Increased bone turnover markers after renal transplantation.
Bone remodeling is a process that occurs continuously in a seemingly inactive tissue like bone. Because of decreased vitamin D synthesis, phosphorus retention and decreased calcium blood concentration, patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) develop secondary hyperparathyroidism. Elevated PTH levels shifts balance between osteoblast and osteoclast activity in favor of osteoclast activity and,...
متن کاملIncreased activity of endogenous endothelin in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the activity of endogenous endothelin-1 (ET-1) in hypercholesterolemic patients using antagonists of ET-1 receptors. BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction in hypercholesterolemic patients may contribute to their risk of premature atherosclerosis. Endothelin, a peptide released by endothelial cells, may be involved in this process by activating smooth muscle cell mit...

متن کاملIncreased fibrinogen binding to platelets from patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a disease marked by a high incidence of thrombotic episodes and hypersensitivity of the patients' platelets to naturally occurring aggregating agents. Prostaglandin/thromboxane (PG/Tx) formation, adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) secretion, and fibrinogen binding to platelets are all believed to be involved in the mechanisms of platelet aggregation. Therefore,...
متن کاملBone turnover markers in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease
Bone complications occur frequently in Gaucher disease (GD) and reduce the quality of life of these patients. Skeletal involvement is an important indication for treatment to ameliorate symptoms and reduce the risk of irreversible and debilitating disease. Bone biomarkers have been used to assess disease status and the response to therapy in a number of bone disorders. Here, we examine the lite...
