Dilemma: Correlation Between Serum Level of Hepcidin and IL-6 in Anemic Myeloma Patients.

Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
INTRODUCTION: Anemia occurs in 60% to 80 % of patients with newly diagnosed myeloma multiplex (MM). The cause of anemia in MM is probably multi factorial and involved among the others hepcidin and some cytokines, especially interleukine-6. Anemia in ...

Continuous Hemodiafiltration with an AN69ST Hemofilter (AN69ST-CHDF) as FGF-23-Lowering Therapy.

Clinical laboratory
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is elevated not only in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but also in acute illnesses such as acute kidney injury, septic shock, and acute heart failure. FGF-23 would be not ...

Threshold of Dopamine D2/3 Receptor Occupancy for Hyperprolactinemia in Older Patients With Schizophrenia.
