Conservative management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is based on a combination of drugs, including amino-salicylates (ASAs), steroids, antibiotics, immunosuppressives and biologic agents. Although various side effects ...
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 ...
Nocturnal hypertension is associated with an exacerbation of the endothelial damage in preeclampsia
