Does oS 28-02 RENAL DENERVATION alter ADIPOKINE LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH RESISTANT HYPERTENSION?
Our findings confirm previous reports of the effects of RDN on the reduction of BP. In addition, this is the first study to demonstrate that RDN is associated with potentially beneficial effects on the adipokine profile. Increased adiponectin and reduced NEFA production may contribute to BP reduction via metabolic pathways.
A more detailed grid-based area classification is better for showing spatial differences in the care of type 2 diabetes patients. Inequalities exist but it would be misleading to state that the differences are simply due to urban or rural location or due to distance. From a planning point of view findings suggest that detailed geo-coded patient information could be utilized more in resourcing and targeting the health care services to find the area-level needs of care and to improve the cost-efficient allocation of resources.
