The in vitro measurement of whole-blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, and erythrocyte aggregability is easy to perform, but they only allow a partial insight into the complexity of blood flow… (More)
BACKGROUND
Urinary enzymes, including the brush border enzyme alanine aminopeptidase (AAP), are reliable biomarkers of nephrotoxicity and represent early indicators of tubular damage. The aim of the… (More)
It has been shown that serum total homocysteine (HC) is a risk factor for vascular disease which characterizes endothelial damage. The incidence of vascular disease is increased in continuous… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To study changes in the peritoneal microcirculation during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) by studying change in the microcirculation of the fingernails of CAPD patients.… (More)
Viscometry is an often applied method in clinical chemistry. A variety of studies demonstrate an association of parameters related to blood viscosity with human pathology of varying origin. Whole… (More)
