Coronary angiography is the best predictor of events in renal transplant candidates compared with noninvasive testing.
Guidelines for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and assess of risk in renal transplant candidates are based on the results of noninvasive testing, according to data originated in the nonuremic population. We evaluated prospectively the accuracy of 2 noninvasive tests and risk stratification in detecting CAD (>or=70% obstruction) and assessing cardiac risk by using coronary angiogr...

متن کاملSoluble Adiponectin is a New Predictor for Cardiovascular Complications in Patients with End Stage Renal Disease
Mortality due to cardiovascular complications (CVC) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) is 20 fold higher than in general population. Adiponectin (ADPN) hormone from adipose tissues accumulation in serum is attributed to reduced renal clearance. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of ADPN as a predictor of CVC in adult patients with ESRD on hemodialysis (HD), ...
متن کاملRENAL TRANSPLANTATION A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR UREMIC PATIENTS, REVIEW OF RESULTS IN 69 KIDNEY TRANSPLANTIONS
Between June, 1984 and January 20, 1987, 69 kidney transplantations were performed in our department. All kidneys were acquired from living donors. 63% of the cases were high-risk MLC-positive (poorly matched), and all but one were from related sources. There were only five rejected kidneys, all of which occurred in kidneys from parent donors. 28 recipients received donor-specific transfus...
متن کاملAnxiety is a better predictor of platelet reactivity in coronary artery disease patients than depression.
AIMS Depression and anxiety are linked to coronary events but the mechanism(s) remains unclear. We investigated the associations of depression and anxiety with serotonin-mediated platelet hyperactivity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients in a cross-sectional study. METHODS AND RESULTS Three months after an acute coronary event, stable CAD patients (n = 83) on aspirin and clopidogrel wer...
