- - Cardiovascular diseases are common in rheumatoid arthritis patients, with factors like epicardial fat thickness and specific serum biomarker levels (betatrophin, chemerin, and adropin) potentially linked to these conditions.
- - The study involved 80 RA patients and 80 healthy controls, measuring serum biomarker levels and epicardial fat thickness through echocardiography while excluding individuals with other health complications.
- - Results showed that RA patients had higher epicardial fat thickness and chemerin levels, along with lower adropin levels, suggesting a significant relationship between RA and cardiovascular involvement.
Introduction: We aimed to investigate whether a low intrarenal pressure provided by ureteral access sheath (UAS) use had a positive effect on the prevention of acute kidney injury through the evaluation of the myo-inositol oxygenase (MIOX).
