Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) is an effective method for treating iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by dissolving and removing clots, especially when anticoagulation alone isn't sufficient.
- However, the use of devices like AngioJet can lead to complications such as intravascular hemolysis and hemoglobinuria, increasing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI).
- Clinicians must be vigilant about these potential risks, provide clear information to patients about the possibility of AKI, and ensure timely referrals to nephrologists if severe kidney issues arise.
Aim: We investigated whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with a decline in cognitive function in a cohort of middle-aged and elderly individuals without known cognitive dysfunction diseases in Qatar.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on randomly selected participants aged 40-80 years from the Qatar Biobank, with data on cognitive tests and MetS components. Participants with a history of dementia, stroke, or mental disorders were excluded.
