Small apolipoprotein(a) size predicts mortality in end-stage renal disease: The CHOICE study.
BACKGROUND The high mortality rate in end-stage renal disease has engendered interest in nontraditional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors that are more prevalent in end-stage renal disease, such as elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels. Previous studies suggest that high Lp(a) levels and small apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] isoform size are associated with ASCVD, but none...
متن کاملWasting, but not malnutrition, predicts cardiovascular mortality in end-stage renal disease.
Beddhu et al. [1] recently have reported that there were no positive associations of malnutrition with documented acute coronary syndromes requiring hospitalization in a large incident Medicare dialysis population. The authors state that their findings do not support our suggestion [2] of an association between malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis (MIA hypothesis) in patients with end...
متن کاملNutritional Status Predicts 10-Year Mortality in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis
Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is associated with mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis. The correct diagnosis of PEW is extremely important in order to predict clinical outcomes. However, it is unclear which parameters should be used to diagnose PEW. Therefore, this retrospective observational study investigated the relationship between mortality a...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T predicts mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease.
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease have a high risk of premature death, mainly as the result of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is not sufficiently explained by the conventional risk factors. We therefore prospectively investigated total mortality and cardiovascular events in 102 patients on hemodialysis and assessed the prognostic value of baseline disease status and laborato...
متن کاملBardet-Biedl Syndrome with End Stage Renal Disease
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is one of the rare autosomal recessive disorders that affect multiple organs of the body. The signs and symptoms of this condition vary among affected individuals, even among members of the same family. We present a case of BBS with features of hypogonadism and features such as marked central obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, renal abnormalities and mental ...
