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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Findings of Doppler sonography do not correlate with serum lipoprotein and total homocysteine concentrations in renal transplant recipients
(2005)
Atherosclerosis may be evaluated by structural or functional changes of the main arteries. We sought to investigate the probable associations of static and dynamic arterial changes with lipoprotein (a) and homocysteine ...
Relationship between vitamin D receptor gene FokI and ApaI polymorphisms and serum levels of fetuin-A, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone in patients on hemodialysis
(2014)
Introduction. Low fetuin-A and 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D) levels accompanied with high intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) contents are associated with cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients. The aim of present ...
Serum Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-? B Ligand, Osteoprotegrin, and Intact Parathyroid Hormone in Hemodialysis and Renal Transplant Patients
(2012)
Serum receptor activator of nuclear factor-? B ligand and osteoprotegrin are mediated to vascular calcification in the general population. Our knowledge is very sparse in hemodialysis and renal transplant patients. Receptor ...
The effect of red grape seed extract on serum paraoxonase activity in patients with mild to moderate hyperlipidemia [O efeito do extrato de semente de uva vermelha na atividade do soro paraoxonase em doentes com hiperlipidemia leve a moderada]
(2016)
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Red grape seed extract (RGSE) contains oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes as a class of flavonoids. These compounds are potent antioxidants and exert many health-promoting effects. This study aimed ...
Treatment of cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth with azithromycin-containing toothpaste
(2006)
Objective: Gingival overgrowth is a complication of cyclosporine therapy following organ transplantation. Oral azithromycin is frequently used to treat this complication. This study examined the efficacy of local azithromycin, ...
