Comparison of glucose tolerance in renal transplant recipients and hemodialysis patients
(2004)
Background: Impaired glucose tolerance is a risk factor for atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients and renal transplant recipients. Methods: To check the relationship of impaired glucose tolerance with the other ...
Growth Arrest-specific 6 Protein and Matrix Gla Protein in Hemodialysis Patients.
(2015)
Plasma protein growth arrest-specific 6 (GAS6) and matrix Gla protein (MGP) are crucial mediators of vascular calcification and are involved in the development of vascular complications in chronic kidney diseases. This ...
Plasma oxidized LDL and thiol-containing molecules in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration.
(2010)
It was proposed that total thiols (tSH) as powerful reducing agents and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) may be associated with development of choroidal neovascularization in exudative age-related macular degeneration ...
Protective effect of fish oil supplementation on DNA damage induced by cigarette smoking.
(2013)
The study examined the influence of fish oil (FO) supplementation on serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels as indicated by DNA damage markers and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) among male cigarette smokers. ...
Arterial atherosclerosis in patients with chronic kidney disease and its relationship with serum and tissue endothelin-1. [corrected].
(2009)
Instruction. We investigated the correlation between atherosclerosis and tissue and serum levels of endothelin-1 in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Arterial samples were obtained from 35 ...
Effect of L-carnitine on the serum lipoproteins and HDL-C subclasses in hemodialysis patients.
(2005)
Following carnitine administration a decrease in plasma levels of triglyceride (TG) and increase in total high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been reported. Our hypothesis was that it also improves the HDL2/HDL3 ...
Effect of nandrolone decanonate on paraoxonase activity in hemodialysis patients.
(2005)
This study was designed to determine the effect of nandrolone decanonate (ND) on HDL-C, apolipoproteins and paraoxonase (PON) activity in stable hemodialysis patients.64 hemodialysis patients were treated with ND at a dose ...
Vascular complication and Doppler ultrasonographic finding after renal transplantation.
(2007)
Vascular complications are common after renal transplantation. In this study we correlated Doppler sonographic indices and transplant kidney function.We reviewed data on 244 renal transplant patients. Doppler ultrasonographic ...
Doppler ultrasonographic indexes in kidney transplant recipients: its relationship with kidney function.
(2007)
Doppler ultrasonography (DU) is mostly used for assessment of both graft and native kidneys' vascular status. In this study, correlation between the DU indexes and kidney allograft function was evaluated.Hospital records ...
Apolipoprotein a polymorphism predicts lipoprotein a concentration in renal transplant recipients.
(2005)
Increased serum lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in renal transplant recipients. Higher levels may be due to genetic factors, for example, apolipoprotein A isoforms and/or environmental ...
