Background
Recent studies have demonstrated that measurement of areal bone mineral density by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) predicts fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, whether fracture risk prediction through bone mineral density (BMD) is
Oxidative stress plays a major role in development of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Human mercaptalbumin (HMA), a reduced form of serum albumin, and non-mercaptalbumin (HNA), an oxidized form of serum albumin, are known as indicators for evaluating oxidative
Background: In the general population, the trabecular bone score (TBS) represents the bone microarchitecture and predicts fracture risk independent of bone mineral density (BMD). A few studies reported that TBS is significantly reduced in
BACKGROUND
Abnormalities in mineral and bone disorder (MBD) markers are common in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, previous studies have not accounted for their changes over time, and it is unclear whether these changes are associated with survival.
METHODS
We examined the association
Leptin is an adipokine that regulates various metabolism, but its association with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), a clinical manifestation of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), remains obscure. Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is recommended for severe SHPT patients. Here, the
While dietary intake is known to influence serum markers of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), the effects of recent food and beverage intake, particularly phosphorus consumption on these serum markers (phosphate, calcium, and parathyroid hormone [PTH]), are OBJECTIVE
To analyse the therapeutic effect of palliative radiation therapy (RT) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with bone lesions and soft tissue formations, to compare the therapeutic efficacy of two different RT regimens, the effect of RT on basic disease parameters, and its impact on survival
Purpose of review: (1) To provide commentary on the 2017 update to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Kidney
This study was aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of serum IL-6 (sIL-6) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The sIL-6 level in 288 patients with MM was retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with different IL-6 level were compared. The newly
BACKGROUND
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) and muscle wasting (MW) are serious complications in adults suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The inflammatory process and corticosteroid treatment may lead to changes in the IGF-system associated with MBD and MW.
OBJECTIVE
To assess changes in
OBJECTIVE
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) and muscle wasting (MW) are serious complications in adult patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease. These complications may be caused by alterations in the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system. The aim of the present study was to assess changes in
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare preoperative SPECT/CT with gamma-probe and methylene blue-dye (MBD) in the identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) in early stage endometrial cancer.
METHODS
40 stage-I EC patients (66.7 ± 9.7 years) underwent preoperative lymphoscintigraphy. After
BACKGROUND
The calcimimetic agent cinacalcet is effective for the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in dialysis patients. Changes to reimbursement of cinacalcet in Australia provided an opportunity to assess effects of medication cessation on biochemical and clinical outcomes in
BACKGROUND
Although many studies have recently addressed the mineral and bone disorder of chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD), only limited information is available for elderly dialysis patients.
METHODS
We prospectively collected serum phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25(OH) vitamin D,
To determine the prevalence of controlled parathyroid hormone (PTH) serum levels with intensified therapy for chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) in the dialysis population, we studied 563 chronic hemodialysis patients recruited from three different dialysis centers from three
