Fetuin-A Thr256Ser gene polymorphism as a mortality predictor in patients with chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis in Medan, Indonesia
Aim To investigate an impact of Fetuin-A Thr256Ser gene polymorphism on the mortality rate of chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis patients in Indonesia. MethodsThis is an analytic-longitudinal observational study using survival analysis with nine-month follow up on 106 maintenance haemodialysis patients. The PCR-RFLP is used to dete...

Is there an association between alpha 2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG) gene Thr256Ser polymorphisms with aortic calcification in regular hemodialysis patients in Medan, Indonesia
Aim Alpha2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG), a circulating plasma protein, plays an essential role in bone and vascular mineralization. The impact of AHSG gene polymorphisms on aortic calcification in haemodialysis patients was inconsistent. We performed this study to clarify precise association among AHSG gene Thr256Ser single-nucleotide polymo...
