The sustained inflammatory state in CKD is of complex pathogenesis and is believed to be in part attributable to the augmented activation of innate immune system cell subsets. The activation of the innate immune system plays an essential role within all the spectrum of cardiovascular disease in CKD,

The epidemiological survey of chronic kidney disease in China shows that the current incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in China is about 10.8%, with about 119 million patients. About 2% of patients will enter the stage of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and require dialysis or kidney

Acute pancreatitis is the most common pancreatic disorder. Although acute pancreatitis is a benign disease, it often progresses to a serious state, and mortality is still high. Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) was first used to describe cases of pancreatitis with narrowing of the pancreatic duct,

Response evaluation criteria in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Improved assessment of response and progression by Spectral CT? Clinical Background Renal cancer accounts for 2-3% of all cancers. The incidence of renal cancer in Denmark is approximately 900 new cases per year. Renal cell carcinoma

The leading cause of death in the world is due to cardiovascular events, which originate from coronary artery stenosis therefore it affects myocardial blood flow and finally may cause infarction. ST-Segment elevation is an indicator of infarction (STEMI) in electrocardiography (ECG) besides cardiac

Fabry Disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by mutations in the GLA gene coding for the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-GAL A). As a consequence globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), the enzyme's substrate, is not metabolized efficiently. The result is progressive

Structural changes to large arteries and abnormalities in mineral and bone metabolism are frequent manifestations in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Together, they contribute in a large part to the heightened morbidity and mortality observed in this population. Epidemiological data in

Materials and Methods: will be conducted an interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The series will consist of patients with at least 18 years old, suffering from chronic kidney disease stage V on dialysis and mean residential blood pressure superior to 135 x 85 mm Hg

The peripheral blood has been established as a source of hematopoietic stem cells, providing an alternative source to bone marrow for hematopoietic reconstitution of patients with oncologic, hematologic, and genetic diseases. Although apheresis is less efficient than bone marrow harvesting for

1. Background Chronic cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is mediated by monoclonal cold-reactive autoantibodies that bind to erythrocyte surface antigens, causing haemagglutination and complement-mediated haemolysis. Anaemia is severe (Hb 8.0 g/dL or lower) in one-third of patients and complement-induced
