A tendency to similar protective effects was observed in the subgroup of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients as well; however, intensive BP lowering was not only more frequently complicated by hypotension, syncope and electrolyte abnormalities but also more frequently induced acute kidney injury (...
Once treatment starts, both U.S. and European doctors now aim to lower blood pressure below 130/80 mm Hg—and ideally into the 120–129 mm Hg systolic and 70–79 mm Hg diastolic range if the patient tolerates it well. Tightening blood pressure control even in early stages helps minimize ...
Resistant hypertension (RHT) is characterized by persistently high blood pressure (BP) levels above the widely recommended therapeutic targets of less than 140/90 mmHg office BP, despite life-style measures and optimal medical therapies, including at least three antihypertensive drug classes at maximum...
In this cross-sectional study we recruited middle-aged participants with new-onset hypertension who were treatment-naïve. Subjects below (Group 1) and above the median UA levels (Group 2) were compared regarding clinical...
The prevalence of obesity is on the rise worldwide, along with rising trends in chronic kidney disease (CKD), high blood pressure, and diabetes (Chintam and Chang, 2021). Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major factors in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease, which in severe cases can...
Fig. 8. Simplified experimental set-up for in vivo experiments using high-pressure oxygenation in batch operation. The curves at the bottom shows the variations in blood flow and pressure. In each end of the oxygenator, bubble traps act as buffers between the regions of continuous and discontinu...

There are several ways to increase hemoglobin levels in the treatment of anemia. In general, low levels that need to be increased are caused by three circumstances: Decreased red blood cell production (for example, altered bone marrow hemoglobin production, iron deficiency) Increased red blood cell...
highlighting the differences between true and apparent resistant hypertension. Since the proportions of patients who can be defined as resistant to antihypertensive treatment is elevated, this distinction is mandatory in order to identify only those who need special clinical attention and, possibly, newer...
