Background: CYP2C19 and CYP3A are the main enzymes involved in omeprazole metabolism, while CYP3A is the principal enzyme family for amlodipine biotransformation. Concomitant use of these drugs in patients with hypertension and acid-related disorders (ARD) might lead to drug-drug interaction.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to find if adding omeprazole for treating ARD to amlodipine long-term therapy of hypertension influenced blood pressure of CYP2C19 polymorphism carriers.
Patients And Methods: Fifty-one patients diagnosed with hypertension and ARD were enrolled in the study. Evaluation of antihypertensive therapy was performed by office (OBPM) and ambulatory (ABPM) blood pressure monitoring. Peripheral venous blood was collected for DNA extraction and real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed for CYP2C19*2 (rs4244285), CYP2C19*3 (rs4986893) and CYP2C19*17 (rs12248560) polymorphisms analysis.
Results: Of 51 patients there were 21 extensive metabolizers (EMs), 18 ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs) and 12 intermediate metabolizers (IMs). The results of OBPM showed that antihypertensive effect was significantly more pronounced in IMs compared to EMs or UMs and the average group value in the following parameters: average office systolic blood pressure (BP), dynamics of the average office systolic BP. According to dynamics of diastolic BP, the antihypertensive effect was also significantly higher in IMs than in UMs and the average group value. The results of ABPM revealed that there was a significantly more pronounced antihypertensive effect in IMs compared to all other analyzed groups according to the dynamics of both daytime systolic and 24 hr diastolic BP. The average daytime diastolic BP and its dynamics, the average 24 hr systolic BP and its dynamics were higher in IMs compared to EMs and UMs.
Conclusion: Adding omeprazole to long-term amlodipine therapy in patients with hypertension and ARD may lead to a significantly more pronounced antihypertensive effect in patients genotyped CYP2C19 IMs.

Introduction: Removing uremic toxins from the body is one of the most critical points in the maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) population. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of medium cutoff (MCO) membranes on pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx), early markers of arterial stiffness, in MHD patients over both short- and long-term periods.
Methods: Twenty MHD patients were included in this study.

Preeclampsia (PE) is the most threatening pathology of human pregnancy. Placenta from PE patients releases harmful factors that contribute to the exacerbation of the disease. Among these factors is the prokineticin1 (PROK1) and its receptor, PROKR2 that we identified as a mediators of PE.

Introduction: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common vasculitis predominantly affecting larger vessels, especially in individuals aged 70-79. Cerebrovascular ischemic events (CIE), such as stroke and transient ischemic attacks, are serious but rare complications of GCA, with a pooled prevalence of 4%. Some studies found that within 2 weeks of GCA diagnosis, 74% and 34% of patients experience transient or severe ischemic events, respectively.

Background: As a complex disease, hypertension (HTN) is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors and their interaction. The calcium signaling pathway is known to be involved in the regulation of blood pressure, and dysfunction in this pathway may contribute to the development of hypertension. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genes in the calcium signaling pathway associated with susceptibility to HTN, including PLCB1, ATP2B1, and ADRB1.

Background And Hypothesis: Daprodustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, is approved for treatment of anemia in dialysis patients with CKD in some parts of the world. This subgroup analysis examined the efficacy and safety of daprodustat versus darbepoetin alfa in patients with anemia of CKD undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods: ASCEND-D (NCT02879305) was an open-label, Phase 3 trial; patients with CKD were randomized to daprodustat daily and epoetin alfa (HD patients) or darbepoetin alfa (PD patients).
