Survey and Risk Factors for Lower Urinary Tract Storage Symptoms in Middle ‐Aged and Older Stroke Patients in Urban China
ConclusionsOur study identified not only putative risk factors for LUTS in middle‐aged and elderly stroke patients, but genuine factors including snoring, living environment and educational background that increased the odds of storage symptoms as well. We identified that regular exercise and living with their children were protective factors for storage symptoms in stroke patients.

Epidemiology of hypertension
Publication date: April–June 2013 Source:Clinical Queries: Nephrology, Volume 2, Issue 2 Author(s): Jitendra Kumar Hypertension is an epidemic affecting one billion people and is the commonest risk factor for death throughout the world. World health statistics 2012 has estimated the prevalence of hypertension to be 29.2% in males and 24.8% in females. Approximately 90 percent for men and women who are non hypertensive at 55 or 65 years will develop hypertension by the age of 80–85. Hypertension is not limited to rich population and affects countries across all income groups. Out of total 58.8 million deaths worldwide...

Hypertension in the elderly: A reappraisal
Publication date: April–June 2013 Source:Clinical Queries: Nephrology, Volume 2, Issue 2 Author(s): Prerna Kapoor , Aditya Kapoor The elderly are the most rapidly growing demographic subset of world population. Not only does the prevalence of hypertension increase with age, but elderly patients also have increased prevalence of co-morbidities like coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, chronic renal impairment, stroke and cognitive decline. Managing hypertension in elderly patients represents a therapeutic challenge for physicians and till recently the overall benefits of treating these patients remained un...

Hypertension emergencies and urgencies
Publication date: January–March 2013 Source:Clinical Queries: Nephrology, Volume 2, Issue 1 Author(s): Sudeep Kumar , Tanuj Bhatia , Aditya Kapoor Where at one hand, the vast majority of hypertensive patients succumb to the complications of hypertension like atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular diseases and congestive heart failure, a subset of these have an exacerbation in this gradual course that needs acute management in the blood pressure control and plays a role in short term outcomes. These hypertensive crises are now encountered more frequently, in more diverse and aging population than in earlier times. Despite the...

Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction after Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer in the Chinese Population
Conclusions‐ There was increased risk of AMI after ADT for prostate cancer in the Chinese population.‐ Hyperlipidemia and poor ECOG performance status were also significant risk factors for developing AMI.‐ The risk of AMI should be considered while deciding on ADT, especially in patients with history of hyperlipidemia and relatively poor ECOG performance status.Prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy, myocardial infarction, Asian population

Renal "hyperfiltrators" are at elevated risk of death and chronic diseases
Conclusion: Renal "hyperfiltrators" represent individuals with autoimmune activation (involving serum creatinine, partly escaping assay), are misclassified into optimal renal function and actually are at significantly higher risk of death, HF or cardiopulmonary events. Low serum creatinine levels may represent a clue to the existence of autoimmune activation.

Systematic literature review of the risk factors, comorbidities, and consequences of hypogonadism in men
The objective of this review was to summarize the literature on the risk factors, comorbidities, and consequences of male hypogonadism, which is defined as a syndrome complex that includes biochemical confirmation of low testosterone (T) and the consistent symptoms and signs associated with low T. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library for articles published in the last 10 years on risk factors, comorbidities, and consequences of male hypogonadism. Of the 53 relevant studies identified, nine examined potential risk factors, 14 examined potential comorbidities, and 30 exami...

Renalase: its role as a cytokine, and an update on its association with type 1 diabetes and ischemic stroke
Purpose of review: Remarkable progress has been achieved over the past 2 years in understanding the cellular actions of renalase, its pathophysiology and potential therapeutic utility. Recent findings: There has been a paradigm shift in our thinking about the mechanisms underlying the cellular actions of renalase. We now understand that, independent of its enzymatic properties, renalase functions as a signaling molecule, a cytokine that interacts with a yet-to-be identified plasma membrane receptor(s) to activate protein kinase B and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. These signaling properties are critical to i...

Long term safety of sacral nerve modulation in medicare beneficiaries
ConclusionsUrological, infectious, and bowel complication occurrences were low after SNS among Medicare beneficiaries with multiple comorbidities. There were infrequent serious complications like hemorrhage and stroke postoperatively. Although SNS appears safe in this high‐risk population, a comprehensive registry will ensure continuous safety.

Therapy of anemia and iron deficiency in dialysis patients: An update.
Abstract The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-2012 on the treatment of anemia emit suggestions (which differ from recommendations) based on a scientific evidence of low level. The first rule is no harm; physicians must take into account the profile of the patient and its associated morbidities and remember on the potential risks to begin a treatment by erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) (thrombosis of arteriovenous fistula, hypertension, stroke). All correctable causes of anemia other than erythropoietin deficiency should be actively sought. It is necessary to individualize the treatment by ES...

Estimation of total glomerular number using an integrated disector method in embryonic and postnatal kidneys
Abstract Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) are a polymorphic group of clinical disorders comprising the major cause of renal failure in children. Included within CAKUT is a wide spectrum of developmental malformations ranging from renal agenesis, renal hypoplasia and renal dysplasia (maldifferentiation of renal tissue), each characterized by varying deficits in nephron number. First presented in the Brenner Hypothesis, low congenital nephron endowment is becoming recognized as an antecedent cause of adult-onset hypertension, a leading cause of coronary heart disease, stroke, and renal f...

Fabry nephropathy: a review - how can we optimize the management of Fabry nephropathy?
Fabry disease is a rare, X-linked, lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Complete or partial deficiency in this enzyme leads to intracellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and related glycosphingolipids in many cell types throughout the body, including the kidney. Progressive accumulation of Gb3 in podocytes, epithelial cells and the tubular cells of the distal tubule and loop of Henle contribute to the renal symptoms of Fabry disease, which manifest as proteinuria and reduced glomerular filtration rate leading to chronic kidney disease and progre...
