Heart disease Diabetes Possibly elevated blood cholesterol Individuals who have completed less than eight years of education also have an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. These factors increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, but by no means do they mean that Alzheimer's disease is inevitab...

The advanced HF patients waiting for a heart transplant had further lower age, burden of comorbidities and higher Nt-proBNP. Additional clinical characteristics of the manifest HF patients and heart transplant recipients are presented in Supplementary Table 2. Fig. 1: Sampling of study cohorts from ...

Cirrhosis can damage your liver to the point where it no longer works. This is called liver failure. In a transplant, your damaged liver is replaced with a healthy one from a donor. You can wait on an organ transplant list for a deceased donor or get part of a liver from a living fr...

This phenomenon may help explain the “obesity paradox,” which suggests that, even though people who are obese are at greater risk of developing heart issues, once heart disease develops, individuals with higher BMIs appear to have a lower mortality risk than people with normal BMIs. However,...
treatment does not begin early, the condition progresses to end-stage renal disease. At that point, a patient's kidneys have failed to the point where dialysis - a filtering of toxic chemicals in the blood and removing fluid to help control blood pressure - or a kidney transplant is needed...
Intervals between acute periods of worsening of dyspnea (exacerbations) become shorter. Cyanosis (discoloration of the skin) and failure of the right side of the heart may occur. Anorexiaandweight lossoften develop and suggest a worse prognosis. ...
The survival rate of kidney transplant recipients is markedly inferior to that of the general population. A lack of muscle mass and strength could potentially decrease survival rates; unfortunately, practical muscle assessment methods suitable for standard care have not been investigated for their ...
