Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (Watermelon Stomach) in Patients With ESRD
(2006)
In 1989, Navab et al suggested that watermelon stomach often is observed in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. On the basis of this and some later reports, an etiopathogenetic association between the 2 disorders ...

(2014)
A 77-year-old man, 11 years under chronic hemodialysis treatment for chronic renal failure of unknown origin, presented with anterior chest pain, dyspnea with paradoxical breathing, and sternal instability after a simple ...
Pulmonary renal syndrome in an adult patient with Henoch-Shönlein purpura
(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 ...
Inverse Association of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D With Markers of Inflammation and Suppression of Osteoclastic Activity in Hemodialysis Patients
(2012)
Introduction. In hemodialysis patients, 25-hydroxyvitamin D conversion to active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by the kidneys is very limited. The expression of both vitamin D receptor and 1 alpha-hydroxylase in cells of the ...
Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Concentration is Increased in Hemodialysis Patients and May Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Coronary Heart Disease
(2012)
Introduction: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in this population. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), ...
Infections in hemodialysis: a concise review. Part II: blood transmitted viral 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. ...
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. ...
Plasma Serotonin and Markers of Bone Formation and Bone Resorption in Hemodialysis Patients
(2013)
Introduction. Serotonin receptors are present in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and serotonin affects bone metabolism. The association of plasma serotonin with markers of bone formation and bone resorption in hemodialysis ...
Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Arginase Type I May Contribute to Decreased Blood T-Cell Count in Hemodialysis Patients
(2012)
Background: Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and decreased T-cell number may contribute. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and arginase type I (ARG) catabolize tryptophane and arginine, respectively, ...
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 ...
