Correlational studies on insulin resistance and leptin gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis patients
Objective(s):The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and leptin (LEP) gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Materials and Methods: From July 1, 2011 to August 1, 2011, patients who received chronic PD were chosen and divided into three groups (DM, high HOMR-IR, and low HOMR-IR). Two PCR products of LEP were sequenced and aligne...
متن کاملThe C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutation does not influence cardiovascular risk in the dialysis population: results of a multicentre prospective study.
BACKGROUND Although the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene polymorphism has been identified as an independent cardiovascular risk factor (CRF) in the general population and among uraemic subjects, the validity of this association remains controversial. METHODS To verify this hypothesis, we enrolled all subjects on maintenance dialysis treatment from a specific Italian dist...
متن کاملThe Comparative Survey of Life Quality in Renal Transplant Recipients, Peritoneal Dialysis, and Hemodialysis Patients in Kerman in the Year 2013
Background & Objective: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, quality of life is a state of complete physical, mental, and social health not merely the absence of the disease. End stage renal disease and its treatment affect patients' quality of life.

متن کاملRelation between Malnutrition–Inflammation–Atherosclerosis (MIA complex) in Diabetic Patients with Peritoneal Dialysis
Objective: Atherosclerosis disease, inflammation and malnutrition have strong association with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most commonly ESRD causes. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) could be associated with inflammation. Type 2 diabetic patients with advanced nephropathy show the highest levels of inflammatory markers. This study was designed to determine the associa...
متن کاملSpirometric Parameters: Hemodialysis Compared to Peritoneal Dialysis
Introduction: Renal failure affects the mechanical and the ventilatory function of the lungs. A few studies have evaluated the ventilatory and pulmonary function in dialysis patients. The present study aimed to compare Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) results in patients undergoing Hemodialysis (HD) and Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 50 pa...
