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: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI), its facilitating factors, and the effect of hemodialysis treatment on cognitive function (CF) in patients with stage V Chronic Kidney Diseas...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of spironolactone on diastolic heart functions in patients with chronic kidney disease by tissue Doppler echocardiography. MATERIAL and METHODS: Twenty-four pat...

There have been several studies demonstrating a relationship between vitamin D and cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency (D/I) is a common problem in chronic renal disease and also renal transplant r...

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...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of mild renal dysfunction and its association with insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS) or its components among Turkish adults. METHODS: Serum creatinine concent...

One of the postoperative vascular complications in renal transplantation is stenosis of the transplant renal artery. Stenosis of the iliac segment proximal to the transplant renal artery (Prox-TRAS) is an uncommon cause ...

Today, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a world-wide public health problem. Losing kidney function and occurance of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are inevitablely the main clinical outcomes. Increasing evidence suggested t...

Patients with chronic kidney disease may show altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic responses to many drugs in comparison to patients with normal renal function. Therefore, effective and safe drug usage is difficu...

We described the clinical course of 4 patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in whom kidney function improvement was delayed because of concomitant hypothyroidism. After initiating thyroid hormone replacement therapy, t...

In our country, kidney donors are usually elder relatives of patients. It's possible that these kidneys may have histopathological findings related to aging and causes the complexicity at kidney functions after transplan...

In addition to its role on calcium homeostasis, vitamin D exhibits local (paracrine) effects on cell proliferation differentiation and immune function. Most cells in the body express Vitamin D receptors and 1α-hydroxyla...

Crystal nephropathy is defined as acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by the intratubular precipitation of crystals, which results in obstruction. We report here two cases of AKI associated with crystal nephropathy. The fir...

Rhabdomyolysis develops due to skeletal muscle cell damage. One of the most important complications of rhabdomyolysis is acute kidney injury. Herein, we present a case found to have normal renal function at first hospita...

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been developed for the treatment of hypogammaglobulinemia and is also used for many systemic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Acute kidney injury is a rare complication of the ...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with malignancies may develop autoimmune and rheumatic manifestations as a result of generation of autoantibodies, paraneoplastic syndromes, direct invasion of joints and muscles by the tumour cells, ...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in patients with endstage renal disease. Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) is increased in conditions associated with increased risk of atheroscler...

OBJECTIVE: Kidney damage after cardiac surgery can cause acute renal failure, increase the morbidity and mortality, and prolong the hospital stay. Various methods have therefore been used to prevent renal failure. One of...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) experience an improvement in physical activity, quality of life and functional status as a result of exercise training...

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: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice in end-stage renal diseases. Long-term allograft function has remained steady in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKTx) during recent decades. In this st...

Alterations of gut microbiota composition and function in CKD may be due to ureamic state, metabolic acidosis, slow colonic transit, dietary restrictions and pharmacological therapies. These alterations induce microbial ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication affecting many hospitalized patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. AKI seldom occurs as isolated organ failure; much more often it emerges ...
