Concomitant calcium entry blockade and inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system: a rational and effective means for treating hypertension

, 2008
Pharmacological treatment of hypertension is effective in preventing cardiovascular and renal complications. Calcium antagonists (CAs) and blockers of the renin-angiotensin system [angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II ...

Characteristics of ascitic fluid and diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis in malignant ascites: An observational study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacterial peritonitis in patients with malignant ascites (BP‐MA) is an understudied, high‐mortality condition. While ascitic polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell count ≥ 250 cells/mm3 defines the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis, an ascitic fluid parameter for the diagnosis of BP‐MA has not ...

A comparative analysis of the prevalence of medicine classes and polypharmacy between community‐dwelling and residential aged care populations in Western Australia

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Polypharmacy is a global issue, particularly among residential aged care home (RACH) residents with multimorbidity and complex care needs. However, population‐level evidence on longitudinal trends and comparisons with community‐dwelling (CD) older adults remains limited.

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

From cytokine storm to renal scarring in diabetic kidney disease: Biomarkers, risk stratification, and precision therapeutics

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Hyperglycemia‐driven cytokine activation initiates a sustained inflammatory cascade in diabetic kidney disease, promoting cellular injury and fibrogenic signaling. Integrating cytokine‐based biomarkers with risk stratification enables precision therapeutics that target inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately aiming to halt progression from early renal ...

Association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (insertion/deletion) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (A1166C) polymorphisms and breast cancer among Brazilian women

, 2009
Introduction. We evaluated the assocation between components of the renin-angiotensin system and the development of breast cancer in a case-control study by means of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) and angiotensin II type I ...
