Results: The incidence of AKI was 23.2%.  AKI had significant correlation with older age (p-value 0.006) and hypertension (p-value 0.034) . Chest pain and abdominal pain were more common in patients with than those without AKI. Also Mean serum concentration of inflammatory markers ( D-dimer and C-reactive protein (CRP)) in patients with AKI was 1863.6±1599 ng/ml and 66.65±60.81 ng/ml, compared ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Many studies support the hypothesis that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenic process of a variety of diseases including hypertension. In humans, hypertension is also considered a state of oxidative stress that can contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis and other hypertension-induced organ damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate an influence of acute ph...

Changes in extra and intracellular neurotransmitter amino acids concentration in the early stage of acute cerebral ischemia have been reported. In this the study, serum level of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and L-Arginine in acute ischemic stroke patients was assessed. 60 patients with acute ischemic stroke and sixthy healthy volunteers as a control group were assessed. Serum GABA was measure...
