Relationship between Intra-renal Arterial Resistance Index (RI) and Albuminuria in Diabetic Patients

OBJECTIVE: Diabetic nephropathy is a major diabetes complication. Arterial resistance index (RI) may predict deterioration in kidney function. This study was designed to compare renal arterial RI in different stages of renal function according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum creatinine level and proteinuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional study on 81 diabetic patients i...

The impact of FTY720 (fingolimod) on vasodilatory function and arterial elasticity in renal transplant patients.

BACKGROUND FTY720 has recently demonstrated a similar efficacy in prevention of acute graft rejection compared with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in a large phase III trial of de novo renal transplant recipients. Creatinine clearance, however, was significantly lower in FTY720-treated patients. In the present study, we examined the impact of FTY720 on vascular function in a subgroup of patients o...

Evaluation of the Relationship between Serum Ferritin Level and Renal Function in Patients with Thalassemia Major

Background and Aim: Serum ferritin in patients with thalassemia major is an indicator of iron overload, which is the main cause of damage to various organs of the body in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum ferritin level and renal function in thalassemia major patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectio...
