Publication Open Access Comparative Evaluation of Orthostatic Hypotension in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy.(2021-07-20T00:00:00Z) Aytaş, Gamze; Elçioğlu, Ömer C; Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; Gürsu, Meltem; Artan, A Serra; Yabacı, Ayşegül; Soysal, PINAR; Bilgi, Kadir; Özçelik, Semra; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZA; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; GÜRSU, MELTEM; YABACI TAK, AYŞEGÜL; SOYSAL, PINAR; ÖZÇELİK, SEMRAIntroduction: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) affects 5-20% of the population. Our study investigates the presence of OH in diabetic nephropathy (DNP) patients and the factors affecting OH in comparison with nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (NDCKD) patients. Method: Patients presented to the nephrology clinic, and those who consented were included in the study. DNP was defined by kidney biopsy and/or clinical criteria. NDCKD patients of the same sex, age, and eGFR were matched to DNP patients. Demographic parameters and medications were obtained from the records. OH was determined by Mayo clinic criteria. The same researcher used an electronic device to measure blood pressure (BP). All samples were taken and analyzed the same day for biochemical and hematologic parameters and albuminuria. Results: 112 (51 F, 61 M, mean age: 62.56 ± 9.35 years) DNP and 94 (40 F, 54 M, mean age: 62.23 ± 10.08 years) NDCKD patients were included. There was no significant difference between DNP and NDCKD groups in terms of OH prevalence (70.5 vs. 61.7%, p = 0.181). Male patients had significantly higher OH prevalence than female patients (74.7 vs. 60.0%, p = 0.026). There was no significant difference in change in systolic BP between the groups (24.00 [10.00-32.00] mm Hg vs. 24.00 [13.75-30.25] mm Hg, p = 0.797), but the change in diastolic BP was significantly higher in the DNP group (8.00 [2.00-13.00] mm Hg vs. 6.00 [2.00-9.00] mm Hg, p = 0.025). In the DNP group, patients with OH had significantly higher uric acid levels than those without OH (7.18 ± 1.55 vs. 6.36 ± 1.65 mg/dL, p = 0.017). And, 73.7% of patients on calcium channel blockers developed OH (p = 0.015), and OH developed in 80.6% of 36 patients on alpha-blockers (p = 0.049). Conclusion: OH prevalence is very high in CKD, and etiology of CKD does not have a statistically significant effect on the frequency of OH, despite a difference that could be meaningful clinically. Therefore, patients with CKD are checked for OH, with or without concurrent diabetes mellitus. Evaluation of postural BP changes should be a part of nephrology practice.Publication Metadata only Otozomal Dominant Polikistik Böbrek Hastalığında Total Oksidan/Antioksidan Seviyelerin Böbrek Fonksiyonlarıyla İlişkisi(2021-10-13T00:00:00Z) Aris, Özlem; Büyükaydın, Banu; Artan, Ayşe Serra; Mirioğlu, Şafak; Gürsu, Meltem; Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; Elçioğlu, Ömer Celal; MİRİOĞLU, ŞAFAK; GÜRSU, MELTEM; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZA; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELALPublication Metadata only Otozomal Dominant Polikistik Böbrek Hastalarında Üriner Sistem Taşı Oluşumuna Eğilim Oluşturan Metabolik Faktörler(2021-10-13T00:00:00Z) Chasan, Onour; Artan, Ayşe Serra; Gürsu, Meltem; Mirioğlu, Şafak; Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; Elçioğlu, Ömer Celal; CHASAN, ONOUR; GÜRSU, MELTEM; MİRİOĞLU, ŞAFAK; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZA; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELALPublication Metadata only Effects of keto-analogs in the pathologic findings of diabetic nephropatic rats(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; Çoban, Ganime; Gürsu, Meltem; Elçioğlu, Ömer Celal; Deligöz Bilkdacı, Yelda; ÇOBAN, GANİME; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELALPublication Metadata only Kronik Böbrek Hastasında Covid-19 Enfeksiyonu Sonrası Gelişen Nefrotik Sendrom: Olgu Sunumu(2021-10-13T00:00:00Z) Abdulhayoğlu, Necat İrem; Gürsu, Meltem; Elçioğlu, Ömer Celal; Mirioğlu, Şafak; Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; ABDULHAYOĞLU, NECAT İREM; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; MİRİOĞLU, ŞAFAKPublication Open Access COVİD-19 infection in a membranous nephropathy patient treated with rituximab.