ABSTRACT Background Physical Frailty Phenotype (PFP) is the most used frailty instrument among kidney transplant recipients, classifying patients as pre-frail if they have 1–2 criteria and frail ≥3. However, different definitions of robustness been renal patients, including only those who 0 criteria, or with 0–1 criteria. Our aim was to determine impact one PFP criterion on outcomes. Methods We undertook a retrospective study 296 recipients had evaluated for by at time evaluating...
To report experience over five years of vascular access (VA) stenosis surveillance.We prospectively monitored the blood flow rate (QA) 145 VA in 131 ESRD (age 62.6 ±13.5 y) patients (pts). QA measurement: within first hour hemodialysis (HD) session by Delta-H method using Crit Line III Monitor. All with baseline < 700 mL/min or decreased > 20% from time met positive evaluation (PE) criteria and were referred for angiography (AG) plus elective intervention if = 50%.We found 54 cases PE 47 VA;...
We prospectively analyzed the effect of preexisting structural changes radial artery (RA) wall by histological examination on wrist radiocephalic fistula (RCF) outcomes.During RCF creation, one segment RA was collected and its histomorphometric analysis performed. The function evaluated measuring blood flow rate.At end follow-up, 75.7% thirty-seven patients enrolled were performing hemodialysis using their successful 24.3% them showed early failure. Compared to with a healthy RA, those...
Purpose To evaluate the functional effects of preventive vascular access (VA) intervention through periodic blood flow (Q A ) measurements during hemodialysis (HD) by delta-H method. Methods We prospectively monitored rate 100 VA (arteriovenous fistula (AVF) 81% or AV graft (AVG) 19%; mean duration 24.6 ± 42.3 months) HD in 89 end-stage renal disease patients (mean age 62.7 13.6 yrs; time on 30.9 43.9 months; 18% with diabetes) over a 3-yr period. Q was measured at least every 4 months...
The arteriovenous (AV) access function of hemodialysis (HD) patients can be impaired by afferent artery stiffness due to preexisting microcalcification and venous stenosis secondary neointimal hyperplasia in whose development participates an upregulated local inflammatory process. Fetuin-A is a circulating potent inhibitor vascular calcification plays important anti-inflammatory role. aims this prospective study were investigate the relationship between baseline serum fetuin-A levels and:...
Sarcopenia and frailty are often overlooked in assessing kidney transplant (KT) candidates with chronic disease (CKD), potentially leading to poor post-transplant outcomes. This study aimed identify metabolites associated sarcopenia KT from the FRAILMar study. Between June 2016 2020, we evaluated 173 using Physical Frailty Phenotype EGWSOP-2 criteria, respectively. Seventy-five metabolic markers targeted pathways, previously linked CKD, or frailty, were measured serum samples. These analyzed...
venous catheter were enrolled.Colonization of the inner lumen was assessed every month by systematic surveillance cultures performed on 10ml a blood-heparin mixture that withdrawn from arterial and lumen, which inoculated into aerobic culture bottles.Catheter related septicaemia defined as positive blood fever or shivers, abrupt fall in pressure, when no other infection apparent.RESULTS: A total 75 patients included study.We analysed results 577 cultures.Of these, 27 positive, including 23...
significant difference between in the NS and non-NS groups [0 (0%) versus 3 (2.1%),P ¼ 0.32] (Table2).Among DN cases, before initiating HD, number of cases with AVF thrombosed within two weeks after construction was significantly greater group than [3 (8.6%) 0 (0%), P 0.0061], whereas among non-DN there no 2 (2.0%), 0.42].In group, those receiving antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant drugs showed lesser thrombosis not drugs, although this [antiplatelet 1 (3.8%) (7.0%),P 0.58; drugs: 4 (5.9%),P...
