Arterial calcifications and bone histomorphometry in end-stage renal disease.
Arterial calcification (AC) is a common complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The mechanisms responsible are complex, including disturbances of mineral metabolism and active expression of various mineral-regulating proteins. An inverse relationship between AC and bone density has been documented in uremic patients. In the study presented here, which included 58 patients with ESRD on h...
متن کاملArterial calcifications, arterial stiffness, and cardiovascular risk in end-stage renal disease.
To test the predictive values of and independent contributions to cardiovascular and all-cause mortality of various arterial parameters exploring characteristics of the arterial wall at different sites, we studied prospectively 110 stable end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis. These parameters involved carotid diameter, carotid intima-media thickness, carotid compliance, carotid dist...
متن کاملBardet-Biedl Syndrome with End Stage Renal Disease
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is one of the rare autosomal recessive disorders that affect multiple organs of the body. The signs and symptoms of this condition vary among affected individuals, even among members of the same family. We present a case of BBS with features of hypogonadism and features such as marked central obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, renal abnormalities and mental ...
متن کاملMetabolic lung disease: diffuse metastatic pulmonary calcifications with progression to calciphylaxis in end-stage renal disease.
The goal of the present case report is to enhance recognition of the incidence of tissue calcifications, which are quite common in patients with end-stage renal disease. We focus on pulmonary metastatic calcifications and the potential progression of this condition to tissue necrosis and lung cavitations in the setting of severe electrolyte imbalance. This case highlights the importance of earl...
متن کاملThe relationship between Aldosterone level and various LV conditions in patients with End-stage renal disease
Background: Aldosterone has been assumed to be implicated in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Preventing the progression of LVH in the early period of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) can increase patient survival. In this study, therefore, we analyzed the relationship between aldosterone level and LVH in ESRD patients who underwent hemodialysis at Fatemeh Zahra Hospital and Imam Khomeini Hosp...
