C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in hemodialysis patients
Background: Hemodialysis patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher than expected cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population has been attributed to dislipidemia as well as inflammation. The causes of inflammation in hemodialysis patients are multifactorial. Several markers were used for the detection of inflammatory reaction in patients with chronic renal dise...
متن کاملHEARING LOSS IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
Inner ear cells are sensitive to some metabolic and hormonal disorders, but the relation between chronic renal failure (CRF), regular dialysis treatment (RDT) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is still a debatable field. The object of this paper was to verify the presence of SNHL in patients submitted to hemodialysis with different duration due to CRF and in those submitted to conservat...
متن کاملProtein intake during hemodialysis maintains a positive whole body protein balance in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Protein energy malnutrition is present in 18 to 56% of hemodialysis patients. Because hemodialysis has been regarded as a catabolic event, we studied whether consumption of a protein- and energy-enriched meal improves the whole body protein balance during dialysis in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients. Patients were studied on a single day between dialysis (HD- protocol) in the morning while f...
متن کاملVitronectin (S protein) augments the functional activity of monocyte receptors for IgG and complement C3b.
An arginine-glycine-aspartic acid sequence (RGD in the single letter code for amino acids) is present in the cell attachment site of both vitronectin and fibronectin. Inasmuch as fibronectin and synthetic peptides containing RGD enhance ingestion of opsonized particles by monocytes, we investigated the effects of vitronectin on phagocytosis by monocytes of sheep erythrocytes bearing IgG (EA) or...
متن کاملSpecific binding of the human S protein (vitronectin) to streptococci, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.
Specific binding of the 125I-labeled human S protein (vitronectin) which has been shown to be identical with serum-spreading factor, was observed with group A, C, and G streptococci as well as with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The specific binding of S protein to group A, C, and G streptococci was high, whereas the binding to S. aureus and E. coli cultures was moderate. In contra...
