Oxidative stress is prevalent in dialysis patients and has been implicated the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease anemia. Vitamin E a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays central role reducing lipid peroxidation inhibiting generation reactive oxygen species. The aim this cross-over randomized study was to compare effects vitamin E-coated polysulfone (Vit PS) membrane non-vitamin (PS) on inflammatory markers resistance erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs).After 1-month run-in period...
Background. HFR [double chamber haemodiafiltration (HDF) with reinfusion of regenerated ultrafiltrate] is a novel dialytic method which combines the processes diffusion, convection and adsorbance. In this technique an adsorbent cartridge resin charcoal may regenerate ultrafiltrate suggesting its use as endogenous substitution fluid. The aim multicentre randomized cross-over study was to compare online HDF in terms inflammatory nutritional parameters. Methods. After 1 month run-in period...
<i>Background:</i> Cohort studies have demonstrated an association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) all-cause cardiovascular mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) appears to be not only the plasma expression of acute-phase response but also a direct pathogenetic mediator atherosclerotic process. <i>Methods:</i> To evaluate role IL-8 predicting outcome, 76 chronic dialytic patients were prospectively...
We assessed some major determinants of blood pressure (BP) in young adulthood to plan a lifestyle changes policy METHODS: A cross sectional survey was held, involving 2373 high school people (age 18-21), measuring BP, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WCirc), fat free (FFM); alcohol and smoking habits were evaluated by questionnaire. In subset this population (n = 60) uric acid (UA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) also evaluated.Smoking not correlated systolic (SBP)...
Background: Mixed diffusive-convective dialysis therapies offer greater removal capabilities than conventional dialysis. The aim of this study was to compare two different on-line, post-dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) treatments with regard achieved convective volume and middle-molecule efficiency: standard control (sOL-HDF) automated the transmembrane pressure (TMP) (UC-HDF). Methods: We enrolled 30 ESRD patients (55.9 ± 14.0 years, 20/10 M/F) in a randomized, prospective, crossover study....
A high Incidence of adynamic bone disease not related to aluminum Intoxication has been reported In continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Since reduced parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion may predispose bone, we Investigated whether gland sensitivity be depressed CAPD in comparison with hemodialysis (HD). Thus determined parathyraid function by the evaluation PTH-ionized calcium (ICa) relationship, which was obtained Inducing hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia 19 18 HD patients...
