Ferroportin in monocytes of hemodialysis patients and its associations with hepcidin, inflammation, markers of iron status and resistance to erythropoietin
(2014)Disturbed iron homeostasis contributes to resistance to recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Increased hepcidin, which downregulates the iron exporter ferroportin, has been incriminated. ... -
Psoas abscess in a dialysis patient with dialysis-related amyloidosis
(2008)Psoas abscess is an infrequent clinical entity which poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Few cases have been reported in chronic hemodialysis patients. We describe a case of psoas abscess in a dialysis patient ... -
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, ... -
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 ...
