The effects of grape seed on apoptosis-related gene expression and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015)Background: Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. Emerging evidences indicate that many mechanistic pathways including apoptosis play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression ... -
Nephrotoxic effects of varenicline as the most effective drug used for smoking cessation: a preliminary experimental study
(SPRINGER, 2015)Varenicline is a new most effective drug for smoking cessation. Its effect on kidney functions remains unclear. This study purposed to investigate whether varenicline causes nephrotoxicity in rats. Fifteen rats were randomly ... -
The effects of ozone therapy on caspase pathways, TNF-alpha, and HIF-1 alpha in diabetic nephropathy
(SPRINGER, 2016)Accelerated apoptosis plays a vital role in the development of diabetic vascular complications. Ozone may attenuate diabetic nephropathy by means of decreased apoptosis-related genes. The aim of our study was to investigate ... -
Micro RNA-320 as a novel potential biomarker in renal ischemia reperfusion
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2016)Aim: MicroRNAs (miR) are important diagnostic and treatment targets due to their different tissue expressions and their central position in the regulation of gene expressions. miR studies might pioneer emerging of new ... -
Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc Ratio in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
(TURK NEFROLOJI DIYALIZ TRANSPLANTASYON DERGISI, 2016)OBJECTIVE: Sudden cardiac death and risk of arrhythmia are higher in patients with ESRD. Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc are novel and more reliable indexes of ventricular arrhythmogenesis and sudden cardiac death than QTc. The aim ... -
The Relationship of Red-Cell Distribution Width and Carotid Intima Media in Chronic Kidney Disease
(TURK NEFROLOJI DIYALIZ TRANSPLANTASYON DERGISI, 2016)OBJECTIVE: Red-cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter routinely used for diagnosis of different anemia types. Recent studies have shown the RDW relationship with mortality in general population and patients with ... -
The Prevalence of Fabry Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Turkey: The TURKFAB Study
(KARGER, 2016)Background/Aims: Fabry disease is a treatable cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) characterized by a genetic deficiency of a-galactosidase A. European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) recommends screening for Fabry disease in ... -
The relationship between visceral adipose tissue and intima-media thickness in patients with kidney disease
(A. CARBONE Editore, 2016)Introduction: Increase in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with cardiovascular risk. However, the relationship between atherosclerosis and VAT has not yet been adequately studied in chronic kidney disease (CKD). ... -
MicroRNA-125b as a new potential biomarker on diagnosis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2017)Background: Acute renal failure is commonly seen in the perioperative period. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury plays a major role in acute renal failure and delayed graft function. MicroRNAs (miRs), which are pivotal ... -
The association of profilin-1 levels with survival in chronic kidney disease
(WILEY, 2017)BackgroundProfilin-1 is a ubiquitous, actin-binding protein that plays an important role in the regulation of actin polymerization and cytoskeleton remodelling and contributes to vascular dysfunction. We conducted this ... -
Chitotriosidase as a novel biomarker of early atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients
(WILEY, 2017)Introduction: Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation and increased macrophage activity have a central role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. It is shown that chitotriosidase (CHIT-1) is a marker of macrophage ... -
Profilin-1 as a New Potential Biomarker on Diagnosis of Early Atherosclerosis in Hemodialysis Patients
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017)… -
Relationship between Fragmented QRS Complex and Aortic Stiffness in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
(KARGER, 2017)Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between fragmented QRS complex (fQRS), aortic stiffness, and diastolic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients. Subjects and Methods: A sample of 56 patients who received ... -
IL-33 and ST2 levels in chronic kidney disease: Associations with inflammation, vascular abnormalities, cardiovascular events, and survival
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017)Objective Increased inflammation, associated with the increase in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage, has a very important influence in vascular injury and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate ...
