Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)
Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ...
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 ...
Propyl gallate-induced platelet aggregation in patients with end-stage renal disease: The influence of the haemodialysis procedure
(2006)
Background: Platelet dysfunction is a well-established disturbance in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Propyl gallate is a synthetic platelet activator with the property to stimulate platelet aggregation. The aim of the present ...
Disturbances of acquired immunity in hemodialysis patients
(2007)
Acquired immunity disturbances in hemodialysis (HD) patients are many and diverse. They are caused by uremia per se, the HD procedure, chronic renal failure complications, and therapeutic interventions for their treatment. ...

(2006)
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a small vessel vasculitis characterized by purpuric skin rash, haematuria, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding and arthritis. Nephritis is more frequent and severe in adults than in ...
T-Cell zeta chain expression, phosphorylation and degradation and their role in T-cell signal transduction and immune response regulation in health and disease
(2006)
T-cell zeta chain expression, phosphorylation and degradation and their role in T-cell signal transduction and immune response regulation in health and disease. Zeta chain is a stable constituent of the antigen specific ...
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 ...
Effect of 1-year oral alpha-tocopherol administration on anticardiolipin antibodies in hemodialysis patients
(2005)
Background. Anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) have been related to an increased incidence of thrombotic episodes and atherosclerosis progression. ACA levels are elevated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Atheroembolic episodes ...
