After almost 20 years, anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment remain the focus of multiple questions for clinicians and investigators. The optimal hemoglobin (Hb) for patients with CKD is controversial and different targets are probably required for different populations. The
BACKGROUND
Although a known cardiovascular risk factor, anemia in the renal transplant recipients has only recently been receiving an increasing attention.
METHODS
In a cross-sectional study, data was obtained from 959 patients followed at a single outpatient transplant clinic. Based on the
Iron deficiency anemia is a frequently occurring clinical disorder. Despite the suggested association with hearing loss in the literature, cochlear sequelae of iron deficiency have yielded conflicting results in experimental studies. Auditory function was tested in iron-deficient and normal male
Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is rare, with only 1 patient in 1 million affected by the condition.1 Garratty identified 125 drugs indicated in DIIHA of which 11% were antineoplastic agents, and neither paclitaxel nor albumin-bound paclitaxel were included.2 In addition, we did not
BACKGROUND
This study investigated prevalence and correlates of anemia and uncontrolled anemia in chronic hemodialysis patients.
METHODS
A cross-sectional analysis was performed on registry data for 2,746 chronic (>6 months) hemodialysis patients aged 25-84. Data collection included years of
OBJECTIVE
Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is used to determine tissue hypoxia. We aimed to evaluate the serum IMA levels in preterm infants requiring transfusion due to anemia of prematurity, a clinical condition to cause tissue hypoxia.
METHODS
This prospective study was performed in Etlik Zubeyde
In order to assess the status of their immunologic system, a study was carried out in 38 adults with sickle-cell anaemia. Fifty healthy blood donors were used as control group. Significant decrease of serum albumin (p less than 0.02) and increase of alpha-globulins (p less than 0.01) and
1. The blood chemistry of normal adult rats and of splenectomized adult rats suffering with Bartonella muris anemia has been studied. 2. Non-protein nitrogen rises with the increase in severity of the anemia. Total serum proteins, serum albumin and serum globulin decrease slightly. Uric acid remains
Even though the use of erythropoietin and intravenous iron has improved the treatment of anemia in hemodialysis patients, a considerable proportion of these patients still have anemia. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of anemia in a hemodialysis population. In a single-center
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent, with increasing numbers of patients affected by the disease world-wide, and anemia is a common finding in patients with CKD. Anemia impacts negatively on cardiovascular disease, exercise capacity, and quality of life, resulting in significant
Twenty patients with anemia and massive splenomegaly were studied in order to elucidate the mechanism by which splenomegaly results in plasma volume expansion. In 18 patients, increased plasma volume accounted for most of the anemia. Fourteen patients had an exaggerated renin response to standing,
BACKGROUND
Posttransplant anemia (PTA) involves many factors. Although the link between the hemoglobin (Hb) levels and renal function is known, the relationship between proteinuria and PTA hemoglobin has not been widely explored. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether proteinuria was a
Menetrier's disease (MD) or polyadenomes en nappe is a form of hypertrophic gastropathy occurring primarily in middle-aged males. Patients generally present clinically with dyspepsia and, on occasion, with hypoproteinemic edema and anemia. The latter feature, when combined with the radiographic
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory process has a substantial contribution in the development of anemia in chronic hemodialysis patients. Low serum albumin in hemodialysis patients is considered a marker of inflammation. The present longitudinal study aimed to determine the relationship between low baseline
