Prognostic Value of Adrenomedullin and Natriuretic Peptides in Uroseptic Patients Induced by Ureteroscopy
The aim of this paper is to investigate whether urosepsis is related to irrigation pressure of ureteroscopy (URS) and evaluate the prognostic value of adrenomedullin (ADM) and atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) in URS-induced uroseptic patients. From July 2008 to October 2013, we enrolled 332 patients with untreated unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). The UUO group included ...
متن کاملPlasma Adrenomedullin Patients with Essential and Natriuretic Peptides in or Malignant Hypertension
Adrenomedullin (AM), a potent vasodilator and natriuretic peptide, is found in human blood. To investigate the pathophysiological role of AM in essential and malignant hypertension (EHT and MHT), we measured the plasma concentrations of AM in patients with EHT of WHO stage I or II (n = 42) and in those with MHT (n = 9) by a specific radioimmunoassay, and compared these concentrations with those...
متن کاملBio-Molecular Markers for Cardiovascular Disease: Significance of Natriuretic Peptides and Adrenomedullin
There are many established and proposed bio-molecular markers for cardiovascular disease, including vasoactive substances, substances related to inflammation and oxidative stress, and substances involved in tissue structure and remodeling. Among these substances, we focused on natriuretic peptides and adrenomedullin (AM) as clinically useful bio-molecular markers in this review. Three natriuret...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptides
Renal dysfunction has emerged as an important independent predictor of adverse outcomes, renal as well as cardiovascular. Renal function is crucially affected by intrinsic renal factors (particularly remaining functional renal mass), hemodynamic function (renal perfusion pressure, renal venous pressure), oxygen delivery, and neurohumoral input. The natriuretic peptides play an important role in...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptides.
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are released from the heart in response to pressure and volume overload. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-proBNP have become important diagnostic tools for assessing patients who present acutely with dyspnea. The NP level reflects a compilation of systolic and diastolic function as well as right ventricular and valvular function. Studies suggest that us...
