Soner Duman,Huseyin Toz,Gulay Asci,Sibel Alper,Mehmet Ozkahya,İdil Ünal,Ali Çelik,Ercan Ok,Ali Basci +8 more
TL;DR: Reduction or discontinuation of immunosuppression caused complete remission in all patients without surgical intervention, chemotherapy or radiotherapy in Kaposi's sarcoma developing after renal transplantation.

Soner Duman,Ali Ihsan Gunal,Sait Şen,Gulay Asci,Mehmet Ozkahya,Ender Terzioglu,Fehmi Akcicek,Gürhun Atabay +7 more
TL;DR: By inhibiting the production of TGFβ1, enalapril can preserve peritoneal histology,peritoneal function, and remodeling of mesothelial cells in a rat model of experimental PF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberculosis in Renal Transplant Recipients
Abdullah Sayiner,Turhan Ece,Soner Duman,Alaattin Yildiz,Mehmet Ozkahya,Zeki Kilicaslan,Yaman Tokat +6 more
TL;DR: Data show that tuberculosis has a high prevalence in transplant recipients, that it can effectively be treated using rifampin-containing antituberculosis drugs with a close follow-up of serum cyclosporine levels, and that INH prophylaxis is safe but more experience is needed to define the target population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Dialysate Calcium Level Reduces Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification and Improves Low Bone Turnover in Patients on Hemodialysis
Ercan Ok,Gulay Asci,Selen Bayraktaroglu,Huseyin Toz,Mehmet Ozkahya,Mümtaz Yilmaz,Fatih Kircelli,Ebru Sevinc Ok,Naim Ceylan,Soner Duman,Mustafa Cirit,Marie-Claude Monier-Faugere,Hartmut H. Malluche +12 more
TL;DR: Lowering dialysate Ca levels slowed the progression of CAC and improved bone turnover in patients on hemodialysis with baseline intact parathyroid hormone levels ≤300 pg/ml.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of Triiodothyronine Levels with Carotid Atherosclerosis and Arterial Stiffness in Hemodialysis Patients
Erhan Tatar,Fatih Kircelli,Gulay Asci,Juan Jesus Carrero,Ozkan Gungor,Meltem Sezis Demirci,Süha Süreyya Özbek,Naim Ceylan,Mehmet Ozkahya,Huseyin Toz,Ercan Ok +10 more
TL;DR: FT3 levels are inversely associated with carotid atherosclerosis but not with CAC in hemodialysis patients, and fT3 level was associated with c-f PWV in nondiabetics but not in diabetics.
