The patients with renal diseases, especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD), are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disturbances. Some hormones such as brain natriuretic peptide appear to be important serum biomarkers in predicting cardiac death in ESRD patients. Renal diseases cause inflammation, anemia, uremic toxins, fluid overload, and electrolyte disturbance. Kidney transplantation ...

human cytomegalovirus (hcmv, cmv) is a major infectious complication of renal transplantation. the objective of this survey was to optimize and establish a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique for rapid and early detection of cmv disease in renal transplant recipients. in a cross sectional study, a total of eighty-one edta-blood samples were collected as simple nonrandomized (sequential) w...
