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 ...
Association between ABCB1 (MDR1) Gene 3435 C > T Polymorphism and Colchicine Unresponsiveness of FMF Patients
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
The multidrug resistance gene-1 (MDR1, adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter: ABCB1, P-glycoprotein) encodes membrane proteins that play a crucial role in protecting cells from xenobiotics, chemicals, and ...
The protective effect of MCP-1-2518 A > G promoter polymorphism in Turkish chronic renal failure patients requiring long-term hemodialysis
(SPRINGER, 2015)
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of different types of human renal disease. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of MCP-1 gene -2518 ...
Evaluation of association between atherogenic index of plasma and intima-media thickness of the carotid artery for subclinic atherosclerosis in patients on maintenance hemodialysis
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
Incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the patients having chronic kidney disease (CKD) is between 25% and 60%. This increased rate is proposed to be associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Increased carotid intima-media ...
Association of vitamin D receptor gene Taql, Fokl and Apal variants with arteriovenous fistula failure in hemodialysis patients
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2018)
Purpose: We investigated the influence of the vitamin D receptor gene Taql (rs731236), Apal (rs7975232), and Fokl (rs2228570) polymorphisms in arteriovenous fistula failure in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study was ...
A Case of Acute Renal Failure Caused by Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Concurrent Membranous Glomerulonephritis and Interstitial HL-CD 20 Lymphoid Infiltration
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2011)
Although acute renal failure developing due to malignancies is a frequent condition, malignant renal infiltration is rarely observed among these causes. Among all malignant diseases, the hematolymphoid malignancies are the ...
Inspiratory Muscle Strength is Correlated with Carnitine Levels in Type 2 Diabetes
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
Introduction. Plasma carnitine insufficiency has been known to cause muscle weakness. Carnitine levels and pulmonary functions were lower in patients with diabetes. Patients and Methods. To determine whether pulmonary ...
