Abstract

Failure of arteriovenous access is mostly due to graft thrombosis and multifactorial, with medical and surgical etiologies. Apoptosis of blood cells, such as macrophages, lymphocytes and eosinophils, may play an important role in thrombus formation. We also investigated caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in thrombi. We recorded clinical parameters in 43 consecutive patients with vascular access failure (13 men, 30 women; mean age+/-SD, 64.6+/-14.2 years) who underwent surgical thrombectomy. Major presentations included absent (92%) and/or near near-absent (16%) flow through the access during hemodialysis. Cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension (70%), hyperlipidemia (47%), diabetes mellitus (47%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (12%), heart failure (12%), coronary artery disease (21%), and stroke (16%). Laboratory data included hemoglobin level of 100+/-17 g/L, total white blood cell count of 7.65+/-2.14 x 10(9)/L, and platelet count of 205.6+/-57.9 1000/ìL. Abnormal biochemistry data included elevated blood urea nitrogen level of 63.5+/-24.4 mg/dL and creatinine level of 8.6+/-4.0 mg/dL (normal <1.4 mg/dL). Thrombi were characterized by apoptosis (32%) in a caspase-dependent pathway in all types of leukocytes. Thrombi ...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
