Effect of homocysteine lowering on mortality and vascular disease in advanced chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT High plasma homocysteine levels are a risk factor for mortality and vascular disease in observational studies of patients with chronic kidney disease. Folic acid and B vitamins decrease homocysteine levels in this population but whether they lower mortality is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine whether high doses of folic acid and B vitamins administered daily reduce mortality in patient...
متن کاملReporting standards for inferior vena caval filter placement and patient follow-up: supplement for temporary and retrievable/optional filters.
THIS Standards document is intended as a Supplement to the Recommended Reporting Standards for Vena Cava Filter Placement and Patient Followup, published in 1999 (1). Since 1999, there has been increased interest in non-permanent vena cava filters, with both increased research and clinical use of these devices. Several such devices are now approved for use in Europe, Canada, and the United Stat...
متن کاملVitamin supplementation reduces blood homocysteine levels: a controlled trial in patients with venous thrombosis and healthy volunteers.
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and thrombosis and is inversely related to plasma folate and vitamin B12 levels. We assessed the effects of vitamin supplementation on plasma homocysteine levels in 89 patients with a history of recurrent venous thrombosis and 227 healthy volunteers. Patients and hyperhomocysteinemic (homocysteine level >16 micromol/L) volunteers were ra...
متن کاملNational Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute programs for deep vein thrombosis.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) supports research in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), common medical events that, if not diagnosed and treated effectively, may cause significant disability and death. DVT and PE are thought to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral risk factors and are associated with many medical conditio...
متن کاملVascular outcome in patients with homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency treated chronically: a multicenter observational study.
An inborn error of metabolism, homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency, results in markedly elevated levels of circulating homocysteine. Premature vascular events are the main life-threatening complication. Half of all untreated patients have a vascular event by 30 years of age. We performed a multicenter observational study to assess the effectiveness of long-term homocyst...
