Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that direct acting antiviral agents (DAAs) can lead to sustained virologic response (SVR) in chronic HCV patients, potentially improving insulin resistance (IR) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) symptoms.
- A study involving 240 chronic HCV patients showed significant improvements in blood glucose levels and IR scores three months after DAA treatment, with many patients experiencing better diabetes control.
- The findings suggest that eliminating HCV not only helps in viral clearance but also benefits metabolic health, indicating a need for further exploration of the relationship between HCV and diabetes management.
Renalase gene polymorphism and epinephrine level in chronic kidney disease.
Appl Biochem Biotechnol
February 2015
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem. Patients with end-stage renal disease have a significant renalase deficiency, which could be one of the mechanisms explaining high prevalence of hypertension in these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association of renalase gene (rs2296545) polymorphism with normotensive and hypertensive CKD in sampled Egyptian patients and to determine the effect of such polymorphism on epinephrine level.
