16. Clinical consequences after heart transplantation with reference to osteoporosis, renal function, and immunosuppression. Experiences from Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988-2019
Sammanfattning : Background. Heart transplantation (HT) remains the ultimate final therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. To prevent rejection of the allograft, life-long immunosuppressive therapy is required. LÄS MER
17. The role of FGF23/Klotho in mineral metabolism and chronic kidney disease
Sammanfattning : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden of growing incidence and prevalence. As renal function declines disturbances in mineral metabolism, such as hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, inevitably develop. These metabolic changes are closely associated with poor prognosis and survival. LÄS MER
18. Early cardiovascular risk markers and cardiac function in children with chronic kidney disease
Sammanfattning : Children with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of premature death, foremost due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The cardiovascular (CV) morbidity starts early in the disease process and renal transplanted children (CKD-T) are also at risk. LÄS MER
19. Long-term outcome after hypothermia-treated hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy
Sammanfattning : Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of acquired brain injury in newborn infants. It is a potentially life-threatening condition that leaves survivors at substantial risk of life-long debilitating sequelae including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, intellectual disability, sensory disruption, behavioural issues, executive difficulties and autism spectrum disorder.

20. Innate immunity and cardiac structure in chronic kidney disease
Sammanfattning : The inflammatory state of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to increased susceptibility to infections and cardiovascular complications. In this thesis we aimed to investigate development of inflammatory properties at different stages of CKD and changes in innate immunity as well as cardiac structure. LÄS MER
