Heat-Shock Protein 27 kinetics in end stage renal disease patients

Glutamine kinetics and protein turnover in end-stage renal disease.

Alanine and glutamine constitute the two most important nitrogen carriers released from the muscle. We studied the intracellular amino acid transport kinetics and protein turnover in nine end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients and eight controls by use of stable isotopes of phenylalanine, alanine, and glutamine. The amino acid transport kinetics and protein turnover were calculated with a thre...

Prevalence of infectious diseases in patients with end stage renal disease in Gorgan City in Iran

Background: The mortality rate of sepsis and pneumonia is higher in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients than in the general population. Bacterial infections are the most common cause of hospitalization in dialysis patients and the most common source of bacteremia is vascular access in these patients. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of infectious causes of hospitalizati...

Hepatitis B Infection in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients in Khuzestan Province, Iran

The relationship between Aldosterone level and various LV conditions in patients with End-stage renal disease

Background: Aldosterone has been assumed to be implicated in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Preventing the progression of LVH in the early period of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) can increase patient survival. In this study, therefore, we analyzed the relationship between aldosterone level and LVH in ESRD patients who underwent hemodialysis at Fatemeh Zahra Hospital and Imam Khomeini Hosp...

Dentomaxillofacial Radiographic Changes in a Group of Iranian Patients with End Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the dentomaxillofacial radiographic changes in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who were on hemodialysis. Methods: Parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) measurements, as well as Panoramic and periapical radiographs were obtained from seventy four patients with a history of end stage renal disease (ESRD).
