Are variations in the vitamin D-binding protein ( DBP ) gene related to lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in healthy girls : a cross-sectional study?
The GC gene genotype may be related to the susceptibility to low 25(OH)D levels in female children and adolescents.
Hand ischaemia occurring early after routine access surgery is usually related to grafts and not to autogenous access construction. If patients have several risk factors for acute hand ischaemia (diabetes), nephrologists and vascular surgeons may choose an autogenous AVA. A disadvantage of an autogenous access is its association with chronic hand ischaemia, particularly if constructed with a brachial artery.
