    Background. There are no studies investigating the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). Aim. The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether eNOS gene polymorphisms (G894T and T-786C) play a role in the development of type-2 HRS. Methods. This study was carried out in a group of 92 patients with cirrhosis (44 patients with type-2 HRS and 48 without HRS) and 50 healthy controls. Polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and melting curve analysis. Results. We did not find any significant difference in allele and genotype distributions of the eNOS -T-786C polymorphism among the groups (p = 0.440). However, the frequency of GT (40.9%) and TT (13.6%) genotypes and mutant allele T (34.1%) for the eNOS G894T polymorphism were significantly higher (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, resp.) in the HRS group than in both the stable cirrhosis (14.6%, 4.2%, and 11.5%, resp.) and the control (22.0%, 2.0%, and 13.0%, resp.) groups. Conclusion. The occurrence of mutant genotypes (GT/TT) and mutant allele T in eNOS -G894T polymorphisms should be considered as a potential risk factor in cirrhotic patients with HRS.

    NGAL and NT-proBNP levels in diabetic patients with macroproteinuria
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Taskapan, Hulya; Taskapan, Mehmet Cagatay; Orman, Ibrahim; Ulutas, Ozkan; Yigit, Ali; Ozyalin, Fatma; Yologlu, Saim
    Background: In patients with heart failure plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are correlated to urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels. We prospectively evaluated the relationship among glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), urine and serum NGAL and NT-proBNP levels in 20 type II diabetic patients with macroalbuminuria at 4-month intervals. Results: Compared with 20 age, gender-matched healthy controls, diabetic patients had higher urine and serum NGAL, serum NT-proBNP and lower eGFR. The eGFR of the patients at the baseline, the 4th and the 8th month were 29.6 +/- 12.0, 27.8 +/- 13.7 and 22.9 +/- 10.4 mL/min/1.73m(2), respectively. No significant change in urine NGAL levels was detected (p > 0.05), whereas there were significant increases in NT-proBNP, serum NGAL and urine ACR and significant decrease in eGFR as the study progressed (p < 0.05). Both the baseline and the 4th month urine ACR were positively correlated to NT-proBNP levels measured at the same periods (r: 0.451; p: 0.046; r: 0.489; p: 0.029 respectively). In all measurements, urine ACR was negatively correlated to serum albumin levels measured at the same periods (r: -0.792; p: 0.000; r: -0.716; p: 0.000; r: -0.531; p: 0.016 respectively). None of eGFR measurements was correlated with NT-proBNP (p > 0.05). Neither serum NGAL nor urinary NGAL levels are associated with NT-proBNP (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings show an association between NT-proBNP and proteinuria in type II diabetic patients with macroalbuminuria but not with serum and urine NGAL.

    An Unexpected Complication of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Trephine Biopsy: Arteriovenous Fistula
    (Karger, 2014) Berber, Ilhami; Erkurt, Mehmet Ali; Kuku, Irfan; Kaya, Emin; Kutlu, Ramazan; Koroglu, Mustafa; Yigit, Ali
    Objective: To report a case of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) following bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 76-year-old man was diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia. Pain and hematoma were detected in his left leg and hip 4 days after bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy. A pelvic arteriography was performed, and a diagnosis of AVF was made. Conclusion: This case shows that clinicians should be aware of AVF, especially in cases with refractory bleeding after bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy despite normal blood coagulation parameters.
