Glycaemic control and complications in haemodialysis patients: the TURK-HEMODIAB Study Open
Background The most common cause of end-stage kidney disease is diabetes mellitus (DM). The most commonly used renal replacement therapy in Turkey and in many countries around the world is haemodialysis (HD). Glycaemia control is important…
The Relationship Between Uric Acid and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients Open
Introduction Uric acid, the end product of purine metabolism, is an antioxidant molecule. Both low and high serum uric acid levels are associated with increased mortality. The aim is to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid …

Strong correlations found between ePCWP which was calculated with TDI and the other volume markers both in pre-dialysis and post-dialysis periods. These findings can provide a significant contribution to routine evaluating of DW in hemodia…
Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms in overweight/obese chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis Open
Background Many studies were carried out to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene with obesity. However, little is known about the role of VDR gene polymorphism with ob…
Examination of the relationship between health literacy and health perceptions in hemodialysis patients Open
Introduction: Patients’ high levels of health literacy and positive perception of health are effective in their compliance with the treatment. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between health literacy and th…
Epidemiological features of primary glomerular disease in Turkey: a multicenter study by the Turkish Society of Nephrology Glomerular Diseases Working Group Open
Background The largest data on the epidemiology of primary glomerular diseases (PGDs) are obtained from the databases of countries or centers. Here, we present the extended results of the Primary Glomerular Diseases Study of the Turkish So…
Gouty Arthritis and Kidneys Open
Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism. Hyperuricemia may result from increased production or reduced excretion of uric acid. Hyperuricemia represents a risk for gouty arthritis. In this condition, monosodium urate (MSU) cryst…
