Does microalbuminuria in diabetic patients affect the postoperative course after coronary artery bypass surgery?
Our findings suggest that postoperative period may be more problematic in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, but microalbuminuria does not seem to have a major effect on the postoperative course in patients undergoing CABG.
In comparison with whites, ASCA in AAs has a similar sensitivity but a lower specificity for CD. ASCA is associated with ileal involvement, complicated behavior, and surgery in AAs with CD. NOD2 is a risk gene for AA CD, although mutation frequency and population attributable risk are much lower than in whites.
