♦Extending technique survival on peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains a major challenge in optimizing outcomes for PD patients while increasing utilization. The primary objective of the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS) is to identify modifiable practices associated with improvements patient survival. In collaboration International Society (ISPD), PDOPPS seeks standardize PD-related data definitions provide forum effective international collaborative clinical...
The purpose of this study was to assess the reasons for treatment modality selection between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in 150 consecutive patients a single center.This is retrospective using chart review as data collection method.A tertiary care university teaching hospital.One hundred fifty starting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) therapy at Royal Victoria Hospital Montreal were assessed. Their 6 weeks after recorded their modality. Patients transplanted or who died...

Patients experience various symptoms during hemodialysis. We aimed to assess the frequency and severity of hemodialysis whether intradialytic are associated with recovery time postdialysis.An online questionnaire was sent 10,000 patients in a National Kidney Foundation database.Adult receiving in-center 3 times weekly for or more months.Online questionnaire.Tabulation events as percent respondents, construction total symptom score, followed by rank correlation analysis characteristics...
Introduction Home hemodialysis has not been widely adopted despite superior outcomes relative to conventional in-center hemodialysis. Patients receiving home experience high rates of technique failure owing machine complexity, training burden, and the inability master treatments independently. Methods We conducted human factors testing on 15 health care professionals (HCPs) patients upon release defined program Tablo™ Hemodialysis System. Each participant completed one session in a simulated...
Abstract Introduction: Home hemodialysis remains underutilized despite observational data indicating more favorable outcomes with home compared in‐center hemodialysis. The Tablo Hemodialysis system is designed to be easy learn and use facilitate adoption of objective the current investigational device exemption (IDE) study was evaluate safety efficacy managed by health care professionals in‐home patients and/or caregivers. Methods: A prospective, multicenter, open‐label, crossover trial...
Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remain high in ESRD patients. Lipid abnormalities CAPD may be more important than hemodialysis. Vessel calcification have a role atherosclerotic heart disease, but this is only an inference from several clinical observations, it remains to defined clearly as risk factor. Left ventricular hypertrophy frequent patient population, associated with specific patterns increased of death. Erythropoietin treatment anemia tight blood pressure controls proved help...
Four patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for uremia developed acute pancreatitis (AP) over a 10-month period. No patient in the comparatively large hemodialysis population AP past 10 years. Diagnosis of was confirmed by temporal change serum amylase levels and/or radiographic imaging. Peritonitis excluded normal fluid WBC counts and bacterial culture. Two tea-colored after onset disease. required discontinuation (PD) to manage, their symptoms. Total corrected...
Thirty-six patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) for more than ten years in six North American centers were analyzed retrospectively. In the centers, percentage of surviving varied between 0.8% and 7.3%. The study group included 27 females 9 males aged 38.6 +/- 14.2 [mean standard deviation (SD)] at start treatment. Of 36 patients, 28 Caucasian. most common cause end-stage renal disease (ESRD), present 12 was chronic glomerulonephritis. Only 4 had diabetes. At beginning study, 19 hypertension...
Anatomic dead space was measured in 19 healthy adults, 27 children, 22 asthmatic and 11 children with cystic fibrosis. varied as the 2.92 power of height, 1.40 body surface area, 0.86 weight, 0.8 functional residual capacity subjects seven years to 40 age. Extrapolation regression equations adequately predicted anatomic values previously reported for neonates. It concluded that there is a constant relationship airway volume parameters size throughout life conforms expected changes growing...
