  1. 16. Transarterial chemoembolization in primary liver and kidney malignancies

    Författare :Amar Karalli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, and the most current treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma is transarterial chemoembolization using drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE). The concept of TACE might also technically be applicable to other types of hypervascular cancers such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). LÄS MER

  3. 17. Vascular and inflammatory markers in chronic kidney disease

    Författare :Bodil Sjöberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), inflammation and malnutrition are harmful and highly prevalent conditions with influence on the atherosclerotic process and outcome. The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is substantially increased in CKD patients compared with healthy individuals. LÄS MER

  4. 18. The physiological and microbiological response to renal UPEC infection

    Författare :Keira Melican; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The pathological outcome of a bacterial infection depends on the interplay between the host s defences and the virulence arsenal of the pathogen. Appreciation of this interplay is crucial to the understanding of pathogenesis and the development of efficient clinical treatments. LÄS MER

  5. 19. α1-microglobulin – Therapeutic opportunities in kidney and erythrocyte pathology

    Författare :Amanda Kristiansson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; α1-microglobulin; oxidative stress; kidneys; heme; Red blood cells; hemolysis; radiation;

    Sammanfattning : Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. The reasons behind the condition are diverse, and can result in, or contribute to, the severity of many diseases. The body has different protective mechanisms to reduce the oxidative burden, among them a protein called α1-microglobulin (A1M). LÄS MER

  7. 20. Innate immunity and cardiac structure in chronic kidney disease

    Författare :Carin Wallquist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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
