Arginase type I as a marker of coronary heart disease in hemodialysis patients
(2011)Cardiovascular disease, and mainly coronary heart disease (CHD), is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Non-traditional risk factors may play an important role in this population. Arginase is known ... -
Current trends in the management of uremic restless legs syndrome: A systematic review on aspects related to quality of life, cardiovascular mortality and survival
(2015)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects almost one out of three end-stage renal disease patients. This review assesses the current treatment options for uremic RLS and the potential benefits of those treatments on quality of ... -
The Effect of Prolonged Intradialytic Exercise in Hemodialysis Efficiency Indices
(2011)Optimal hemodialysis (HD) dose is very important to patients' health and survival, and various indices of adequacy have been incorporated into the current clinical practice to monitor HD efficiency. Exercise during HD could ... -
Endothelin-1 Acutely Reduces the Permeability of Visceral Sheep Peritoneum In Vitro Through Both Endothelin-A and Endothelin-B Receptors
(2013)Mesothelium is an important part of the peritoneal barrier for water and ion transport, essential for effective peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal fibrosis has been associated with PD treatment failure. Endothelin-1 ... -
Evidence of Increased Muscle Atrophy and Impaired Quality of Life Parameters in Patients with Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome
(2011)Background: Restless Legs Syndrome is a very common disorder in hemodialysis patients. Restless Legs Syndrome negatively affects quality of life; however it is not clear whether this is due to mental or physical parameters ... -
Exercise Training and Depression in ESRD: A Review
(2013)Depression, a mental disorder with a high personal, societal, and economic impact, affects at least 20-30% of patients receiving hemodialysis therapy. It is associated with a high mortality rate, low adherence to medication, ... -
Haemodialysis patients with sleep apnoea syndrome experience increased central adiposity and altered muscular composition and functionality
(2008)Background. Sleep apnoea frequently affects patients with end-stage renal disease. However, it is still unclear whether or to what extent sleep disorders may affect functional capacity and quality of life in haemodialysis ... -
Infections in hemodialysis: a concise review - Part 1: bacteremia and respiratory infections
(2011)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are particularly predisposed to infections. It seems that the HD procedure per se as well as disturbances in both innate and adaptive immunity significantly contribute to this susceptibility. ... -
Intradialytic aerobic exercise training ameliorates symptoms of restless legs syndrome and improves functional capacity in patients on hemodialysis
(2008)We present the first study on the influence of exercise training on restless legs syndrome (RILS) in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Restless legs syndrome has been treated pharmacologically with satisfactory results; ... -
Non-Pharmacological Management of Periodic Limb Movements During Hemodialysis Session in Patients With Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome
(2010)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is very common in hemodialysis patients. RLS induces motor excitability and discomfort during rest periods, and those symptoms have also been observed during hemodialysis sessions. The aim of ... -
Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: Association With History of Coronary Heart Disease and Lipid Profile
(2012)Perilipin-1 surrounds lipid droplets in both adipocytes and in atheroma plaque foam cells and controls access of lipases to the lipid core. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, dyslipidemia, malnutrition, inflammation and ... -
Periodic Limb Movements in Sleep Contribute to Further Cardiac Structure Abnormalities in Hemodialysis Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome
(2013)Study Objectives: In hemodialysis (HD) patients, restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) constitute common sleep disorders. Recent findings indicate a role for PLMS as a risk factor in the ... -
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 ... -
The Role of Hepcidin in Iron Homeostasis and Anemia in Hemodialysis Patients
(2009)Anemia is a common complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Despite the great success of recombinant human erythropoietin in clinical practice, resistance to this therapy is common. Additionally, nephrologists frequently ... -
Serum copper and ferroportin in monocytes of hemodialysis patients are both decreased but unassociated
(2014)Disturbed iron homeostasis contributes to resistance to recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Although increased hepcidin, which downregulates the iron exporter ferroportin, had been ... -
Uremic myopathy: is oxidative stress implicated in muscle dysfunction in uremia?
(2015)Renal failure is accompanied by progressive muscle weakness and premature fatigue, in part linked to hypokinesis and in part to uremic toxicity. These changes are associated with various detrimental biochemical and ... -
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 ... -
The value of serum antilipoarabinomannan antibody detection in the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis in hemodialysis patients
(2005)Background The risk for tuberculosis (TB) reactivation in hemodialysis (HD) patients is increased, and screening for latent TB is recommended. The tuberculin skin test (TST) is inaccurate because of the high incidence of ...
