In conclusion, our present study in renal transplant recipients suggests that the TLR system may be involved in both acute rejection and MACE...

... was to determine whether IMA (ischaemia-modified albumin) increases during dobutamine stress and detects myocardial ischaemia in patients with ESRD. A total of 114 renal transplant candidates were studied prospectively, and all received DSE (dobutamine stress echocardiography). IMA levels were taken at baseline...

Diluted urine was assayed for uromodulin using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. When...

Eight male cyclosporin-treated renal transplant recipients received human-α atrial natriuretic factor (1–28) at a dose of 1.2 pmol min −1 kg −1 or placebo for 2 h in a placebo-controlled, randomized, cross-over study. The plasma atrial natriuretic factor...