(2020-09-04T00:00:00Z) Elcioglu, Omer Celal; Artan, Ayse Serra; Mirioglu, Safak; Gursu, Meltem; Durdu, Bulent; Koc, Meliha Meric; Okyaltirik, Fatmanur; Gultekin, Mehmet Ali; Kazancioglu, Rümeyza; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; MİRİOĞLU, ŞAFAK; GÜRSU, MELTEM; DURDU, BÜLENT; MERİÇ KOÇ, MELİHA; OKYALTIRIK, FATMANUR; GÜLTEKİN, MEHMET ALİ; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAWhile COVID-19 pandemic continues to afect our country and most countries in the world, we have to make some changes both in our social life and our approach to healthcare. We have to struggle with the pandemic on one hand and also try to follow up and treat our patients with chronic diseases in the most appropriate way. In this period, one of our group of patients who are challenging us for follow-up and treatment are those who should start or continue to use immunosuppressive therapy. In order to contribute to the accumulation of knowledge in this area, we wanted to report a patient who was followed up with the diagnosis of COVID-19 and had been administered rituximab very recently due to a nephrotic syndrome caused by membranous nephropathy.Publication Metadata only Renal Biopsy in Patients with Diabetes: Indications, Results, and Clinical Predictors of Diabetic Kidney Disease(2021-02-01T00:00:00Z) Artan, Ayşe Serra; Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; Elçioğlu, Ömer Celal; Çoban, Ganime; Gürsu, Meltem; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ÇOBAN, GANİME; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAPublication Metadata only COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında periton diyalizi hastalarında teletıp kullanımı(2020-10-15T00:00:00Z) Gürsu, Meltem; Artan, Ayşe Serra; Elçioğlu, Ömer Celal; Mirioğlu, Şafak; Kazancıoğlu, Rümeyza; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; MİRİOĞLU, ŞAFAK; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAPublication Metadata only Effects of Keto-Analogs in the Pathologic Findings of Diabetic Nephropathic Rats(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) Bildaci, Yelda Deligoz; ÇOBAN, Ganime; Bulut, Huri; GÜRSU, Meltem; ELÇİOĞLU, Ömer Celal; KAZANCIOĞLU, Rümeyza; BULUT, HURI; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAObjective: Some studies have shown that keto amino acids (KA) reduce proteinuria and improve renal function as well as nutritional status in patients with diabetic nephropathy. We aimed to compare the pathologic findings of kidneys of rats that were given protein-restricted diets enriched with KA with those of rats given protein-restricted diet alone.Publication Open Access Correlation of Body Composition Analysis with Anthropometric Measurements in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) ARTAN, AYŞE SERRA; GÜRSU, Meltem; ELÇİOĞLU, Ömer Celal; YABACI TAK, AYŞEGÜL; KAZANCIOĞLU, Rümeyza; ARTAN, AYŞE SERRA; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ELÇİOĞLU, ÖMER CELAL; YABACI TAK, AYŞEGÜL; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAObjective: This study investigates correlations between different methods for diagnosis of protein energy malnutrition (PEM) in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: Twenty four patients were included. Patients with amputations, infections, peritonitis, malignancies and PD duration less than three months were excluded. Physical examination findings, laboratory results and anthropometric measurements were recorded. Body composition analysis was performed with multi-frequency bioimpedance analyzer. Dialysis malnutrition score (DMS) was calculated. The correlations of different parameters were searched. Results: Eleven patients were female and 13 patients were male. Mean age was 58.9±12.6 years. Median dialysis duration was 25 (interquartile range: 14) months. Protein percentage was negatively correlated with fat percentage (r=-0.785; p<0.001), triceps skinfold thickness (SFT) (r=-0.641; p<0.001), biceps SFT (r=-0.685; p<0.001), body mass index (BMI) (r=-0.867; p<0.001), mid-arm circumference (r=-0.680; p=0.001). Fat percentage was positively correlated with BMI (r=0.780; p<0.001), biceps SFT (r=0.817; p<0.001), triceps SFT (r=0.901; p<0.001) and mid-arm circumference (r=0.558; p=0.005) Albumin was negatively correlated with DMS (r= -0.439; p=0.032). DMS and albumin were not correlated with bioimpedance and anthropometry Conclusion: Albumin is a marker of PEM in PD patients. Malnutrition scores may be used as adjunct methods. Increase in fat mass and percentage may influence the interpretation of anthropometric measurements.
