A high body mass index (BMI) is known to correlate with better survival in patients on hemodialysis (HD). However, the impacts of composition and sarcopenia have not been well studied this population.One hundred forty-two prevalent HD were recruited followed prospectively for up 4.5 years. Low muscle (measured using a portable, whole-body, bioimpedance spectroscopic device) was defined as lean tissue (LTI) two standard deviations (SD) or more below normal gender-specific mean young people....
Acute renal failure (ARF) is not a rare occurrence in severe burns and an important complication leading to increase mortality. The severity of the burn largely determined by size, are likely cause enough loss extracellular fluid albumin from plasma volume produce shock hypoalbuminemia.We hypothesized that initial serum level may be useful as indicator prognosis injury burned patients.The clinical characteristics 147 adult patients with second- third-degree covering 30% or more their body...
Hip fracture is a common health problem in the elderly that associated with increased mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequent complication patients undergoing surgery and clinical outcome. We evaluated incidence risk factors of AKI hip impact on short- long-term outcomes.
Background: Sarcopenia is a prevalent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease and associated poor quality of life, morbidity, mortality. Several candidate biomarkers have been evaluated for this condition. This study assessed the serum cystatin C to creatinine (serum C/Cr) ratio as potential biomarker sarcopenia non-dialysis-dependent disease. Methods: enrolled 517 outpatients. Muscle mass (lean tissue index) was measured using bioimpedance spectroscopic device, muscle strength...
In vitro studies of peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions demonstrated that a lactate-buffered fluid with neutral pH and low glucose degradation products (LF) has better biocompatibility than conventional acidic (CF). However, few clinical trials have evaluated the long-term benefit biocompatible solution on residual renal function (RRF). To compare LF CF, we performed prospective, randomized study patients starting PD.After 1-month run-in period, 91 new PD were for 12 months treatment either...
Background. Neutrophils are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. We hypothesized that NET formation neutrophils might be changed end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, explaining their higher incidence coronary artery diseases (CAD). Method. A cross-sectional study was performed 60 maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) 30 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals (HV, negative control), patients with acute infection (positive control)....
This study assessed the impact of cardiac risk assessment using gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) on events in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We evaluated 215 asymptomatic patients who began dialysis between January 2005 and April 2009. Baseline electrocardiography echocardiography were performed all The subjects stratified into low- high-risk groups according to baseline status, SPECT was additionally recommended for population consisted 50 165 undergoing...
Abstract Most epidemiologic studies assessing the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sarcopenia have been performed in dialysis patients. This study aimed to evaluate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), proteinuria, patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD. A total of 892 outpatients who did not show any rapid changes renal function were enrolled this observational cohort study. We measured muscle mass using bioimpedance analysis handgrip strength (HGS), was...
Background/Aims Vascular access dysfunction is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Recent studies have shown that a klotho gene mutation related to endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis, arteriosclerosis, which are regarded as causes vascular dysfunction. We investigated the relationship between G-395A polymorphism early HD Methods Patients who underwent operations 1999 2002 were enrolled (n=126). Genotyping was performed by allelic discrimination using...
Abstract Post-transplant malignancy (PTM) is a leading cause of premature mortality among kidney transplantation recipients. However, population-based cohort studies that cover incidence, mortality, and risk factors for PTM are rarely reported, especially in East Asia. We designed retrospective study using national database. A total 9915 recipients between 2003 2016 were included. During this period, 598 cases (6.0%) de novo occurred. The most common was thyroid cancer (14.2%), followed by...
Objectives Significant weight gain is a potential problem in most patients starting peritoneal dialysis (PD); however, few studies have explored the clinical effects of increased body (BW) these patients. We evaluated effect excess during first year after PD on residual renal function (RRF). Methods A total 148 incident were analyzed longitudinal observational study. The mean duration follow-up was 23.8 months. RRF measured at baseline (within 1 month PD) and thereafter 6-month intervals for...
Controversies exist whether arteriovenous fistula (AVF) placement is preferred over graft (AVG) for elderly patients. Current guidelines did not offer specific recommendations. Thus, this study was conducted to analyze the all-cause mortality and primary patency associated with various vascular access (VA) types according age group.This retrospective observational investigated Korean insurance claims data of chronic kidney disease patients who began hemodialysis between January 2008 December...
The number of elderly patients requiring hemodialysis has increased, along with the need for multiple vascular access placements. Thus, frequency creation using upper arm veins, including transposed basilic arteriovenous fistula, also increased. purpose this study was to identify prevalence anatomical variations in veins on preoperative mapping venography and investigate implications such variants creation.A total 494 venograms were performed 251 primary from June 2014 2017 single-center,...
Background/Aims The Republic of Korea is a country where the hemodialysis population growing rapidly. It believed that numbers treatments related to vascular access-related complications are also increasing. This study investigated current status treatment and medical expenses for access in Korean patients on hemodialysis. Methods was descriptive observational study. We inspected insurance claims with chronic kidney disease who underwent between January 2008 December 2016. calculated...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an established risk factor for numerous cardiovascular diseases including stroke. The relationship between the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and clinical 3-month outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke were evaluated this study. This was a prospective cohort study involving hospital-based registry; 1373 enrolled. Patients divided into following four groups according their eGFR (calculated using CKD Epidemiology Collaboration...
Non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are a heterogeneous group with variety of prognosis. We investigated the role subclinical carotid atherosclerosis for prediction adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in these patients, and tried to identify clinical echocardiographic parameters associated atherosclerosis.As prospective design, 182 asymptomatic non-diabetic CKD underwent ultrasonography Doppler echocardiography. Carotid was defined as intima-media thickness ≥1.0 mm and/or...
Background:Significant body fat accumulation is an inevitable but potentially serious problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Whether excessive gain predicts long-term outcomes these patients remains unknown.Methods:In this prospective cohort study (n = 297), the associations of with patient survival and PD failure rate were examined. Based on duration at time enrollment, divided into short- (< 2 years) (> groups. Body weight (BW) composition measured twice, 12.8 ± 4.6 months apart....
