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 ...
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 ...
Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenin are positively related to erythropoietin dose in hemodialysis patients
(2013)
Purpose: Experimental data confirmed that erythropoietin (EPO) administration alters the course of various pathological situations such as heart failure and tumor growth by inducing vascular endothelial growth factor-A ...
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 ...
Sternal instability in a hemodialysis patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism
(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. ...

(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. ...
