Pentoxifylline Decreases Serum Level of Adhesion Molecules in Atherosclerosis Patients
Background: Inflammation is involved in development, progression, and complications of atherosclerotic disease. Clinical studies have indicated that the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), IL-18, and adhesion molecules correlates with the severity of atherosclerosis and can predict future cardiovascular events. Experimental studies have shown pentoxifylline (PTX) reduces these ...
متن کاملRelation between high serum hepcidin-25 level and subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients
OBJECTIVE In hemodialysis (HD) patients, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality and morbidity. In atherosclerotic diseases, iron gets accumulated in the arterial wall. Hepcidin is an important hormone in iron metabolism. Furthermore, hepcidin is associated with atherosclerotic disease. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relation of serum hepcidin-25 (SH-25) and ...
متن کاملSerum osteoprotegerin in prevalent hemodialysis patients: associations with mortality, atherosclerosis and cardiac function
BACKGROUND To assess whether serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) and/or fetuin-A predict mortality and cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. METHODS Multicenter, observational, prospective study that included 220 hemodialysis patients followed up for up to 6 years. Serum OPG and fetuin-A levels were measured at baseline and their possible association with clinical char...
متن کاملSerum osteoprotegerin level is lower in peritoneal dialysis patients than in hemodialysis ones.
PURPOSE Osteoprotegrin (OPG) and OPG-ligand are involved in bone turnover induced by parathyroid hormone (PTH) in renal osteodystrophy. We determined serum OPG level in dialysis patients and checked its correlations with other parameters of bone turnover. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum level of OPG, PTH, phosphates (Pi), calcium, total alkaline phosphatase (AP) and pH was determined in 29 periton...
متن کاملRelationship between serum osteoprotegerin and vascular calcifications in hemodialysis patients
Background Uremia is a vasculopathic process, and both cardiac calcification and vascular calcification seen from the early stages of chronic kidney disease. Osteoprotegerin could play a crucial role in atherosclerotic plaque formation, maturation and calcification. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship of serum osteoprotegerin with vascular calcification in patients with end...
