Increased cardiovascular risk associated with reduced kidney function.
BACKGROUND Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at substantial risk for cardiovascular mortality, but the risk associated with specific glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) is unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between level of kidney function and the risk of cardiovascular mortality in a diverse population. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a nonco...
متن کامل50-bp ins/del polymorphism of sod1 is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
compelling evidence suggests that the oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (cvd). superoxide dismutase (sod) enzymes play a major role in detoxification of reactive oxygen species and protection against oxidative stress. we examined the possible association between a 50-bp insertion/deletion in the sod1 promoter 1684-bp upstream of the sod1 atg with...
متن کاملHomoarginine, kidney function and cardiovascular mortality risk.
BACKGROUND Homoarginine is a novel biomarker for cardiovascular diseases. In the present large cohort study, we evaluate how homoarginine is linked to kidney function and examine the potential interaction of homoarginine and kidney function as predictors of cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS Serum homoarginine (mean: 2.41 ± 1.05 µmol/L), cystatin C and creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFR, mean...
متن کاملReduced lung function is independently associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in Korean men
BACKGROUND Reduced lung function is associated with incident insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between lung function and incident type 2 diabetes in Korean men. METHODS This study included 9,220 men (mean age: 41.4 years) without type 2 diabetes at baseline who were followed for five years. Subjects were divided into four groups according to...
متن کاملAcrolein Exposure Is Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk
BACKGROUND Acrolein is a reactive aldehyde present in high amounts in coal, wood, paper, and tobacco smoke. It is also generated endogenously by lipid peroxidation and the oxidation of amino acids by myeloperoxidase. In animals, acrolein exposure is associated with the suppression of circulating progenitor cells and increases in thrombosis and atherogenesis. The purpose of this study was to det...
