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, ...
Nocturnal hypertension is associated with an exacerbation of the endothelial damage in preeclampsia
(2008)
Background: Non-dipping pattern of circadian blood pressure in preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. We investigated ...
A Case Report of Osteomyelitis Pubis in a Hemodialysis Patient With Diabetes Mellitus
(2008)
Osteomyelitis pubis is a rare form of osteomyelitis. Known risk factors are urogynecologic surgery, trauma caused by sport activities, pelvic malignancy and intravenous drug use. Immunocompromised patients, including ...
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjogren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)
Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocylic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ...
The diabetic foot in end stage renal disease
(2007)
Diabetic foot lesions remain a major cause of morbidity in patients with renal failure, especially those on dialysis. Foot complications are encountered at a more than twofold frequency in diabetic patients with end-stage ...
Clonal relatedness of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in the haemodialysis unit of a single university centre in Greece
(2008)
Background. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are frequently encountered pathogens in hospital environment. Dialysis patients, often carrying central venous catheters, are prone to CoNS infections. Methicillin-resistant ...
Influence of hemodialysis on the mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery
(2005)
Background: Several effects of hemodialysis, including hemoconcentration, alterations of hemostasis or hemorheology and endothelial activation, could potentially interfere with cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation. These ...
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 ...
