The development of glomerular hyperfiltration precede the diagnosis of diabetes, but most study had undertaken with diabetes or obesity patients. In this study, we determine the association between glomerular hyperfiltration and other metabolic risk factors which associated diabetes in represent Korean population without chronic kidney disease. We analyzed 19 244 subjects with a estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) above 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and urine albumin...

Introduction: Nonfasting duration is much longer than fasting time in a day. Although there is a few reports on the importance of postprandial triacylglycerol (TG) on cardiovascular outcome, TG variation after meal is one of main obstacle of clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to determine effects of a 6-week period of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on fasting and postprandial TG and metabolic parameters in response to standard test meals.Me...

Introduction: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is most common cause of painful thyroiditis. Although prednisolone at 40 mg/d has been preferred as initial dose for moderate to severe SAT, there have also been other recommendations as 25–60 mg/day in many reports. We retrospectively assessed the effect of steroid dose on the SAT.Methods: We examined 132 patients with SAT who visited our endocrinology clinic at least three times between January 2005 and Dec...
