Monitoring cardiovascular disease risk in children with cystic fibrosis using arterial stiffness: A new perspective Open
This is the first study to evaluate the use of PWV and AIx in the follow-up of children with CF and showed that arterial stiffness measured with AIx increased at follow-up. The use of markers of arterial stiffness in CF from childhood onwa…
Interleukin-8 is increased in chronic kidney disease in children, but not related to cardiovascular disease Open
Introduction: In this study, we aimed to detect the cytokine that is involved in the early stage of chronic kidney disease and associated with cardiovascular disease. Methods: We included 50 patients who were diagnosed with predialytic chr…

The Pediatric Case of a Recently Defined Syndrome: Shrunken Pore Syndrome Open
INTRODUCTION: Creatinine was started to be used as a marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 1920’s. Later in the 1990s, cystatin C was shown to be superior to creatinine in assessing GFR. In some patients, glomerular filtration of c…
Prospective evaluation of vascular changes in acute respiratory infections in children with cystic fibrosis Open
The decrease of arterial stiffness (Aix) with acute exacerbation treatment in children with CF has been demonstrated. This result shows that systemic inflammation in CF may cause an increase in arterial stiffness and recurrent exacerbation…

Are Urodynamic Studies Really Necessary in Voiding Dysfunction in Children? Open
Aim:Urodynamic examination is considered the most reliable, but also a quite invasive tool for the diagnosis of voiding dysfunctions in children. In this study, we evaluated the role of invasive urodynamics in the diagnosis of lower urinar…
Comparing different estimated glomerular filtration rate equations in assessing glomerular function in children based on creatinine and cystatin C Open
Background Glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) is the best marker used to assess renal function. Estimated GFR ( eGFR ) equations have been developed, and the ideal formula is still under discussion. We wanted to find the most practical and…
Association of brucellosis with renal tubular and glomerular damage in children in Turkey Open
Brucellosis is a multisystem disease that may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Until now, no studies have been performed on renal tubular disorders in patients with brucellosis. The present study aims to investigat…
Relationship of insulin resistance to vitamin d status in children with nondiabetic chronic kidney disease Open
Insulin Resistance is common in patients with mild-to-moderate stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), even when the glomerular filtration rate is within the normal range. This study aimed to investigate the association of IR and 25-hydroxyvit…
