results: At baseline, plasma chemerin was significantly higher in patients with the MetS as defined by the current harmonized consensus definition (n=147) than in non-MetS subjects (201±71 ng/ml versus 163±62 ng/ml p<0.001) and was inversely correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; r=-0.33, p<0.001). During follow-up, chemerin significantly predicted cardiovascular events (n=...
متن کاملLower estimated glomerular filtration rates in patients on long term lithium: a comparative study and a meta-analysis of literature
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that long-term lithium use is associated with a subtle decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. This study compared mean estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) in patients on long term lithium, against matched controls. METHODS Patients with bipolar affective disorder, who are on lithium (for at least a year), were compared against controls ...
