Association of Hyperhomocysteinemia with Coronary Artery Disease in Southern Iran

Association of Hyperhomocysteinemia with Coronary Artery Disease in Southern Iran

Background: Differences in the prevalence and impact of hyperhomocytenemia on vascular disease between countries and races have been reported. Most studies have been undertaken in North American and European populations and the importance of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) level as a risk factor for coronary artery disease in the Middle East particularly in Iran, however, is not known.  Object...

Hiperhomocysteinemia u chorych na schorzenia układu krążenia Hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with cardiovascular disease

Całkowite stężenie homocysteiny w osoczu krwi zdrowego człowieka jest niskie i zawiera się w granicach 5,0-15,0 mmol/l, gdy badanie wykonuje się metodą HPLC lub 5,0-12,0 mmol/l, przy zastosowaniu metod immunoenzymatycznych. Wyższe stężenie tego aminokwasu we krwi określa się mianem hiperhomocysteinemii. Hiperhomocysteinemia wykazuje znamienną korelację z częstością występowania chorób sercowo-n...

Hyperhomocysteinemia, paraoxonase concentration and cardiovascular complications in Tunisian patients with nondiabetic renal disease.

We determine homocysteine levels (Hcy), paraoxonase (PON1) concentration and their relationship on cardiovascular complications in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD). DESIGN AND METHODS The study population included 100 CRD patients and 120 healthy controls. Renal function was assessed usin...
