A new study published in the journal of BMC Nephrology showed that in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, ...

A discussion of a challenging case of renal artery denervation for resistant hypertension. Hypertension (HTN) is estimated to ...

Calcification is the deposition of calcium into the neointima (within atherosclerotic plaque) and/or the tunica media (the medial smooth muscle layer) of the blood vessels, and can occur with ...

Objective: To investigate the relationship between Visceral Fat Area (VFA) and cardiac valve calcification (CVC) in Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study ...

This study aimed to establish relations between calcified deposits in renal papillae and the development and morphology of corresponding COM papillary renal calculi.

The renal afferent nerves serve as physiologic regulators of efferent renal sympathetic ... and infrared heat lamp. The right femoral artery and vein were cannulated with polyethylene tubing (internal ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of renal nerves in mediating the sodium retention and hypertension associated with obesity. We determined the hemodynamic and renal excretory ...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome or sudden cardiac death, primarily affecting relatively young women (median age, 51 years) ...

Despite the frequency of coronary artery calcification among patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, only 25% were using statins. A significant percentage of patients ...

Here we use genetically predicted reaction fluxes to perform a systematic search for metabolic fluxes acting as buffers or amplifiers of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk alleles. Our analysis ...

Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of one or both blood vessels to the kidneys. The renal arteries bring blood from the heart to the kidneys to help filter waste and remove excess bodily fluid.
