Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a proinflammatory state and an excess of cardiovascular risk. In this work, we describe changes in inflammatory markers-C-reactive protein (CRP), pentraxin 3 (PTX3), serum component of amyloid A (SAA), and procalcitonin (PCT)--in CKD patients...
Old age, minority race and the presence of diabetes are independent predictors of inflammation in CKD patients. Cytokines and acute phase proteins are key mediators as well as markers of inflammation. The etiology of inflammation in CKD is multifactorial. Endotoxin translocation across the gut and ...
Conventional cardiovascular risk equations underestimate the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), implying a role for novel risk factors. Our aim was to compare vascular function and arterial compliance, known markers of CVD, between patients with CKD ...
(CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-± (TNF±) and endothelial dysfunction markers intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) with left ventricular mass indexed for height(2.71) (LVMI) in hypertensive predialysis CKD patients. ...
Clinical importance of biochemical markers of cardiac damage in hemodialysis patients Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in patients on regular hemodialysis. Cardiovascular mortality in this patients subset is approximately 9% per year, and among cardiovascular comp...
Inflammation and cachexia in chronic kidney disease Chronic inflammation is associated with cachexia and increased mortality risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ES... WW Cheung,KH Paik,RH Mak - 《Pediatric Nephrology》 被引量: 252发表: 2010年 Markers ...
Conclusions: Important positive associations exist between markers of inflammation and LVMI in patients with CKD. In addition to hs-CRP, elevated fibrinogen may portend the development of LVH in patients with CKD who are not yet on dialysis. 展开 关键词: chronic kidney disease echocardiography ...
Markers of inflammation and cardiovascular disease in recently diagnosed celiac disease patients AIM To evaluate novel risk factors and biomarkers of car-diovascular disease in celiac disease(CD) patients compared with healthy controls. METHODS Twenty ... WF Tetzlaff,T Meroo,M Menafra,... - 《世...
Finally, patients exhibiting high urinary and plasma endocan levels in acute ABMR group showed significantly worse renal survival. Altogether, plasma and urinary endocan levels may serve as potential markers of microvascular inflammation in kidney transplant recipients....
