Journal ArticleDOI
Suppressed soluble Fms–like tyrosine kinase-1 production aggravates atherosclerosis in chronic kidney disease
Masaru Matsui,Yukiji Takeda,Shiro Uemura,Takaki Matsumoto,Ayako Seno,Kenji Onoue,Hideo Tsushima,Katsuhiko Morimoto,Tsunenari Soeda,Satoshi Okayama,Satoshi Somekawa,Satoshi Somekawa,Ken-ichi Samejima,Hiroyuki Kawata,Rika Kawakami,Kimihiko Nakatani,Masayuki Iwano,Yoshihiko Saito,Yoshihiko Saito +18 more
TL;DR: Postheparin sFlt-1 levels were inversely related to atherosclerosis in CKD patients, and this correlation was more robust after heparin injection, as verified by subsequent cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental Growth Factor as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Events in Patients with CKD from the NARA-CKD Study
Masaru Matsui,Shiro Uemura,Yukiji Takeda,Ken-ichi Samejima,Takaki Matsumoto,Ayako Hasegawa,Hideo Tsushima,Ei Hoshino,Tomoya Ueda,Katsuhiko Morimoto,Keisuke Okamoto,Sadanori Okada,Kenji Onoue,Satoshi Okayama,Hiroyuki Kawata,Rika Kawakami,Naoki Maruyama,Yasuhiro Akai,Masayuki Iwano,Hideo Shiiki,Yoshihiko Saito +20 more
TL;DR: Elevated PlGF is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD and was not attenuated when participants were stratified by age, sex, traditional risk factors, and eGFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heart Failure Associated with Metastatic Myocardial Calcification in a Hemodialysis Patient with Progressive Calcification of the Hand
Masaru Matsui,Satoshi Okayama,Akihiro Takitsume,Katsuhiko Morimoto,Ken-ichi Samejima,Shiro Uemura,Yoshihiko Saito +6 more
TL;DR: Progressive metastatic calcification of the skin and subcutaneous tissue is useful for predicting myocardial calcification, and a 47-year-old man with hemodialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease presented with progressive dyspnea is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complement activation is associated with crescent formation in IgA nephropathy
Hiroe Itami,Shigeo Hara,Ken-ichi Samejima,Hideo Tsushima,Katsuhiko Morimoto,Keisuke Okamoto,Takaaki Kosugi,Takahiro Kawano,Kengo Fujiki,Hiromichi Kitada,Kinta Hatakeyama,Kazuhiko Tsuruya,Chiho Ohbayashi +12 more
TL;DR: The C ≥ 1 group had significantly increased use of steroids, which probably caused comparable renal function during the follow-up period, and Crescent formation in IgAN was associated with activation of the lectin and alternative pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic Benefits of Tocilizumab Vary in Different Organs of a Patient with AA Amyloidosis
Masaru Matsui,Satoshi Okayama,Hideo Tsushima,Ken-ichi Samejima,Tomoko Kanki,Ayako Hasegawa,Katsuhiko Morimoto,Yasuhiro Akai,Masato Takano,Shiro Uemura,Chiho Ohbayashi,Yoshihiko Saito +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the therapeutic effects of TCZ can vary among organs in patients with AA amyloidosis, as seen in a woman in her 60s with rheumatoid arthritis referred to the authors' hospital because of cardiac and renal dysfunction.
