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 ...
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 ...
A Case of Acute Renal Failure Caused by Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Concurrent Membranous Glomerulonephritis and Interstitial HL-CD 20 Lymphoid Infiltration
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2011)
