Osteoprotegerin and mortality in hemodialysis patients with cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND Patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) have an increased mortality, mainly caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of the vascular calcification process. Previous studies have demonstrated that OPG is a prognostic marker of mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate if OPG was a prognostic marker of all-caus...
متن کاملGlycemic Control and Cardiovascular Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients With Diabetes
Previous observational studies using differing methodologies have yielded inconsistent results regarding the association between glycemic control and outcomes in diabetic patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We examined mortality predictability of A1C and random serum glucose over time in a contemporary cohort of 54,757 diabetic MHD patients (age 63 ± 13 years, 51% men, 30% Africa...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Parameters as Cardiovascular Mortality Predictors in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have high rates of cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Although structural and functional echocardiographic alterations in HD patients have been the subject of several survival analysis studies, the prognostic value of these alterations is not well established. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of echocardiographic parameters in chroni...
متن کاملProven strategies to reduce cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND In hemodialysis patients, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) correlates with mortality. The reason for LVH in uremics is multifactorial. The primary objective of our study was to investigate the effects of a multi-interventional treatment strategy on LVH. METHODS In 230 ambulatory patients, including patients with coronary artery disease, diabetes, diastolic and systolic dysfunctio...
متن کاملCardiovascular Disease in Hemodialysis Patients
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a most common complication and a chief cause of death in pa‐ tients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) accounting for 45% to 50% of causes of death in ESRD patients. In ESRD patients, mortality due to CVD is 10~30 times higher than in the general pop‐ ulation. 80% patients on maintenance homodialysis (MHD) had cardiovascular complication. In Chinese patients, th...
