BackgroundIncreased arterial stiffness and aortic blood pressure (BP) are independent predictors of cardiovascular outcomes in end-stage renal disease. The 3-day interdialytic interval is associated with elevated risk morbidity mortality haemodialysis. This study investigated differences ambulatory BP between the second third day long interval.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence vitamin D deficiency in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and correlate findings with various demographic osteodystrophy markers.This cross-sectional, multicenter carried out 273 PD a mean age 61.7 +/- 10.9 years duration 3.3 2.2 years. It included 123 female 150 male from 20 centers Greece Turkey, countries that are same latitude, namely, 36-42 degrees north. We measured 25(OH)D3 1.25(OH)2D3 levels some...
Background: Hemodiafiltration with online preparation of the substitution [online high-flux hemodiafiltration (OHDF)] and prepared bags (HDF) are important, recently widely used renal replacement therapies in patients end-stage disease. However, there is little information on comparative impacts these modalities versus conventional low-flux hemodialysis (HD) quality life (QoL) HD patients. This study investigates effect dialysis modality QoL chronic Methods: In this prospective, randomized,...
Introduction: The study of time-related alterations ultrasound-determined parameters during maturation, and the assessment time to hemodynamic enabling early prediction clinical eligibility, hemodialysis autologous arteriovenous fistulae (AVF). Methods: This is an observational, prospective, only AVF-eligible patients referred for access creation, from 02/2019 02/2022 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT0473687). Brachial artery diameter (dBA), flow volume (FV), non-augmented efferent vein...
Background and objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) its management can adversely affect patients' quality of life mental health. Many patients are often inadequately informed about their condition the available treatment options. A considerable number people with advanced have insufficient knowledge This study aims to investigate impact an educational intervention on life, psychological resilience, anxiety, depression. specifically evaluate effectiveness this variables such as Methods...
Technological advances such as those that allow the delivery of an adequate dialysis dose to a larger percentage patients, minimization peritoneal membrane damage with more biocompatible solutions, and lower peritonitis rates will undoubtedly improve retention patients on (PD) for longer periods. Currently, only 15% world population is managed by PD. Peritoneal has many advantages over hemodialysis, if end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are fully informed about them, proportion who would prefer...
<i>Background/Aim:</i> Idiopathic membranous nephropathy, the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, has been traditionally treated with corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs. Ciclosporin A (CsA) is used resistant cases, but also as a first-line treatment, due to serious side effects In this study, remission rates incidence low CsA doses are compared those after treatment <i>Methods:</i> Seventy-seven patients well-preserved renal function who were...
Abstract: Oxidative stress is increased in hemodialysis (HD) patients and contributes to the morbidity mortality this population. Vitamin E an antioxidant agent. In present study effect of prolonged oral α‐tocopherol administration on defense system was evaluated. The factors plasma total status (TAS), red blood cell superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity glutathione peroxidase (GPX) were evaluated with spectrometry 27 HD patients. Measurements performed before after at a dose 500 mg/d for...
Aims . We sought to determine the association between levels of adiponectin and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in patients with diabetic nephropathy as well their effect on carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). Methods Adiponectin ox-LDL were determined 25 without 94 at different stages including subjects hemodialysis. cIMT was measured using real-time B-mode ultrasonography. Results Plasma increased significantly severity (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
