<h3>Importance</h3> Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly used drugs worldwide and have been linked to acute interstitial nephritis. Less is known about association between PPI use chronic kidney disease (CKD). <h3>Objective</h3> To quantify incident CKD in a population-based cohort. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In total, 10 482 participants Atherosclerosis Risk Communities study with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of at least 60 mL/min/1.73...
Approximately 1 million patients in the United States with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild-to-moderate kidney disease do not receive guideline-directed therapy metformin. This may reflect uncertainty regarding risk of acidosis chronic disease.
ABSTRACT Aim Evaluate the area‐level incidence of kidney failure due to diabetes among Australians aged ≤ 45 years. Methods Using Australian registry and census data (2000–2022), rates prevalence (defined as commencing replacement therapy) people years were compared by geographical region. Results Incidence (per 100 000/year, 95% confidence interval) in Australia was 0.72 (0.68–0.77) 2000–2011, 1.13 (1.07–1.18) 2012–2022 (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.56, 1.50–1.62). Between 2012 2022, there...
Abstract Accurate assessment of fluid status is a priority for patients with kidney failure undergoing long-term dialysis. There wide variation in current volume-related practices between dialysis units and an urgent need to develop better evidence guide practice. Clinical decisions relating volume management are implicitly based on status, there numerous different but imperfect methods assessment. Isotope-based dilutions impractical clinical use may not be gold-standard failure. Individual...
Millions of patients with kidney failure rely on hemodialysis (HD) central venous catheters (CVC) for their life-sustaining dialysis treatments. CVC dysfunction necessitates removal up to 20% CVCs and is an important problem failure. Thrombosis fibrin sheath formation are the most common mechanisms beyond first week after insertion. Factors such as female sex, left-sided placement prior increase risk dysfunction. Patient specific factors contribute substantially variation in number events....
BACKGROUND: Untreated microangiopathic hemolytic anemia in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Accurate diagnosis challenging owing to nonspecific clinical features pathologic findings. Timely initiation of appropriate management essential optimize CASE: A 26-year-old primiparous woman presented at 20 weeks gestation new-onset on a background poorly controlled type 1 diabetes. She received eculizumab for presumed atypical uremic syndrome. At 24 gestation,...
Key Points Replacement strategies for hemodialysis catheters with mechanical failure differed widely between services, which suggests clinical equipoise. For catheter failure, exchange did not result in more dysfunction or infection than removal and separate replacement. In Australia, infected were almost universally removed then replaced through a tunnel tract. Background Tunneled often have infectious complications that require unplanned replacement, but the optimal replacement strategy is...
Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients, and β-lactam antibiotics are common cause.1Perazella M.A. Diagnosing drug-induced AIN the patient: challenge for clinician.Clin Nephrol. 2014; 81: 381-388Crossref PubMed Scopus (42) Google Scholar Early diagnosis β-lactam−induced essential to direct changes therapy, but it often difficult distinguish from other causes AKI, such as tubular necrosis. A biopsy gold-standard diagnostic...
Since 1980, we have implanted 910 carbon tip leads from three different manufacturers. The pacing thresholds these were compared to those of standard polished platinum electrode configurations. Our major findings are that while acute voltage not significantly different, two the used in study statistically lower chronic then (p ≤ 0.01).
This report describes some of the various techniques which may be used to demonstrate intermittent and/or incomplete fracture a pacing lead. Eleven patients treated with an R-wave-inhibited demand pacer showed signs paroxysmal arrhythmias. Intraoperative recordings ventricular electrogram presence spurious signals mimicking R-wave. These varied from patient but remained morphologically constant when given technique was in case. The most significant were picked up and recording on same
Recent developments in cardiac pacemaker electrodes have resulted significant benefits to the group of patients as a whole. The results analysis 2,818 chronic are presented. These divided into major categories according their particularities: platinum iridium, elgiloy, carbon‐tip, anodized and granulated iridium‐platinum. All leads were ventricular position. acute threshold measurements reveal that carbon‐tipped appear most favorable overall characteristics. This will influence on long‐term...
A controversy arose some 10 years ago over the reliability of polyurethane lead insulation. On basis one longest standing and largest databanks worldwide, authors compare cumulative survival several thousand polyurethane, standard silastic, high-performance silastic electrodes as it pertains to failure criterion described insulation degradation. With possible exception Medtronic 6972 (Medtronic, Inc.) electrode, have a 100% at 84 months, which is similar electrodes.
