Transforming growth factor beta-1 An important biomarker for developing cardiovascular diseases in chronic renal failure
(Comenius University, 2017)
OBJECTIVE: Our study focuses on the determination and evaluation of TGF-ß1 levels of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment because of chronic renal failure. BACKGROUND: Chronic renal failure, characterized by irreversible ...
Effect of arteriovenous fistula and usage of arm with fistula on bone mineral density in hemodialysis patients
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2016)
We aimed to determine the incidence of osteoporosis in hemodialysis patients, to evaluate the differences due to arteriovenous fistula on bone mineral density (BMD) and to investigate whether usage of arm with fistula has ...
Determination of oxidative stress and cellular inflammation in patients with diabetic nephropathy and non-diabetic nephropathy being administered hemodialysis treatment due to chronic renal failure
(Informa Healthcare, 2014)
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate oxidative stress [8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), malondialdehyde (MDA)] endothelial damage [asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)] and markers of cellular inflammation [interleukin 6 (IL-6), ...
Echocardiographic evaluation of epicardial adipose tissue in non-diabetic, non-hypertensive hemodialysis patients
(2013)
Purpose: It has been found out that the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) measured by echocardiography is related with various metabolic parameters. Being accepted as the new cardiovascular risk indicator, there have been ...
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome in chronic kidney disease patients
(Informa Healthcare, 2015)
This study was performed to determine whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. This is an age-matched case control study evaluating frequency of PEX in ...
Echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular functions in nondiabetic normotensive hemodialysis patients
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2015)
Purpose: Heart is affected structurally and functionally in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the data available about adverse effects of ESRD on right ventricle (RV) is scarce. We aimed to evaluate echocardiographic ...
Relation between high serum hepcidin-25 level and subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2018)
Objective: In hemodialysis (HD) patients, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality and morbidity. In atherosclerotic diseases, iron gets accumulated in the arterial wall. Hepcidin is an important hormone ...
The efficacy of cinacalcet in the treatment of hyperparathyroidism in Turkish hemodialysis patient population
(Turkish Society of Nephrology, 2016)
OBJECTIVE: Cinacalcet reduces parathyroid hormone levels by increasing the sensitivity of the parathyroid gland to calcium. In this study, we firstly aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cinacalcet in Turkish hemodialysis ...
Serum ADMA, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis in hypervolemic hemodialysis patients
(TÜBİTAK, 2018)
Background/aim: Asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients under hemodialysis treatment. We aimed to investigate the relationship among volume status, ...
Long-term patency of autogenous saphenous veins vs. PTFE interposition graft for prosthetic hemodialysis access
(Kare Publishing, 2014)
Objective: Prosthetic vascular access is the other choice when the superficial venous system is inadequate to perform a simple radio-cephalic and brachio-cephalic fistula.Methods: This paper reports the outcomes of a ...
