Background and aim: We carried out a prospective 1-year study to examine the association of sudomotor dysfunction with mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.Materials and methods: 97 patients from dialysis unit (28 with diabetic nephropathy (DN); 37 with nephroangiosclerosis, (NA), 18 with glomerulonephritis (GN), 14 with other conditions (O)); 32 with type 2 DM and creatinine clearance (CrCl) 3050 ml/min; and 24 transplanted patients w...

Background: Several susceptibility genes have been found to be associated with development of pheochromocytoma (PHEO): RET, VHL, SDHB and SDHD. We investigate the frequency of germ-line mutations in SDHB and VHL genes in patients with apparently sporadic PHEO.Material and methods: Fifty patients (38 women, mean age 42) with apparently sporadic adrenal and extra-adrenal PHEO were screened. DNA was extracted from whole blood and from paraffin embedded tumo...
