A new gender-specific model for skin autofluorescence risk stratification
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are believed to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of a variety of diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Non-invasive skin autofluorescence (SAF) measurement serves as a proxy for tissue accumulation of AGEs. We assessed reference SAF and skin reflectance (SR) values in a Saudi population (n = 1,999) and evaluated the existing...
متن کاملSkin Autofluorescence Is Associated with the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Prospective Observational Study
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end product (AGE) accumulation is thought to be a measure of cumulative metabolic stress that has been reported to independently predict cardiovascular disease in diabetes and renal failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between AGE accumulation, measured as skin autofluorescence, and the progression of renal disease in pre-dialysis patients...
متن کاملSkin and eye lens as biological UVR dosimeters
The work has been carried out at Department of Dermatology, H:S Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen. The main objective of the project was to explore, if the skin and the eye lens could be used as biological Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) dosimeters. Solar UVR exposure is an important risk factor for development of skin cancer. A usable method for monitoring individual UVR exposure is therefore prereq...
متن کاملSkin autofluorescence is associated with renal function and cardiovascular diseases in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients.
BACKGROUND Tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) is thought to be a contributing factor to the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Skin autofluorescence, a non-invasive measure of AGE accumulation using autofluorescence of the skin under ultraviolet light, has shown associations with CVD in haemodialysis patients. The present study aimed to evaluate relationships...
متن کاملEthnicity and skin autofluorescence-based risk-engines for cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus
Skin auto fluorescence (SAF) is used as a proxy for the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and has been proposed to stratify patients into cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) risk groups. This study evaluates the effects of seven different ethnicities (Arab, Central-East African, Eastern Mediterranean, European, North African, South Asian and Southeast As...
