Inflammatory Marker but Not Adipokine Predicts Mortality among Long-Term Hemodialysis Patients
AIMS chronic inflammation contributes significantly to the morbidity and mortality of chronic hemodialysis patients. A recent research has shown that adipokines were associated with inflammation in these patients. We aim to investigate whether biomarkers of inflammation, adipokines, and clinical features can predict the outcome of hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS we enrolled 181 h...
متن کاملInflammatory Activity on Natalizumab Predicts Short-Term but Not Long-Term Disability in Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND In people with multiple sclerosis treated with interferon-beta or glatiramer acetate, new MRI lesions and relapses during the first year of treatment predict a poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE To study this association in those receiving natalizumab. METHODS Data were collected on relapses, new MRI activity, and Modified Rio Score after initiation of natalizumab in an observational coho...
متن کاملSerum alkaline phosphatase predicts mortality among maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Several observational studies have demonstrated that serum levels of minerals and parathyroid hormone (PTH) have U- or J-shaped associations with mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients, but the relationship between serum alkaline phosphatase (AlkPhos) and risk for all-cause or cardiovascular death is unknown. In this study, a 3-yr cohort of 73,960 hemodialysis patients in DaVita outpati...
متن کاملGlycated Albumin Predicts Long-term Survival in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
BACKGROUND In patients with advanced renal dysfunction undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, glycated albumin (GA) levels may be more representative of blood glucose levels than hemoglobin A1C levels. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive power of GA levels on long-term survival in hemodialysis patients. METHODS A total of 176 patients with a mean age of 68.2 years were enrolle...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T predicts long-term outcomes in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Increased plasma troponin T (cTnT), but not troponin I (cTnI), is frequently observed in end-stage renal failure patients. Although generally considered spurious, we previously reported an associated increased mortality at 12 months. METHODS We studied long-term outcomes in 244 patients on chronic hemodialysis for up to 34 months, correlating the outcomes to plasma cTnT in routine ...
