Lipoprotein-apheresis reduces circulating microparticles in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia[S] [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
Lipoprotein-apheresis (apheresis) removes LDL-cholesterol in patients with severe dyslipidemia. However, reduction is transient, indicating that the long-term cardiovascular benefits of apheresis may not solely be due to LDL removal. Microparticles (MPs)

Clinical frailty assessment might be associated with mortality in incident dialysis patients

Scientific Reports, 2022
Frailty is associated with mortality in maintenance dialysis patients. For incident dialysis patients, we used the clinical frailty scale (CFS) to investigate frailty as related to mortality or hospitalization within 2 years.
