Increased Plasma Angiogenin Level is Associated and May Contribute to Decreased T-Cell Zeta-Chain Expression in Hemodialysis Patients
(2013)
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are characterized by impaired T-cell function at least in part because of T-cell zeta-chain downregulation due to inflammation. Angiogenin responds as an acute phase reactant, is increased in HD ...
Plasma Angiogenin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A Among Hemodialysis Patients
(2012)
Introduction. Angiogenesis plays a role in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) pathology, and certain angiogenic factors are increased by inflammation. The aim of this study was to ...
The Renal Endothelium in Diabetic Nephropathy
(2013)
Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by generalized endothelial dysfunction. However, recent data also emphasizes the role of local renal endothelium ...
Late onset of clinically apparent central vein stenosis due to previous central venous catheter in a patient with inherited thrombophilia
(2014)
We describe a case of a patient with a functional kidney transplant who was admitted to our department with clinically evident central vein stenosis (CVS) 7 years after the removal of a central venous catheter (CVC) from ...
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 ...
Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: Association With History of Coronary Heart Disease and Lipid Profile
(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 ...
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 ...
Increased visfatin in hemodialysis patients is associated with decreased demands for recombinant human erythropoietin
(2013)
Background: Studies detected an association between visfatin and markers of iron metabolism in patients with insulin resistance. In this study, such a relation was evaluated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Also relations ...
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. ...
