Association between central aortic pulsatility and glomerular filtration rate in patients with coronary artery disease.

Anatolian journal of cardiology Nov 30, 2015
OBJECTIVE: Aortic stiffness and chronic kidney disease share common risk factors. Increased aortic stiffness is a predictor of lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at lower levels of renal functions. We aimed to investigate the associati...

Relationship between vitamin D status and vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.) Nov 17, 2015
We aimed to investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. It was hypothesized that lower 25(OH)D would be associated with increased microvascular c...
