Night-time blood pressure and pulse wave velocity in dialysis patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The current (2012) histological classification of immunoglobulin A nephropathy was established using a case-control study of 287 patients. However, the risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has not been validated for the previous (2002) classification. This study aimed to determine whether th...

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the tubular cells of patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a reduced intracellular Ca(2+) level accelerates cell proliferation, resulting in cyst formation. Thus, whether calcium channel blockers (CCB) are useful for the treatment of hypertension in patients with PKD is questionable. METHODS:Thi...
