemodialysis patients. So, the malondialdehyde (MAD) levels, as the marker of lipid peroxidation, and t...

ABSTRACT Background Physical exercise is recommended for sarcopenia prevention and treatment. Patients with frailty often show poor tolerance. To achieve universal availability, electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles...

Abstract Background Eight‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG), a biomarker of oxidative damage evaluated in human neurodegenerative disease, has potential to correlate with postmortem diagnosis of neuroaxonal dy...

Abstract Background The diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy (IE) in dogs is based on exclusion of other potential causes of seizures. Recently, a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence that utilizes a variant of th...

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in chronic kidney disease patients. When compared to warfarin, new oral anticoagulants are found to be non-inferior or superior in safety and eff...

OBJECTIVE: Peritoneal dialysis is a renal replacement therapy in patients with end stage renal disease. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a class of positional and geometric conjugated isomers of the omega-6 ess...

OBJECTIVE: This experimental study was designed to evaluate radiation-induced kidney damage and the protective effect of apricot against it using histological parameters. MATERIAL and METHODS: Rats were divided into 6 ...

Gastrointestinal (GI) tractus involvement of HenochSchönlein syndrome (HSS) is well known. The aim of this study was to assess the radiographic and endoscopic findings ofGI tract in children with HSS. This study include...

Abnormal glycosaminoglycan metabolism is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Glomerular membrane anionic charge depletion leading to albuminuria is associated with loss of glycosaminoglycan in urine. It...

PURPOSE: This study was performed to determine risk factors influencing the development of osteonecrosis after renal transplantation. METHODS:We retrospectively evaluated osteonecrosis in 308 kidney graft recipients (...

OBJECTIVE: Most deaths in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are attributable to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The relationship between serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and CVD has been investig...

İn our hemodialysis center, serum Lipoprotein (a) {Lp(a)j, Apoprotein Ai (ApoAi) and Apoprotein B (Apo B) levels were examined in 50 patients and 50 healthy controls. Of the parameters investigated by means of the nefel...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been shown to prevent the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The antioxidant activity of HDL is believed to reside in its enzymes, particularly paraoxonase. Recently, paraoxona...

The aim of this study was to determine the levels of sialic acid in the sera of patients with chronic renal failure and the effect of hemodialysis was also investigated. Regarding this aim, total sialic acid levels (TSA)...

Disorders and deficiency of carnitine that occured in dialysed patients plays an important role in ureamic myopathy (UM). To investigate ofUM in early stage and effects of the L-carnitine on UM was aimed. 35 stable dialy...

28 outpatients with end-stage renal disease who were on hemodialysis treatment were included in the study. Kt/V values of all cases were calculated by ureakinetic modelling. During 12 weeks we tried to keep Kt/V almost e...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (Captopril) on renal hemodynamics in patients with acute renal failure (ARF). The resistive index (RI) value was calculated...

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors prevent the development of diabetic nephropathy by both blocking the renin-angiotensin system and increasing bradykinin levels through inhibition of the kininase II enzyme. Angiot...

Cisplatin is one of the mostly preferred effective chemotherapeutic agent currently. Toxic acute renal failure (ARF) is the most prevalent adverse effect of the drug. The number of the studies to prevent its nephrotoxici...

Our purpose was to determine serum zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing (HD) and to investigate the effects of dialysis duration of time on these trace elements. This...

In this study, plasma renin activity (PRA) and aldosterone levels were determined in 96 type II diabetic patients (50 females, 46 males) with a duration longer than 10 years and in 20 similarly aged-matched healthy subje...

Experience on medical treatment of hyperlipidemia, which is a frequent metabolic derangement in transplant recipients, is limited. After it has been announced that lovastatin causes rh.abdomyolisis, the safety has also b...
