McIntyre Background/Aims: Endotoxaemia, a driver of systemic inflammation, appears to be driven by dialysis-induced circulatory stress in haemodialysis (HD...

... inflammation with strong associations with CVD and CKD. This evidence is robust despite the use of a broad variety of periodontal disease measures and definitions [ 6,8,9,10,11,12,25,26,27 ]. Kshirsagar et al. [ 28 ] also found periodontitis to be associated with increased CVD mortality in patients with end...

.... The spleen, a major component of the reticuloendothelial system, appears to be a key player in the ‘cytokine storm' that develops after infection and trauma, and the resultant systemic inflammation is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Over the past decade, evidence has suggested that controlling...

... such as radiological contrast and gentamicin administration but not others. Conclusion: The effect of CRP in these analyses supports the role of systemic inflammation in susceptibility to post-admission AKI. It accounts for the greater part of univariate associations between AKI and some nephrotoxic agents, placing...

The aim of this study was to identify hypovitaminosis D in HD patients without signs of hyperparathyroidism and to analyze its association to inflammation and echocardiographic alterations. Methods: Patients on HD with iPTH <300 pg/ml not receiving vitamin D therapy were recruited...

...Aline B. Hauser; Andréa E.M. Stinghen; Simone M.

Current sterile dialysis solutions cause inflammation in the submesothelial compact zone that leads to fibrosis...

... by hepatocytes, modulated in response to anaemia, hypoxia, or inflammation. We tested the hypothesis that NGAL may be related to hepcidin, not only to iron metabolism, in 182 prevalent haemodialysed patients. Methods: Iron status (iron, total iron-binding capacity, ferritin, total saturation of transferrin, TSAT...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between IMT, inflammation and other cardiovascular risk factors in such patients. Methods: CKD...
