Low serum levels of vitamin D are associated with progression of subclinical atherosclerotic vascular disease in peritoneal dialysis patients: a prospective, multicenter study
(Karger, 2017-02-25)[Abstract] Background: The prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis and the main predictors of progression of this condition in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) have been insufficiently investigated. Objectives ... -
Oral glucose-stimulated growth hormone (GH) test in adult GH deficiency patients and controls: potential utility of a novel test
(Elsevier para European Federation of Internal Medicine, 2017-06-09)[Abstract] Context. The diagnosis of adult GH deficiency requires confirmation with a GH stimulation test. Oral glucose (OG) administration affects GH secretion, initially decreasing and subsequently stimulating GH ... -
Peritoneal water transport characteristics of diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a longitudinal study
(Karger, 2017-06-21)[Abstract] Background: Volume overload is frequent in diabetics undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and may play a significant role in the excess mortality observed in these patients. The characteristics of peritoneal ... -
