BackgroundChronic kidney disease is an important cause of global mortality and morbidity. Data for epidemiological features chronic its risk factors are limited low-income middle-income countries. The International Society Nephrology's Kidney Disease Center (ISN-KDDC) aimed to assess the prevalence awareness factors, investigate cardiovascular disease, in countries low middle income.MethodsWe did a cross-sectional study 12 from six world regions: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bosnia Herzegovina,...
Globally, the number of patients undergoing maintenance dialysis is increasing, yet throughout world there significant variability in practice initiating dialysis. Factors such as availability resources, reasons for starting dialysis, timing initiation, patient education and preparedness, modality access, well varied "country-specific" factors significantly affect experiences outcomes. As burden end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has increased globally, also been a growing recognition...
Abstract Vitamin K (vitamin K1 or phylloquinone and vitamin K2, a series of menaquinones [MKs]) is involved in the production bone matrix amino acid γ-carboxy-glutamic (Gla) proteins, regulating vascular calcification. Low concentrations are associated with increased risks fractures calcification, frequent complications hemodialysis patients. We carried out an observational study to establish prevalence deficiency assess relationship between status, vertebral fractures, survival 387 patients...

Surgical and endovascular interventions for promoting arteriovenous fistula maturation 2.1.We suggest using regional block anaesthesia rather than local creation in adults with end-stage kidney disease.(2C) 2.2.We there is insufficient evidence to support endof-vein side-of-artery over side-of-vein side-ofartery anastomosis disease (2C) peri-and postoperative care of AV fistulas grafts ii3 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ndt/article/34/Supplement_2/ii1/5514502 by guest on...
Oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) is the choice treatment for thromboembolism prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF), although data about OAT use haemodialysis (HD) patients with AF are contradictory.The effect of on risk mortality, stroke and bleeding was prospectively evaluated a population HD AF. All 10 Italian centres alive 31 October 2010 documented episode(s) were recruited followed-up 2 years. antiplatelet intake, age, dialytic comorbidities percentage time target international...
Aneurysms are a common and often difficult complication seen with arteriovenous vascular access for haemodialysis. The purpose of this narrative review is to define describe the scale problem suggested therapeutic strategies. A published literature illustrated by individual cases presented aim summarising relevant literature. definitions aneurysm inconsistent throughout therefore systematic impossible. They vary from qualitative descriptions quantitative using absolute size, relative size...
<i>Objectives:</i> Poor medication adherence is common in end-stage renal disease and may cause suboptimal outcomes increased healthcare costs. We assessed the association between regimen complexity, perceived burden of oral therapy (BOT) a large sample hemodialysis (HD) patients. <i>Methods:</i> 1,238 HD patients 54 Italian centers participated. Data were collected on patients’ socio-demographic characteristics, BOT, quality life, satisfaction, social support with...
BackgroundKnowledge on anaemia management in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) patients regularly followed renal clinics is scarce although being essential to identifying areas of therapeutic improvement.
Renal diets for advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are structured to achieve a lower protein, phosphate and sodium intake, while supplying adequate energy. The aim of this nutritional intervention is prevent or correct signs, symptoms complications renal insufficiency, delaying the start dialysis preserving status. This paper focuses on three additional aspects that can play an important role in management CKD patients: vitamin K1 fiber content, alkalizing potential. We examined energy...
Warfarin inhibits vitamin-K dependent proteins involved in bone mineralization and the prevention of vascular calcification (bone Gla protein BGP, matrix MGP). In this multicenter, cross-sectional study with 3-year follow-up, data from 387 patients on hemodialysis for ≥1 year at 18 dialysis units were analyzed. Patients warfarin treatment > 1 (11.9% population) compared remaining cohort vertebral fractures, calcifications mortality. Vertebral fractures sought L-L X-rays (D5 to L4). Compared...
