Journal ArticleDOI
Early Sympathetic Activation in the Initial Clinical Stages of Chronic Renal Failure
Guido Grassi,Fosca Quarti-Trevano,Gino Seravalle,Francesca Arenare,Marco Volpe,Silvia Furiani,Raffaella Dell'Oro,Giuseppe Mancia +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, direct and indirect indices of neuroadrenergic function have shown that end-stage renal disease is characterized by a marked sympathetic overdrive, however, whether this phenomenon r...
Journal Article
Plasma homocysteine levels and cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Gherardo Buccianti,Ivano Baragetti,Fabrizia Bamonti,Silvia Furiani,Valentina Dorighet,Cristina Patrosso +5 more
TL;DR: Hcy is a strong independent mortality predictor in HD patients with a 3% increase in mortality for each 1 micromol/L increase in plasma Hcy concentration, which agrees with previous findings confirming the role of Hcy in predicting CV risk factors in uremic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Vitamin E-Coated Membrane in Reducing Advanced Glycation End Products in Hemodialysis Patients: A Pilot Study
Ivano Baragetti,Silvia Furiani,S. Vettoretti,Sara Raselli,F.M. Maggi,Francesco Galli,Alberico L. Catapano,Gherardo Buccianti +7 more
TL;DR: Vitamin E-coated membrane reduces plasma AGEs levels and AGE values are negatively correlated with FMD, which is inversely correlated with hemodialysis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behaviour of regional adrenergic outflow in mild-to-moderate renal failure.
Guido Grassi,Gino Seravalle,Francesca Arenare,Gherardo Buccianti,Silvia Furiani,V. Ilardo,Gianbattista Bolla,Giuseppe Mancia +7 more
TL;DR: These data provide the first evidence that the sympathetic activation characterizing renal failure is not generalized to the entire cardiovascular system, and may depend on the fact that the two sympathetic districts are governed by mechanisms that are differently affected by the chronic uraemic state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of endothelial function in uraemic patients on peritoneal dialysis: a possible role for 5-MTHF administration
Ivano Baragetti,Sara Raselli,Andrea Stucchi,Veronica Terraneo,Silvia Furiani,Laura Buzzi,Katia Garlaschelli,Elena Alberghini,Alberico L. Catapano,Gherardo Buccianti +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 5-MTHF administration improves endothelial dysfunction in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, and this effect appears to be independent of the reduction in homocysteine plasma levels.
