Methods: Diabetes was induced by a single intra per.....
AbstractUncontrolled hypertension is very prevalent even after successful kidney transplantation and may lead to unfavorable renal allograft and patient outcomes. Several factors pre- and post-transplant as well as surgical and non-surgical factors may contr.....
Abstract Increased Arterial Blood Pressure remains as a major risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease in adults. Worldwide, hypertension affects as many as 1 billion people and is responsible for approximately 7.1 million deaths per year, as well a.....
AbstractAn unusual case of a 41-year-old woman with renovascular hypertension associated with unilateral hydronephrosis and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) due to an accessory renal artery crossing the ureter were reported. Following surgical corre.....
AbstractObjectives: To examine whether the distribution of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, or biochemical markers of subclinical damage differs among first-degree relatives of patients who have suffered an acute myocardial infarction and the populat.....
AbstractPsychological ill being is often undervalued for the development and retention of hypertension. Frequently patients with insufficient response to multidrug therapy are defined as “true resistant hypertensive patients” without having sufficiently .....

AbstractA group of healthy men (12 to 33 subjects) aged 18-22 years was surveyed monthly for one year. Men worked up to 8-10 hours outdoors every day (European North of Russia: 62° N and 51° W). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BP), oxygen consumpti.....
AbstractRecently, the link between urinary albumin excretion and increased incidence of cardiovascular mortality has been demonstrated. Besides, clinical trials demonstrated the reduction of urinary albumin extraction during treatment translated into a reduc.....
AbstractA Patient is described where an incorrect BP measurement (under-cuffing) led to an over treatment with a wrong ACE/I – ARB association. Both mistakes induced an acute renal failure that partially recovered after saline-hydration and drug discontinu.....
