Background. During haemodialysis the blood‐membrane contact causes a release of platelet granule content, which contains platelet‐derived growth factor AB (PDGF‐AB). In view potential role this in altering biocompatibility during haemodialysis, we evaluated intra‐ and post‐dialytic changes PDGF‐AB serum levels sessions performed with cellulose diacetate (CDA) polysulfone (PS) membranes respectively. Methods. PDGF‐AB, 4 (PF4), beta thromboglobulin (βTG), mean volume (MPV) were determined 30...
In recent years the high prevalence of diabetes and atherosclerosis in elderly uremic patients starting hemodialysis (HD) has led to increase risk vascular access (VA) failure caused by pre-existing arterial diseases, including both VA slow maturation early failure, upper limb ischemic symptoms. Recently, performing radial (R), brachial (B) ulnar (U) artery (A) percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) HD affected thrombosis, with insufficient blood flow severe ischemia, good outcomes have...
Abstract Background and Aims Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is the body's compensatory response to deficient erythropoiesis by bone marrow or accelerated destruction of erythrocytes. The term refers deposits erythroid precursors in organs outside marrow, most frequently occurring liver, spleen lymph nodes. We report a case perirenal EMH revealed ultrasound (US) integrated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patient primary myelofibrosis. This reveals importance point-of-care US (POCUS)...
A mathematical model of solute kinetics for the improvement hemodialysis treatment is presented. It includes a two-compartment description main solutes and three-compartment body fluids (plasma, interstitial intracellular). The parameters can be individually assigned priori, on basis weight plasma concentration values measured before beginning session. Model predictions are compared with clinical data obtained in vivo during 11 different sessions performed 6 patients profiled sodium...
Background. During haemodialysis blood–membrane contact causes the release of content platelet α-granules, which contain platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). In view its possible role in accelerated atherosclerotic processes, we evaluated intra- and post-dialytic changes PDGF-AB serum levels during sessions performed using a cellulosic membrane.
A mathematical model of solute kinetics oriented to improve hemodialysis treatment is presented. It includes a two-compartment description the main solutes (K+, Na+, Cl-, urea, HCO3-, H+, CO2), acid-base equilibrium through two buffer systems (bicarbonate and non-carbonic buffers) three-compartment body fluids (plasma, interstitial intracellular). The parameters can be individually assigned priori, on basis weight plasma concentration values measured before beginning session. Model...
In the last 10 years percentage of dialysis patients suffering from clinical intradialytic intolerance has greatly increased. Profiled hemodialysis (PHD) is a new technical approach, alternative to standard (SHD) for treatment symptomatic hypotension. It based on modulation dialysate sodium concentration, using concentration profile elaborated by mathematical kinetic model. The aim PHD reduce blood volume decrease, thanks profile, which allows reduction in plasma osmolarity thereby boosting...
To prevent arteriovenous fistula (AVF) early failure, due to radial or brachial artery stenosis, ultrasound guided angioplasty performed while surgically creating the AVF could be an effective procedure. Case report A 76-year-old diabetic male patient, on hemodialysis (HD) for 15 months, presented extensive thrombosis of radio-cephalic at right arm, which had lasted about 10 days. Ultrasound examination showed a 40% stenosis with eccentric calcified plaque. The was localized 1.5 cm before...
