More than 50% of end-stage renal disease subjects treated by chronic hemodialysis die from cardiovascular events. Although there is some information regarding to anemia compensation and to the levels of biochemical risk factors of atherosclerosis in other countries, the data from the Czech Republic
Hypocholesterolemia of unknown etiology has been previously described in various chronic anemias. Few small studies also suggested that those patients have a lower incidence of atherosclerotic events. The aim of our study was to determine the extent of hypocholesterolemia in various types of
A case of chronic, lethal vitamin A intoxication is reported, the diagnosis of which was not established intra vitam. The patient presented with chronic mixed prehepatic and hepatic icterus and hypersplenism with hemolytic anemia. On post mortem histological examination, abundant deposits of neutral
The assay of lipid composition in red blood cells of 51 patients with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) was conducted with the use of horizontal thin-layer chromatography, and the state of the end blood flow was studied with the ai of conjunctival biomicroscopy. It was found that in IDA patients the
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to find predictors for development of anemia in a large cohort of adults.
METHODS
Cohort study of a large health database from a screening center at the Rabin Medical Center in Israel, between the years 2000-2013. We asked which variables, known at the first visit, would predict
BACKGROUND
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (Waldmann's disease) is a rare disease characterized by dilated lymphatics in the small bowel leading to an exudative enteropathy with lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia and hypogammaglobulinemia.
METHODS
We report the case of a 23 year-old male who presented
BACKGROUND
Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent cause of mortality in hemodialysis patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy is the main risk factor for development of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients on hemodialysis. Anemia is the only main risk factor for the development of
Before the advent of recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO), androgens were used for treatment of anemia in dialysis patients. However, after the availability of recombinant EPO in the 1980s, the use of these substances was abondoned. We have previously reported that androgens have beneficial
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is a hemolytic agent which has been used in the treatment of polycythemia vera. Recent studies performed in our laboratory have indicated that the PHZ-induced anemia is immuno-hemolytic in etiology, and a prolonged bleeding time was present in some of the rats chronically
BACKGROUND
Anemia is a common complication in dialysis patients, scare studies have evaluated anemia in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors in patients undergoing PD in a single center where
BACKGROUND
Anemia in patients with early diabetes mellitus nephrosclerosis (DMN) is more severe than in patients with kidney disease of other origins, and the mechanism for this remains unclear. In this study, we carried out a retrospective study in order to identify the factors associated with
Plasma lipids and lipoproteins were estimated in 67 Nigerian children (mean age 10.19 years) with sickle cell anaemia (HbS) and 67 age- and sex-matched non-anaemic controls with normal haemoglobin (HbA). Plasma cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly lower while the plasma
BACKGROUND
A close association has been found between serum lipoprotein abnormalities and the risk of atherosclerosis. In adults, high stored body iron, high serum iron concentrations and low iron binding capacity were found to be risk factors for coronary heart disease. Iron-deficient diets have
UNASSIGNED
There is some evidence that shows the symptoms of anemia are fewere in overweight and obese people, so, the purpose of this research was to study the relationship between anemia and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with lipid profile status of the elderly.

This cross-sectional
Red blood cell membrane lipid composition was studied in 51 iron deficiency anemia patients, in 10 of them during ferro-therapy. It was noted that red blood cell membranes contained increased total levels of lipids, phospholipids and significantly decreased levels of cholesterol esters and
