Background: We investigated the effects of roxadustat on anemia, iron metabolism, peritoneal membrane function, and residual renal function; determined factors associated with administration in patients who were undergoing dialysis. Methods: retrospectively analyzed changes hemoglobin, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), 4-h dialysate/plasma creatinine, weekly urea clearance over 24 weeks following change from an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) to 16 dialysis had anemia...
Abstract A fixed‐dose formula that combines Ombitasvir (OBV), Paritaprevir (PTV) and Ritonavir (RTV) has been launched into the field of anti‐HCV therapy in Japan for patients infected with HCV genotypes 1 2 2015. However, little is yet known as to efficacy safety this novel on maintenance haemodialysis (HD). The present report describes a preliminary experience 10 (five males five females) who underwent HD. All them had genotype 1b, without having resistance‐associated variants at Y93 or...
Background: Zinc deficiency is common and associated with erythropoietin resistant anemia, dysgeusia, hypogonadism in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, the prevalence clinical effects of zinc peritoneal dialysis (PD) have not been determined. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study. The serum factors related to concentration were determined 49 PD [mean age 59.5 years (±14.8 years), 38/49 men (78.6%), median period 24.0 months (12.5-45.0 months)]. A <60 μg/dL defined...
Carnitine deficiency contributes to developing various pathological conditions, such as cardiac dysfunction, muscle weakness, and erythropoietin-resistant anemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, a conclusion has not been reached concerning the prevalence effect of carnitine peritoneal dialysis (PD). In this study, clinical factors associated with were investigated 60 PD. The median age was 62.5 years (52.5–72.5 years), proportion male sex 44/60 (73.3%), PD period 24 months...
Only a few cases of renal vein thrombosis (RVT) occurring in patients with vasculitis have been reported. RVT associated and hemolytic anemia has not reported yet. We describe here patient complicated by pulmonary embolism, autoimmune anemia, eosinophilic granulomatous polyangiitis. A 69-year-old Japanese man who had treated corticosteroids was referred to our department for severe proteinuria (4.32 g/gCr). Abdominal ultrasonography showed bilateral RVT, contrast-enhanced computed tomography...
The aim of this study was to investigate different intensities uremic pruritus in the daytime and nighttime, as well contributing factors, patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).A total 46 (31 males, 15 females) with a mean age 59.4±14.7 years PD vintage 29.2±25.2 months were enrolled single-center, prospective, cross-sectional study. intensity nighttime assessed using visual analog scale (VAS). relationships between various clinical laboratory parameters analyzed multiple linear...
Near-infrared spectroscopy has been used to measure the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) of brain, and decreases in cerebral rSO2 have reported lead cognitive impairment patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, reports about association between changes oxygenation clinical parameters at hemodialysis initiation, including hemoglobin level, are lacking.This study included 33 initiation phase. Cerebral was monitored using an INVOS 5100C. Included were assessed twice (at 42.7 ± 20.8 days...
Background We report a unique case of renal cholesterol crystal embolism (CCE) induced by carotid artery stenting that was successfully treated with evolocumab, fully human monoclonal antibody against proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9).Case presentation A 77-year-old man hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and chronic kidney disease referred to our department for decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)—from 32.0 13.9 mL/min/1.73 m2—5 weeks after stenting. Further...
Abstract Rationale: Herein, we report 3 hemodialysis patients with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome who were successfully treated using corticosteroid therapy. Patient concerns: Case 1 was a 63-year-old man undergoing because of bilateral nephrectomy and developed hypereosinophilia digestive symptoms, myocardial injury, intradialytic hypotension. 2 an 83-year-old nephrosclerosis pruritus, 59-year-old diabetic nephropathy Diagnoses: All presented (eosinophil count ≥1500 /μL for more than...
TAFRO症候群は,血小板減少(thrombocytopenia),腔水症(anasarca),発熱(fever),骨髄線維症(myelofibrosis),腎機能障害(renal dysfunction),臓器腫大(organomegaly)を特徴とする.症例は66歳,男性.7カ月前に血小板数減少を指摘され,約1カ月前より腹痛,胸腹水貯留が生じた.前医入院後に腎機能障害が出現し,当院転院となり,TAFRO症候群と診断した.比較的急峻な経過を辿るもステロイドおよびシクロスポリンによる治療で改善した.血小板減少を伴う腎機能障害の鑑別にTAFRO症候群を挙げることが肝心である.
Introduction and Objectives: We investigated the efficacy safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors as an add-on therapy in patients with advanced-stage diabetic kidney disease taking renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers. Materials Methods: Changes glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), body weight, systolic blood pressure, annual change estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were retrospectively analyzed 20 after 12 months SGLT-2...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects elobixibat on constipation and lipid metabolism; determine factors associated with effect in patients moderate end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD).Stool frequency serum parameters were retrospectively analyzed before after 4 weeks administration 42 (CKD stage G3, 6; G4, 9; G5, G5D, 18). Relationships between change stool initiation various clinical by using linear regression analysis.Elobixibat increased from 0.5 ± 0.4 per day 1.1 0.6...
Few studies have investigated the relationship between serum total carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. We determined agreement discrepancy CO2 HCO3- concentrations diagnostic accuracy of for prediction low (HCO3- < 24 mEq/L) high ≥ hemodialysis patients.One hundred forty-nine arteriovenous blood samples from 84 were studied. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine factors correlated with concentration....
The objective of this study was to determine factors associated with the change in carotid maximum intima-media thickness (IMT), an established surrogate marker atherosclerosis, moderate-to-advanced stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.In total, 130 CKD patients (mean age: 67.6 ± 11.0 years old; 91 men and 39 women) were included retrospective, single-center, observational study. Relationships between IMT clinical laboratory data analyzed by using multivariate linear regression...
We compared the efficacy of teneligliptin versus linagliptin for glycemic control and renoprotection in patients with advanced-stage diabetic kidney disease.Changes glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose concentration, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during a 12-month period were retrospectively analyzed after switching from to 13 disease (teneligliptin group). Thirteen propensity score-matched who treated alone served as...
The purpose of this study is to estimate the motion trajectory an ultrasound probe using Visual SLAM technology,and reproduce a doctor's scanning bed-type robotic diagnosis system (RUDS). We investigated method mimic RUDS by technology.The proposed was able perform imitation motion,but error became larger as distance from origin increased.
An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can fail for different reasons at each stage after its creation. The study aimed to analyze the associations of clinical and laboratory parameters, including intraoperative AVF blood flow, with failure periods (3 weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36 months) AVF's creation evaluate usefulness flow as a surrogate marker in patients end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This was single-center, retrospective cohort that included 130 ESRD who underwent new radiocephalic AVFs....
