Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Arginase Type I May Contribute to Decreased Blood T-Cell Count in Hemodialysis Patients
(2012)Background: Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and decreased T-cell number may contribute. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and arginase type I (ARG) catabolize tryptophane and arginine, respectively, ... -
Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenin are positively related to erythropoietin dose in hemodialysis patients
(2013)Purpose: Experimental data confirmed that erythropoietin (EPO) administration alters the course of various pathological situations such as heart failure and tumor growth by inducing vascular endothelial growth factor-A ... -
Resistin serum levels are increased but not correlated with insulin resistance in chronic hemodialysis patients
(2005)Background/Aims: Insulin resistance is a well-known phenomenon in uremia. Resistin, a recently discovered insulin inhibitor secreted by adipocytes, is associated with obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Adiponectin, ... -
Restless legs syndrome does not affect 3-year mortality in hemodialysis patients
(2015)Objective: Uremic restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been related to an enhanced mortality of hemodialysis (HD) patients. In the general population studies of this association have yielded inconsistent results. The aim of ... -
Restless legs syndrome in hemodialysis patients: an epidemiologic survey in Greece
(2013)Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by an uncontrolled need to move extremities accompanied by unpleasant sensations, which frequently leads to sleep disturbances. In hemodialysis ... -
A single-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of 6 months of progressive aerobic exercise training in patients with uraemic restless legs syndrome
(2013)Background. Uraemic restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects a significant proportion of patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) therapy. Exercise training has been shown to improve RLS symptoms in uraemic RLS patients; however, ... -
Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis Is Related With Telomerase Activity and Treatment Duration
(2015)Telomere shortening to a critical limit is associated with replicative senescence. This process is prevented by the enzyme telomerase. Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are factors accelerating telomere loss. Chronic ... -
Uremic Versus Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome: Impact on Aspects Related to Quality of Life
(2012)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects both the general population and patients with chronic renal failure. Even though it has been suggested that all forms of RLS share a common pathophysi-ology, not much evidence exists ...
