  2. 1. Cardiac abnormalities in chronic kidney disease

    Author : Pavlos Kashioulis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular; chronic kidney disease; diastolic dysfunction;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem associated with increased risk of mortality and development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality even before the development of ESRD. READ MORE

  4. 2. Innate immunity and cardiac structure in chronic kidney disease

    Author : Carin Wallquist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early cardiovascular risk markers and cardiac function in children with chronic kidney disease

    Author : Ylva Tranæus Lindblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  6. 4. Impact of chronic kidney disease on the cardiovascular system : studies in non-dialysis patients and healthy people

    Author : Anna Asp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiac and arterial remodeling and stiffening occur in end-stage renal disease. The presence of cardiovascular (CV) alterations in earlier-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is less well studied. READ MORE

  7. 5. Heart failure in elderly with focus on diagnosis and prognosis
