Book The Link Between Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease  Focus on Diagnosis and Therapeutics  volume II

Download or read book The Link Between Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease Focus on Diagnosis and Therapeutics volume II written by Ningning Hou and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), including obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, are associated with disturbed energy homeostasis, limited whole-body insulin sensitivity, and an increased risk of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prospective and cross-sectional studies have shown a close association between the MetS and CKD. Chronic inflammation and vascular dysfunction are two key MetS-related etiological factors for renal injury. CKD is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and aberrant autophagy at the cellular level, which is also typical of metabolic disorders. However, the relationship and mechanism between metabolic disease and chronic kidney dysfunction still call for deeper understanding. This Research Topic aims to gather both Reviews and Original Research articles focused on discovering the truth behind the phenomenon that glucose and lipid metabolic disorders and obesity have important public health implications in terms of individuals with CKD. The studies covering new insights to determine the link between MetS-related immunity response and renal dysfunction will also be considered.

Book Handbook of Life Course Health Development

Download or read book Handbook of Life Course Health Development written by Neal Halfon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. ​This handbook synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial, and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book concludes with the editors’ research agenda that proposes priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on women’s cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education, social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.

Book Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease

Download or read book Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease written by Sankar Navaneethan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies reported an association between metabolic syndrome and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of this analysis was to study the associations between metabolic syndrome and its components with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and death among those CKD. Patients with stage 3 and stage 4 CKD (n=25,868) who had data relating to metabolic syndrome were included. Cox proportional hazards models and competing risk analyses were used to study the associations between metabolic syndrome, its components and all-cause mortality and ESRD. Sixty percent of the study population (n=15,605) had metabolic syndrome. In the multivariate adjusted analysis, presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with 33% increased risk for ESRD, but not for death. Among the individual components of metabolic syndrome, impaired glucose metabolism, elevated triglycerides and hypertension were associated with increased risk for ESRD while low HDL cholesterol and impaired glucose metabolism were associated with higher risk of death.

Book Translational Research Methods in Diabetes  Obesity  and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Download or read book Translational Research Methods in Diabetes Obesity and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease written by Andrew J. Krentz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to aid the selection of the most appropriate methods for use in early phase (1 and 2) clinical studies of new drugs for diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and related cardiometabolic disorders. Clinical research methods to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new diabetes drugs, e.g. the euglycemic clamp technique, have become well-established in proof-of-mechanism studies. However, selection of the most appropriate techniques is by no means straightforward. Moreover, the application of such methods must conform to the regulatory requirements for new drugs. This book discusses the need for new pharmacotherapies for diabetes, obesity and NAFLD and the molecular targets of drugs currently in development. Emerging technologies including functional imaging, circulating biomarkers and omics are considered together with practical and ethical issues pertaining to early phase clinical trials in subjects with cardiometabolic disorders. Translational Research Methods in Diabetes, Obesity, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is of interest to biomedical scientists, pharmacologists, academics involved in metabolic research and clinicians practicing in these specialties.

Book Evolution of Cardio Metabolic Risk from Birth to Middle Age

Download or read book Evolution of Cardio Metabolic Risk from Birth to Middle Age written by Gerald S. Berenson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That precursors of adult coronary artery disease, hypertension, and type II diabetes begin in childhood have been clearly established by the Bogalusa Heart Study. This unique research program has been able to follow a biracial (black/white) population over 35 years from childhood through mid-adulthood to provide perspectives on the natural history of adult heart diseases. Not only do these observations describe trajectories of cardio-metabolic risk variables leading to these diseases but provide a rationale for the need to begin prevention beginning in childhood. The trajectories of the burden of cardio-metabolic risk variables in the context of their fetal origin and chromosome telomere dynamics provide some insight into the metabolic imprinting in utero and aging process. The observed racial contrasts on cardio-metabolic risk variables implicate various biologic pathways interacting with environment contributing to the high morbidity and mortality from related diseases in our population. To address the seriousness of the onset of cardiovascular disease in youth, approaches to primordial prevention are described focussing on childhood health education as an important aspect of Preventive Cardiology.

Download or read book Lipids and the Kidney written by William F. Keane and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, experimental and clinical studies have suggested that dyslipidemia may be an important risk factor for the progression of renal disease. This volume explores in great detail recent advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of this common complication of progressive renal injury. In the experimental investigations presented, emphasis is placed on specific disturbances of lipids that are seen in progressive renal disease including the effects of oxidatively modified lipoproteins and Lp(a) on various functions of the glomerular cells. Clinical studies have identified dyslipidemia as a risk factor for progressive renal disease in diabetes mellitus, various non-diabetic renal diseases, and most recently in patients with progressive renal allograft loss. An emerging interest in the genetics of dyslipidemia has recently arisen and this topic as it specifically relates to progressive renal disease is discussed. The final section of the book offers new insights into the mechanisms of action of antilipemic therapy used in the treatment of dyslipidemia. This volume should be read by all nephrologists caring for patients with progressive renal disease and by physicians interested in the biology of lipids, diabetes and essential hypertension.

Book Uremic Toxins

    Book Details:
  • Author : Severin Ringoir
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2012-12-06
  • ISBN : 1468454455
  • Pages : 292 pages

Download or read book Uremic Toxins written by Severin Ringoir and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book contains the Proceedings of a two day Symposium on Uremic Toxins organized at the University of Ghent in Belgium. A series of guest lectures, free communications and posters have been presented. An international audience of 163 scientists from 16 nationalities listened to and discussed extensively a spectrum of topics brought forward by colleagues and researchers who worked for many years in the field of Uremic Toxins. There is a striking contrast between all the new dialysis strategies available in the work to "clean" the uremic patients and the almost non-progression of our knowledge on uremic toxins in the past decade. In this sense the symposium was felt by all participants as a new start for the research in the biochemical field of the definition of uremia. If the present volume would stimulate new work in this field in order to define uremia, or identify the uremic toxins, the purpose of the organizers would be maximally fulfilled.

Download or read book Insulin Resistance written by Gerald M. Reaven and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Insulin Resistance: The Metabolic Syndrome X, outstanding investigators thoughtfully summarize our current understanding of how insulin resistance and its compensating hyperinsulinemia (Syndrome X) play a major role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease-the so-called diseases of Western civilization-as well as polycystic ovary disease. Under the aegis of Gerald Reaven, the discoverer of Syndrome X, the distinguished authorities writing here detail for the first time the pathophysiological consequences and the clinical syndromes, excluding Type 2 diabetes, related to insulin resistance. They also examine the genetic and lifestyle factors that contribute to the wide differences in insulin action that exist in the population at large. Each author has been encouraged to present a point of view that reflects their unique insights. The first authoritative book on the subject, Insulin Resistance: The Metabolic Syndrome X illuminates the special importance of insulin resistance as a major cause of hypertension, heart disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Its thoughtful and detailed approach will make it an essential reference for basic and clinical researchers seeking to understand these critical phenomena.
