Resistive Index as a Marker of Renal Pathology in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease; Is It Useful?
Background Chronic kidney disease is a global health concern, its detection and diagnosis in earlier stages is also a great challenge that can alleviate this burden. Kidney biopsy is important to establish histopathological patterns. But, it is invasive. We aimedto evaluate the correlation of renal resistive index (RI) measured by Doppler ultrasound with the prog...
متن کاملAtherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP): A marker of cardiovascular disease
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the cause of one third of deaths worldwide and this will progress because of increasing CVD's risk factors. The most basic task of dealing with the epidemic of CVD is primary prevention of risk factors. As Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is a strong marker to predict the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, we assessed the correlat...
متن کاملRenal Doppler Resistive Index as a Marker of Oxygen Supply and Demand Mismatch in Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Renal Doppler resistive index (RDRI) is a noninvasive index considered to reflect renal vascular perfusion. The aim of this study was to identify the independent hemodynamic determinants of RDRI in mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS RDRI was determined in 61 patients by color and pulse Doppler ultrasonography of the interlobar renal arteri...
متن کاملFragmented ECG as a Risk Marker in Cardiovascular Diseases
Various noninvasive tests for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death (SCD) were studied, mostly in the context of structural heart disease such as coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiomyopathy and heart failure but have low positive predictive value for SCD. Fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) on a 12-lead ECG is a marker of depolarization abnormality. fQRS include presence of various morpholo...
متن کاملPentraxin 3 as a Novel Marker in Cardiovascular Diseases?
Pentraxin 3 (also known as TNFAIP5, TSG-14) belongs to the superfamily of proteins characterized by cyclic multimeric structure. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is synthesized locally at the inflammatory sites by endothelial and smooth muscle cells upon exposure to inflammatory signals such as IL-1β, TNF-α or ox-LDL, but not IL-6. Furthermore, PTX3 is highly expressed in vascular cells and myocardial cells ...
