Acute Renal Failure: A Rare Presentation of Hypothyroidism

Liakopoulos, V.; Dovas, S.; Simopoulou, T.; Zarogiannis, S.; Giannopoulou, M.; Kourti, P.; Arampatzis, S.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Stefanidis, I. (2009)

Thyroid hormones affect the function of almost every body organ, and thyroid dysfunction produces a wide range of metabolic disturbances. Severe hypothyroidism is associated with significant effects on the kidney. The ...

Aeromonas hydrophila as a causative organism in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis: case report and review of the literature

Liakopoulos, V.; Arampatzis, S.; Kourti, P.; Tsolkas, T.; Zarogiannis, S.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Giannopoulou, M.; Stefanidis, I. (2011)

Most episodes of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis could be attributed to a single organism, but in almost 10% of peritonitis episodes multiple organisms are identified. Polymicrobial peritonitis is often related ...

Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm

Bouchlariotou, S.; Liakopoulos, V.; Giannopoulou, M.; Arampatzis, S.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Mertens, P. R.; Zintzaras, E.; Messinis, I. E.; Stefanidis, I. (2014)

Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ...

Effect of cimetidine on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum

Liakopoulos, V.; Zarogiannis, S.; Kourti, P.; Hatzoglou, C.; Karioti, A.; Arampatzis, S.; Giannopoulou, M.; Musso, C.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Stefanidis, I. (2009)

The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. Cimetidine is an H2 receptor antagonist and a potent inhibitor of Na+/H+ antiporter, which is found in the plasma membranes of various cell ...

Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: Association With History of Coronary Heart Disease and Lipid Profile

Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Pissas, G.; Arampatzis, S.; Sparopoulou, T.; Galaktidou, G.; Stefanidis, I. (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 ...

Simultaneous clinical resolution of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia treated with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab

Arampatzis, S.; Giannakoulas, N.; Liakopoulos, V.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Kourti, P.; Karasavvidou, F.; Matsouka, P.; Stefanidis, I. (2011)

Background: Although renal involvement in advanced haematological malignancies is common, glomerulonephritis associated with lymphoproliferative disorders is rare, and the related pathogenetic mechanisms are still poorly ...

Inhibition of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in mixed lymphocyte reaction affects glucose influx and enzymes involved in aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis in alloreactive T-cells

Eleftheriadis, T.; Pissas, G.; Yiannaki, E.; Markala, D.; Arampatzis, S.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Stefanidis, I. (2013)

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) suppresses adaptive immunity. T-cell proliferation and differentiation to effector cells require increased glucose consumption, aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis. The effect of IDO on ...

Spironolactone increases permeability of visceral sheep peritoneum

Karioti, A.; Hatzoglou, C.; Zarogiannis, S.; Deligiorgi, T.; Kourti, P.; Giannopoulou, M.; Arampatzis, S.; Liakopoulos, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Stefanidis, I. (2009)

Aldosterone is a key component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and spironolactone, an aldosterone receptor blocker, shows beneficial effects in patients with end-stage renal disease and heart failure. The aim ...
