proteinuria/infarction

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the independent roles of proteinuria and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the development of acute myocardial infarction in a northern Taiwanese population. METHODS We conducted a community-based prospective cohort study in

To evaluate the association between dipstick proteinuria and myocardial infarction (MI) or all-cause mortality, a cohort study was conducted among 16,573 general Chinese population with diabetes or pre-diabetes, which were defined as self-reported history of diabetes or fasting blood glucose ≥5.6

To assess whether changes in proteinuria are associated with the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with hypertension. The Kailuan study was a prospective longitudinal cohort study on cardiovascular risk factors and events. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were

The authors provide a clinical example illustrating difficulties in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in a patient with infarction-like lesions in the heart, marked proteinuria, and diverse symptomatics due to excess catecholamine secretion by the tumor.

BACKGROUND Proteinuria and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are associated with an increased risk of mortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it is unknown whether there is a difference in prognostic value for all-cause mortality between proteinuria and eGFR

BACKGROUND Kidney failure (stage 5 chronic kidney disease [CKD]) is an independent risk factor for stent thrombosis (ST). Moderate (stage 3-4) CKD and proteinuria are both associated with adverse cardiovascular events, including worse outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI). Whether moderate CKD

The relationship between changes in proteinuria and myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear in people with diabetes or pre-diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value and independent role of changes in proteinuria over a 2-year period in the incidence of MI in people with diabetes or

Cytoplasmic heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABPc) is a low molecular weight protein with abundant presence in the myocardium. Upon ischemia it is released from the heart and can subsequently be detected in plasma and urine. In this study, the value of measurement of H-FABPc excreted into

A mechanical device was successfully used in therapeutic renal artery occlusion in a patient with renal amyloidosis and massive proteinuria (25 g/day). The serum albumin level increased from 1.8 to 3.4 g/dL after cessation of proteinuria. There has been no evidence of peripheral embolization,

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that figure 2 had not been replaced with the correct figure as indicated in the proofs.

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to compare mortality and clinical events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between nondiabetics and diabetics with and without proteinuria. BACKGROUND Diabetics have increased rates of late myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization and

Background In patients with myocardial infarction ( MI ), reduced kidney function is recognized as an important predictor of poor prognosis, but the impact of albuminuria, a representative measure of kidney damage, has not been extensively evaluated. Methods and Results In the SCREAM (Stockholm

The purpose of this study was to examine the course of residual glomerular function in two models of renal ablation both with equivalent degrees of nephron reduction (1 1/3 nephrectomy). The remnant group underwent right nephrectomy and infarction of one third of the left kidney, yielding constant

A 13-year-old boy was admitted to this hospital for evaluation of pitting edema of both legs. Three years ago, he had been diagnosed to have nephrotic syndrome. Two and half years ago, because of persistent heavy proteinuria, poor response to steroids and frequent relapse of disease, a renal biopsy
