    • Blood Pressure Treatment in Kidney Transplant Recipients - Can We Improve? 

      Onsøien, Mari Olsen; Midtvedt, Karsten; Reisæter, Anna Varberg; Aasarød, Knut; Waldum-Grevbo, Bård; Vikse, Bjørn Egil; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Åsberg, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-25)
      <i>Background</i> - Hypertension in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients is common, affecting both patient and graft survival. Annual data from the Norwegian Renal Registry reveal that <50% of adult (>18 y) KTx recipients reach target blood pressure (BP) ≤130/80 mm Hg. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of failure to achieve BP control.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - In conjunction ...

    • Glomerular abundance of complement proteins characterized by proteomic analysis of laser-captured microdissected glomeruli associates with progressive disease in IgA nephropathy 

      Paunas, Theodora Ioana Flavia; Finne, Kenneth; Leh, Sabine; Marti, Hans-Peter; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Berven, Frode; Vikse, Bjørn Egil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-14)
      Background: The clinical course of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is variable and complement activation may predict prognosis. The present study investigated whether glomerular abundance of complement proteins associates with progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients for whom prognosis could not be predicted based on clinical variables. <br> <br> Methods: Based on data from the Norwegian ...

    • Renal Functional Response-Association With Birth Weight and Kidney Volume 

      Lillås, Bjørn Steinar Demma; Tøndel, Camilla; Melsom, Toralf; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Marti, Hans Peter; Vikse, Bjørn Egil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-20)
      <b><p>Introduction:</b> Renal functional response (RFR) is the acute increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after a protein load. Low RFR is a marker of single nephron hyperfiltration. Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with reduced number of nephrons, lower kidney function, and smaller kidneys in adults. In the present study, we investigate the associations among LBW, kidney volume, and ...
