1. 1. The relationship between reduced renal function and cardiovascular disease

   Författare :Patrik Svensson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; eGFR; creatinine; cystatin C; CKD-EPI; CKD; CVD; Genetics; Blood Pressure; Hypertension;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the relationship between measures of renal function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with hypertension (the NORDIL study) and in the healthy population (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, MDC) and whether antihypertensive treatment response and the risk of CVD is affected by genetic variation of a regulator of the renal amiloroide sensitive sodium channel (NORDIL). In study 1 we tested creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with Cockroft-Gault (CG) and the MDRD equations and also microalbuminuria (MA) as predictors of CVD, stroke and CVD death.

3. 2. Biomarkers of Renal Function in Acute Coronary Syndromes

   Författare :Axel Åkerblom; Stefan James; Lars Wallentin; Torbjörn Omland; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystatin C; glomerular filtration rate; GFR; creatinine; acute coronary syndrome; ACS; kidney; renal; mortality; death; myocardial infarction; Cardiology; Kardiologi; Medicin; Medicine; Internal Medicine; Internmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis aimed to investigate cystatin C and creatinine-based estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), both at admission and during follow-up, on the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We also evaluated two cystatin C assays and assessed genetic determinants of cystatin C concentrations. LÄS MER

4. 3. Improving management of STEMI patients treated with primary PCI : Pharmacotherapy, renal function estimation and gender perspective

   Författare :Dimitrios Venetsanos; Eva Swahn; Joakim Alfredsson; Sofia Sederholm-Lawesson; Sigrun Halvorsen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focused on the acute management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in an effort to provide information that may improve outcome. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in STEMI patients during primary PCI. LÄS MER

5. 4. The balance between under- and over-immunosuppression after heart transplantation with emphasis on acute cellular rejection and chronic kidney disease. Experiences from Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988-2010

   Författare :Carl Söderlund; Kardiologi; []
   Nyckelord :heart transplantation; immunosuppression; acute cellular rejection; chronic kidney disease; generic; heart transplantation; immunosuppression; acute cellular rejection; chronic kidney disase; generic;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims:Heart transplantation (HT) constitutes the ultimate treatment choice for end-stage heart failure. Following HT, patients require life-long immunosuppressive treatment to prevent allograft rejection. LÄS MER

7. 5. Survival and renal function after acute kidney injury : epidemiological and biomarker studies

   Författare :Claire Rimes-Stigare; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs frequently in the critically ill and has an extremely high short-term mortality. The long-term risks of death, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) have not been fully established and have never been investigated in the Swedish intensive care (ICU) population.
