Prevalence and severity of anaemia in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and different degrees of chronic renal insufficiency.

2007

<i>Background/Aim:</i> Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the single most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however its real impact on renal anaemia has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether onset, severity, and prevalence of anaemia during the course of CKD is different between type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients. <i>Methods:</i> We enrolled 281 patients with: (1) type 2 diabetes and no CKD (n = 75); (2) type 2 diabetes plus CKD (n = 106), and (3) CKD without type 2 diabetes (n = 100). According to K/DOQI guidelines, the patients with renal insufficiency (i.e., those with a glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min) were subgr…

A CASE OF CARDIAC COMPRESSION BY HEPATIC CYST IN A WOMAN WITH POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE.

2008

Liver cysts are common extrarenal manifestations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). They occur more frequently in women, and are also more in number and larger in size, than in men. Liver cysts tend to develop slower than the kidney cysts; their number and size increases with the age (worsening kidney function), number of pregnancies, and estrogen assumption. Although most patients with ADPKD report no liver symptoms, sometimes, chronic manifestations related to progressive increase of the polycystic liver are experienced. The quality of life can be severely impaired with huge hepatomegaly causing abdominal distension, pain, dyspepsia, dyspnoea, fatigue, physical and e…
