Is anemia a predictor of outcome in heart transplant recipients?
The prevalence of anemia is relatively high in heart allograft recipients and is not adequately treated. In patients with cardiovascular disease, GFR should be estimated because renal dysfunction and subsequent anemia are important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Chronic heart failure is also more common in patients with anemia.
Dietary intervention benefits denture patients. IOD patients showed moderately greater dietary improvements compared with conventional denture patients.
