The Mean Platelet Volume and Atherogenic Index of Plasma in Nondipper Normotensive Individuals Compared to Dippers
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2013)
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a determinant of platelet activation. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), which is defined as the logarithm of the ratio of plasma level of triglycerides to the level of high-density lipoprotein ...
Carotid artery Doppler ultrasonography in patients with chronic kidney disease
(INT SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE, INC, 2014)
Background: We investigated the changes in the values of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and Doppler index measurements in the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and ...
The Presence of PAI-1 4G/5G and ACE DD Genotypes Increases the Risk of Early-Stage AVF Thrombosis in Hemodialysis Patients
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
Background: In this study, we investigated the relationship between early arteriovenous fistula (AVF) thrombosis with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and thrombophilic factor gene polymorphisms. Methods: Thirty-five ...
The association between therapeutic outcomes and VEGF G-1154A and C-936T gene polymorphisms in patients with glomerulonephritis
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2014)
Background: In this present study, we aimed to investigate the association between therapeutic outcomes and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) G-1154A and C-936T gene polymorphisms in patients with glomerulonephritis. ...
Low L-carnitine levels: Can it be a cause of nocturnal blood pressure changes in patients with toe 2 diabetes mellitus?
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2011)
Objective: The nocturnal blood pressure (NBP) reduction is less than normal in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). L-carnitine deficiency may cause changes of NBP by leading to hyperglycemia, insulin ...
Mesangioproliferative Glomerulonephritis Due to Hepatic Hydatid Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review
(TURK NEFROLOJI DIYALIZ TRANSPLANTASYON DERGISI, 2015)
Hydatid cyst (CH), which is quite common in the world, mostly transmitted by dog faeces, is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. CH often infects the liver and lungs. During the clinical course, renal ...
Role of the VEGF 936 gene polymorphism and VEGF-A levels in the late-term arteriovenous fistula thrombosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis
(SPRINGER, 2014)
Vascular access is vital for hemodialysis patients. A major factor that facilitates arteriovenous (AV) fistula failure is stenosis and thrombosis due to intimal hyperplasia developing in the venous segment of AV fistula. ...
What Is the Meaning of Increased Myocardial Injury Enzymes during Hemodialysis? A Tissue Doppler Imaging Study
(KARGER, 2013)
Background: Cardiovascular death is decreasing in the general population; however, it appears in still higher rates and even increases gradually in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This situation has led to a debate about ...
