    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; type 1 diabetes; diabetic nephropathy; oxidative stress; smoking; diet; blood pressure; renin-angiotensin system; nitric oxide synthase; Kidney diseases; Njursjukdomar;

    Abstract : Diabetic long-term complications, despite intensive treatment, cause serious handicaps at relatively young age in diabetic patients. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) develops in up to 30% of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). READ MORE

  4. 2. Interaction between biomaterials and innate immunity with clinical implications

    Author : Shan Huang; Kristina Nilsson Ekdahl; Charlotte Dahle; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Complement system; contact system; blood; biomaterials; biocompatibility; in vitro screening; iC3; dialysis;

    Abstract : Today there is an increasing clinical demand and expectation of patients for biomaterials, which underscores the importance of discovering the correlations between biomaterials and biological systems, especially blood. When an artificial material makes contact with blood, the first event is a rapid adsorption of plasma protein on the material surface, on top of which the innate immune system is triggered, with potentially detrimental consequences.

  5. 3. Fat mass, adipokines and clinical complications of chronic kidney disease

    Author : Jonas Axelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chronic kidney disease; end-stage renal disease; insulin resistance; inflammation; cardiovascular disease; adipokines; leptin; epoetin; resistin; visfatin; AHSG; CD163; outcome.;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  6. 4. Acute intermittent porphyria : studies of chronic disease, recombinant enzyme therapy and late complications

    Author : Eliane Sardh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Acute intermittent porphria; porphobilinogen; 5-aminolevulinic acid; porphobilinogen deaminase; enzyme therapy; acute porphyria attack; chronic active disease; late complications;

    Abstract : This thesis comprise five studies on patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) observed under different clinical conditions associated with the disorder. They have generally been monitored at the porphyria out-patient clinic in Stockholm South Hospital, and were biochemically monitored at Porphyria Centre Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 5. Renal and extrarenal signs of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autosomal dominant polycystic disease; extrarenal manifestations; arterial aneurysms; arterio-venous fistulas; continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; echocardiography;

    Abstract : The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical impact of renal and extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease). For this purpose, prospective and retrospective analyses of patients with ADPKD in different populations were performed. READ MORE
