Overview: increased cardiovascular risk in patients with minor renal dysfunction: an emerging issue with far-reaching consequences.
It has been known since the 1970s (1) that the cardiovascular (CV) risk is dramatically increased in patients who are on renal replacement therapy. The magnitude of the risk has been more clearly quantified in recent studies (2). What is new, however, is the recognition that even minor renal dysfunction as reflected by an increase in serum creatinine (or, more precise, by estimated GFR) on the ...
متن کاملImpact of renal dysfunction as a cardiovascular risk factor.
This review summarizes the available evidence concerning the relationship between renal dysfunction and cardiovascular risk in non-diabetic patients. Based on numerous studies, there remains no more doubt today, that even minor renal dysfunction, as reflected by microalbuminuria and/or decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate, causes a dramatic increase in cardiovascular risk. Renal dysfu...
متن کاملRenal dysfunction is an independent risk factor for bleeding after gastric ESD
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide and gastric cancer sometimes occurs with CKD. However, the safety and feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for patients with CKD are not clear. The aim of this study is to clarify the feasibility and safety of gastric ESD for patients with CKD. PATIENTS AND METHODS This ...
متن کاملApolipoprotein C-III: understanding an emerging cardiovascular risk factor.
The concurrence of visceral obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia comprises the concept of the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome is an escalating problem in developed and developing societies that tracks with the obesity epidemic. Dyslipidaemia in the metabolic syndrome is potently atherogenic and, hence, is a major risk factor for CVD (cardiovascular disease) in these subjects...
متن کامل[Adiponectin: an emerging cardiovascular risk factor. The REFERENCE Study].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Emerging cardiovascular (CV) risk factors such as adiponectin, glycosilated hemoglobin, waist circumference and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level can aid CV risk stratification. It has been shown that classic factors alone are not sufficient to explain CV risk fully. The adiponectin level has been linked to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and cor...
