TL;DR: In this article, the involvement of FGF23 in the development of tumoral calcinosis was analyzed using two kinds of ELISA: full-length and C-terminal ELISA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic Nervous System Function and Dysfunction in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
TL;DR: Optization of HD treatment, pharmacological interventions, and renal sympathetic denervation are several approaches targeting sympathetic overactivity to improve cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in HD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic activation and baroreflex function during intradialytic hypertensive episodes.
TL;DR: The data point to sympathetic overactivity with feed-forward blood pressure enhancement as an important mechanism of intradialytic hypertension in a significant proportion of patients, and the triggers of increased sympathetic activity during hemodialysis remain to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of baroreflex function in patients with end-stage renal disease after renal transplantation
TL;DR: The data show that renal transplantation improves blood pressure and HRV and restores baroreflex function to near normal range on the long-term follow-up and these effects may contribute to the improvement of blood pressure control and survival after successful transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex sensitivity and sympatho-vagal balance during intradialytic hypotensive episodes.
TL;DR: This study shows that the baroreflex mechanism is preserved and adequately activated during intradialytic hypotension, and is more likely to be responsible for dialysis-induced hypotension than other factors, such as ischemic heart disease, left ventricular dysfunction, and inadequate arteriolar tone.
