Should living kidney donor candidates with impaired fasting glucose donate?
As the kidney transplant waiting list grows, the willingness of transplant centers to accept complex donors increases. Guidelines for the evaluation of living kidney donors exist but do not provide clear guidance when evaluating the complex donor. Although few transplant centers will approve donor candidates with impaired glucose tolerance and most, if not all, will deny candidates with diabete...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the glycemic variation during hospitalization in long-term mortality in nondiabetic patients. METHODS Retrospective study of 2043 consecutive patients without known diabetes mellitus admitted for ...
متن کاملImpaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose and cardiovascular risk.
To the Editor: Tamita et al reported that abnormal glucose tolerance in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major risk factor for future cardiovascular events and might critically distinguish high-risk individuals.1 The cardiovascular event-free survival rate in the impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group and the group with newly diagnosed diabetes were 73% and 67%, respectively...
متن کاملImpaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance: implications for care.
T ype 2 diabetes is now epidemic. In the U.S., there has been a 61% increase in incidence between 1990 and 2001 (1). There are currently 1.5 million new cases per year, and the prevalence in 2005 was almost 21 million (2).

متن کاملUltra-protective tidal volume: how low should we go?
Applying tidal volumes of less than 6 mL/kg might improve lung protection in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. In a recent article, Retamal and colleagues showed that such a reduction is feasible with conventional mechanical ventilation and leads to less tidal recruitment and overdistension without causing carbon dioxide retention or auto-positive end-expiratory pressure. Howev...
