After a successful kidney transplant, the nutrition of patients is improved and they gain weight. Increased appetite due to medication, age of transplant, gender, race, pre-transplant obesity story and dialysis type increase the obesity frequency. We aimed to evaluate the effect of gender on nutrition and exercise habits on transplant recipients.Methods: Stable patients were divided into two groups according to gender: 29 males and 33 females. Their nutr...

Obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in recipients increase after kidney transplantation due to immunosuppressive drugs, non-traditional risk factors related to immunosuppressive drugs or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness (AS) and vascular calcification are common complications contributed to the development of CVD in patients with CKD. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between AS and obesity in transplant reci...

Introduction: In obesity, MPV is found higher compared to healthy controls. It was found that the level of NLR was predictive of the development of type 2 diabetes with high sensitivity and specificity in morbid obese patients. PLR is a new biological indicator that can assess the presence and severity of inflammation. However, in obese patients PLR was not found to associate with degree of of obesity or ratio of weight loss. Regarding the platelet count (PC) in obesity, confl...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare histiocytic disorder most commonly characterized by osteolytic bone lesions. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement observed at 6% and Diabetes insipidus (DI) one of the important signs of CNS involvement.A 40-years-old woman presented with polyuria, polydipsia and headache. Water deprivation test was compatible with DI. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows 4×4 mm focal thickening at the distal infun...

Introduction: Serum IGF1 levels declined particularly with hyperglycemia in diabetic patients and lower IGF1 levels has been suggested to be associated with the development of diabetes. IGF1 levels appear to increase with the improvement in glycemic control in diabetic patients but do not reach normal levels. Also, it affected by gender; in this study we aimed to investigate effects of gender on IGF1 changes with basal insulin analogs.Methods: The serum ...
