epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica/albumin

Background/objectives: To determine whether iron was being enterally absorbed in anemic patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Methods: Anemic

Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of disorders whose common primary feature is the formation of blisters following trivial trauma. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa, is frequently associated with growth retardation. This growth retardation has been

We report the details of our treatment of 5 patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Good results were obtained by esophageal dilatation using the balloon catheter method. Prior to the operation, we corrected the patients' nutritional status with oral supplementation of

Previous reports of glomerular disease in adult patients with autosomal dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EB) are limited and include post-infectious glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, amyloidosis, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis. To our knowledge, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

BACKGROUND In recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a good nutritional balance is necessary to obtain healing of the chronic wounds. However, involvement of the oral mucosa and oesophagus stenosis may be responsible for severe nutritional deficiencies. OBJECTIVE In order to propose an

BACKGROUND Chronic wounds are a major source of morbidity and mortality in generalized severe recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB-GS). OBJECTIVE This was a phase II double-blinded randomized controlled trial of intralesional allogeneic cultured fibroblasts in suspension solution versus
