The effect of intravenous vitamin C on the phosphorus level reduction in hemodialysis patients: A double blind randomized clinical trial [PDF]

, 2012
Aim The majority of hemodialysis patients are hyperphosphate-mic. Hyperphosphatemia in these patients can lead to renal oste-odystrophy, vascular calcifcation, cardiovascular events, and is independently associated with mortality risk.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Inflammation and Erythropoietin Resistance in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross‐Sectional Study of C‐Reactive Protein and Anemia in Hemodialysis Patients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study examined the role of inflammation in anemia among patients with chronic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis. Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels were associated with reduced iron availability, lower hematocrit, and increased erythropoietin requirements.

Reframing Post‐Hepatectomy Liver Failure as a Determinant of Post‐Recurrence Survival in HCC

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is traditionally considered a transient perioperative complication with limited long‐term consequences, yet its long‐term oncologic implications in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Methods Patients undergoing primary hepatectomy for HCC between 2007 and 2018 were analyzed.
