Evaluation of liver and kidney function in favism patients
Backgrounds: G6PD deficiency is the most common enzymopathy of red blood cells. The clinical symptoms of favism are jaundice, hematuria and haemolytic anaemia that seem to affect liver and kidney in long term. Thus we evaluate kidney and liver function of favism patients in an endemic area of the disease with a high rate of fava beans cultivation. Methods: This study was performed on favism pa...
متن کاملIs High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Causally Related to Kidney Function?
OBJECTIVE A recent observational study with almost 2 million men reported an association between low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and worse kidney function. The causality of this association would be strongly supported if genetic variants associated with HDL cholesterol were also associated with kidney function. APPROACH AND RESULTS We used 68 genetic variants (single-nucleotide...
متن کاملHomoarginine, kidney function and cardiovascular mortality risk.
BACKGROUND Homoarginine is a novel biomarker for cardiovascular diseases. In the present large cohort study, we evaluate how homoarginine is linked to kidney function and examine the potential interaction of homoarginine and kidney function as predictors of cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS Serum homoarginine (mean: 2.41 ± 1.05 µmol/L), cystatin C and creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFR, mean...
متن کاملLong term effects of kidney donation on blood pressure and kidney function of donors
Introduction: Kidney transplantation from a live donor has many advantages, but the donor should undergo a major surgery and accept potential morbidity and mortality. In this study, we evaluated the long term effects of nephrectomy on renal function and blood pressure of kidney donors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 195 kidney donors. The controls were 100 healthy individu...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Decline in Kidney Function.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The independent link between arterial stiffness and CKD remains unknown. We investigated the association of indicators of arterial stiffness with decline in kidney function. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We studied 3666 participants (mean age =65 years old; 58% women) from the Rotterdam Study. Pulse pressure (PP), carotid stiffness, and pulse wave vel...
