hypertriglyceridemia/アルブミン

Aims/Introduction: Serum glycated albumin (GA) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are influenced by plasma glucose levels, and are used for monitoring chronic glycemic control in diabetic patients. Both glycated proteins are known to be influenced by various factors other than plasma glucose levels. In

BACKGROUND Abnormalities in lipid metabolism and transport are hallmarks in analbuminemic Nagase rats (NAR) and humans. Triglyceridemia is nearly 3- to 5-fold higher in female NAR than in control Sprague-Dawley rats (SDR). Also, NAR present with a severe plasma free fatty acid (FFA) deficit. There

BACKGROUND Chylomicronemia syndrome is a metabolic condition characterized by severe fasting hypertrigliceridemia (≥ 1000 mg/dL) and other clinical features including chronic abdominal pain and recurrent acute pancreatitis. In patients with acute or recurrent pancreatitis, plasma exchange (PEx) is

BACKGROUND A slight increase in albuminuria (urinary albumin excretion [UAE] ≥30 mg/d) is associated with hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia (high triglyceride [TG] and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] concentrations), and hyperuricemia. Although antihypertensive

BACKGROUND Hypertriglyceridemia (hTG) is a risk factor for progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, it remains unknown whether the adipocytokine complement component 3 (C3) is involved in the association between hTG and CKD. METHODS The study included 138 patients (54 % male) with

The development of new and specific treatment options for kidney disease in general and glomerular diseases in specific has lagged behind other fields like heart disease and cancer. As a result, nephrologists have had to test and adapt therapeutics developed for other indications to treat glomerular

OBJECTIVE A positive association between serum albumin levels and metabolic syndrome has been reported in observation studies, but it has not been established in the Korean population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between serum albumin levels and the presence of

This study was undertaken to investigate diverse risk factors affecting the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) by observing the changes of 24 h urinary albumin excretion (24 h UAE) in 90 abdominally obese, normal weight, type 2 diabetic patients with normo- or micro-albuminuria. Patients were

OBJECTIVE Hepatic dysfunction, due to parenteral nutrition, may become severe and lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure, especially in newborns and infants. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the exclusive use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and changes in the hepatic profile,

The effects of nonglycated bovine serum albumin (BSA) and advanced glycosylation end products of BSA (AGE-BSA) on vascular responses of control and metabolic syndrome (MS) rats characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance were studied. Albumin and in

BACKGROUND Although hypercholesterolemia is a well-established risk factor for coronary heart disease, evidence suggests that increased triglyceride (TG) concentrations are also an independent risk factor. TG concentrations >150mg/dl are observed nearly twice as often in subjects with

The etiology of hypertriglyceridemia associated with sepsis remains unclear, but we will attempt to elucidate its character by studying the hepatic production of apolipoproteins B and E. Male Lewis rats (260-330 g) were assigned to two groups, control (n = 5) and septic (n = 5). The septic group was

BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate whether withdrawal of a soy oil-based lipid emulsion from the parenteral nutrition (PN) regimen in humans is associated with improved triglyceride and liver enzyme concentrations. METHODS In this retrospective study, patients with hypertriglyceridemia (>4.50

We report dramatic improvement in clinical and laboratory parameters after intensive plasma exchange therapy in a 15-yr-old girl with acquired generalized lipoatrophy and refractory hypertriglyceridemia. One hundred and twenty-five procedures were performed over 720 d. Two or three plasma volumes

High plasma level of triglycerides (TGs) is a common feature in atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, alcoholism, stress, and infection. Since mitochondria have been implicated in cell death under a variety of metabolic disorders, we examined liver mitochondrial functions in hypertriglyceridemic
