Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by retention of uremic solutes. Compared to patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD, those requiring haemodialysis (HD) have increased morbidity and mortality. We wished to characterise metabolic patterns in CKD compared to HD patients using metabolomics. ...
High blood pressure (HBP) is often associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It can be a cause or a complication of the latter.#The aim of this work was studying the clinical characteristics and the therapeutic modalities prescribed in our hypertensive patients monitored in nephrology ...

Your healthcare provider may order a blood test as part of a routine screening for certain cancers, or to check for chronic health conditions like diabetes. Fragments of your blood can reveal immune system activity that points to recent infection or another disease your body is fighting off. B...
The most commonly used insoluble fiber supplement is wheat fiber. However, it hasn’t been studied enough under well-controlled conditions for researchers to have a full understanding of its effects, and the existing body of research does not clearly support its use forblood sugarmanagement.[8][...
von Willebrand disease: von Willebrand factor is a protein in blood that helps blood to clot. In von Willebrand disease, the body either produces too little of the protein, or produces a protein that doesn't work well. The condition is inherited, but most people with von Willebrand disease ...
While in Korea most of the work has been performed by researchers from the background of ‘traditional Korean medicine’ (TKM), which is a parallel system of medical practice outside the biomedical healthcare system. Thus, some of the conclusions about identifying BSS are likely to have been ...
Several factors associated with high 24-h BP variability are also common among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesized 24-h BP variability would be higher for individuals with versus without CKD. Methods: We analyzed 1,022 Jackson Heart Study participants who underwent ...
Besides, the pro-oxidant and antioxidant activities of patients in distinct stages of chronic kidney disease are divergent, while hemodialysis patients have the most impaired renal function. Consequently, they have the highest amount of oxidative stress, which contributes to the elevation of serum ...
