Ascariasis as a cause of obstructive jaundice in a renal transplant patient.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The prominent features of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are early development of hypertension, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular problems. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of endothelin, a vascular biomarker, in the clinical course of ADPKD, including renal and cardiovasc...
