Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Albumin, C-Reactive Protein, Interleukin 6, and Fetuin A as Predictors of Malnutrition, Cardiovascular Disease, and Mortality in Patients With ESRD
Hirokazu Honda,Abdul Rashid Qureshi,Olof Heimbürger,Peter Bárány,Kai Wang,Roberto Pecoits-Filho,Peter Stenvinkel,Bengt Lindholm +7 more
TL;DR: Comparisons indicate that of these biomarkers, IL-6 level may be the most reliable predictor of CVD and mortality in patients with ESRD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Associations of Muscle Mass and Muscle Strength with Mortality in Dialysis Patients
Naohito Isoyama,Abdul Rashid Qureshi,Carla Maria Avesani,Bengt Lindholm,Peter Bárány,Olof Heimbürger,Tommy Cederholm,Peter Stenvinkel,Juan Jesus Carrero,Juan Jesus Carrero +9 more
TL;DR: Low muscle strength was more strongly associated with aging, protein-energy wasting, physical inactivity, inflammation, and mortality than low muscle mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of inflammation on epigenetic DNA methylation - a novel risk factor for cardiovascular disease?
Peter Stenvinkel,Mohsen Karimi,Stefan Johansson,Jonas Axelsson,Mohamed E. Suliman,Bengt Lindholm,Olof Heimbürger,Peter Bárány,A. Alvestrand,Louise Nordfors,Abdul Rashid Qureshi,Tomas J. Ekström,Martin Schalling +12 more
TL;DR: The lifespan of dialysis patients is as short as in patients with metastatic cancer disease, mainly due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and DNA methylation is an important cellular mechanism modulating gene expression associated with ageing, inflammation and atherosclerotic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low fetuin-A levels are associated with cardiovascular death: Impact of variations in the gene encoding fetuin.
Peter Stenvinkel,Kai Wang,Abdul Rashid Qureshi,Jonas Axelsson,Roberto Pecoits-Filho,Ping Gao,Peter Bárány,Bengt Lindholm,Tomas Jogestrand,Olof Heimberger,Clifford J. Holmes,Martin Schalling,Louise Nordfors +12 more
TL;DR: A low fetuin-A level is associated with malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis (carotid plaques), as well as with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, and this indicates that ESRD patients with the AHSG 256Ser allele are at risk of accelerated vascular calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obese sarcopenia in patients with end-stage renal disease is associated with inflammation and increased mortality
Hirokazu Honda,Abdul Rashid Qureshi,Jonas Axelsson,Olof Heimbürger,Mohamed E. Suliman,Peter Bárány,Peter Stenvinkel,Bengt Lindholm +7 more
TL;DR: PEW is common in overweight ESRD patients and is associated with high FBMI, low LBMI, and inflammation, and PEW was a predictor of mortality in both obese and nonobese sarcopenia patients.
