Lower serum potassium combined with lower sodium concentrations predict long-term mortality risk in hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of different pre-hemodialysis (HD) serum sodium (S[Na]) and potassium (S[K]) concentrations on the long-term prognosis of HD patients. METHODS A cohort of 424 maintenance HD patients (age: 58 ± 13 years, male: 47%, diabetes: 39%) from a single center were divided into four groups based on both medians of S[Na] (138.4 mmo...
متن کاملAssociation of cumulatively low or high serum calcium levels with mortality in long-term hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The outcome-predictability of baseline and instantaneously changing serum calcium in hemodialysis patients has been examined. We investigated the mortality-predictability of time-averaged calcium values to reflect the 'cumulative' effect of calcium burden over time. METHODS We employed a Cox model using up-to-5-year (7/2001-6/2006) time-averaged values to examine the mortality-pred...

متن کاملRelation between bone mineral density and serum ferritin levels in patients with thalassemia major
Background: Thalassemia/haemoglobinopathy is a hereditary disease with increased erythropoiesis and expansion of the bone marrow cavity. Consequently, there is a reduction in trabecular bone tissue resulting in osteopenia/osteoporosis. The present study was performed to determine bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents with major thalassemia and its correlation with serum fer...
متن کاملSerum ferritin levels are increased in patients with glomerular diseases and proteinuria.
BACKGROUND Ferritin is a high molecular weight protein which reflects body iron stores, but may also rise in the case of an acute phase response. Recently, ferritin has been identified as a predictive factor in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. This is the first report on serum ferritin levels in patients with proteinuria. METHODS We have analysed the data of 142 male patien...
