1. 6. Fat mass, adipokines and clinical complications of chronic kidney disease

   Nyckelord :Chronic kidney disease; end-stage renal disease; insulin resistance; inflammation; cardiovascular disease; adipokines; leptin; epoetin; resistin; visfatin; AHSG; CD163; outcome.;

   Sammanfattning : Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), irrespective of initial etiology, have a risk of cardiovascular morbidity (CVD) and mortality that is many-fold higher than that of a similar person without CKD. While traditional risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia, certainly contribute, these factors cannot by themselves explain the burden of CVD. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Purpose: To confront the statement that gadolinium contrast media (Gd-CM) are less nephrotoxic than iodine contrast media (I-CM) when used in x-ray angiographic and computed tomographic (CT) examinations. Methods: I) For CT measurements (mean density in Hounsfield numbers) 20-mL syringes filled with I- and Gd-CM at 0.01, 0.02, 0. LÄS MER

4. 8. Glomerulopathy in normoalbuminuric adolescents with type 1 diabetes : relations between structure, function, metabolic control and ambulatory blood pressure

   Författare :Torun Torbjörnsdotter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Type 1 diabetes; Adolescents; Metabolic control; Kidney morphology; Basement membrane thickness; Foot process width; Kidney function test; Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring;

   Sammanfattning : An increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes in childhood has been reported in several countries, especially among the youngest children. Although clinically apparent diabetic vascular disease is rare in children and adolescents, 30-40% are at risk of developing nephropathy during their lifetime which may lead to renal failure.

5. 9. The clinical importance of non-HLA specific antibodies in kidney transplantation

   Författare :Almahri Ayeda; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transplantation; non-HLA antibody;

   Sammanfattning : The clinical significance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (Abs) for hyperacute, acute and chronic antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of kidney allografts has been clearly demonstrated. AMR occurs in the absence of donor-reactive HLA Abs. LÄS MER

7. 10. Childhood malignant disease and consequences for growth hormone secretion, intellectual function and cardiovascular risk

   Författare :Katarina Link; Lund Medicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth hormone deficiency; Insulin sensitivity; Cranial radiotherapy; Neuropsychological performance; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia; diabetologi; sekretion; Endokrinologi;

   Sammanfattning : In childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) a reduction in cardiac left ventricular mass (LVMi) and impairment of cardiac systolic function, as well as in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been shown. In study I, we showed that a low dose of GH treatment for 10 months resulted in increased LVMi and kidney size. LÄS MER
