Elderly patients on haemodialysis (HD) are a steadily increasing group. They show high complexity, dependency and comorbidity. Multiple benefits from exercise in HD have been reported; however, they not specifically evaluated an elderly population.To assess the effect of adapted low intensity intradialytic programme muscle strength, functional capacity health-related quality life our (> 80 years) HD.HD were non-randomly assigned to training group (E) or control (C) 12-week single-centre...
Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP), a persistent itching sensation, is prevalent among hemodialysis patients. This study aims to understand its prevalence, possible association with selected solutes, and impact on quality of life (QoL) in Involving 434 patients Spain, this observational employed survey based validated assessment tools, alongside demographic, clinical, biochemical data collection. The used statistical analyses examine the correlation between CKD-aP various...
Introducción: El prurito asociado a la enfermedad renal crónica es sensación de picor relacionada con sin otra patología que lo justifique. Su prevalencia ha podido disminuir, aunque todavía persiste y está infradiagnosticado.Objetivo: Analizar el conocimiento práctica habitual enfermería nuestra unidad sobre manejo del prurito.Material Método: Estudio unicéntrico descriptivo, realizado en marzo 2023 mediante encuesta auto diseñada grado personal nefrología, prurito.Resultados: 24 encuestas...
Introducción: Las fístulas protésicas de politetrafluoroetileno constituyen una alternativa cuando los accesos vasculares nativos no son viables. Su uso se asocia a más complicaciones y menor supervivencia relacionada con su punción repetitiva.Objetivos: Describir la técnica características las protésicas, analizar utilidad práctica tras implementar un mapa programada.Material Método: Estudio unicéntrico prospectivo 6 semanas, pacientes protésicas. Analizamos clínicas sociodemográficas,...

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Patients on haemodialysis (HD) have a decreased physical and functional capacity. Several studies reported the beneficial effects of exercise physical, psychological functioning HD patients. Despite these results, programmes are not commonplace. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To analyse effect an intradialysis endurance training programme muscular strength capacity in our <b><i>Material...
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the functional capacity patients with chronic kidney disease stage V (CKD-5D) different depending on their physical activity levels. We also compared capacity, quality life, and symptoms depression treatment modalities (HD vs. PD). A Cross-sectional included 52 (35HD 17PD; males 61.5%, mean age 71 years). main measurements were level using Human Activity Profile questionnaire (HAP), muscle strength, health-related life (HRQoL), depressive...
Definido como la sensación desagradable que provoca el deseo de rascarse, prurito es síntoma cutáneo más frecuente asociado a uremia, pudiendo aparecer en casi mitad los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) avanzada. Más allá su repercusión directa sobre calidad vida, ERC (Pa-ERC) un predictor independiente mortalidad además ejerce efecto sinérgico otros síntomas también relacionados depresión y insomnio. Aunque se han propuesto diferentes mecanismos para explicar origen,...
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the gold standard for vascular access (VA) end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Post-operative exercises may help to improve maturation. Nevertheless, scarce scientific evidence has been reported about their utility date. Our objective was assess effect of a post-operative isometric exercise programme on native VA maturation in patients with stage 5-5D CKD.We performed 24-month prospective study. After surgery, were randomized group (EG) or control...
The number of elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis is steadily increasing. choice and management vascular access (VA) in these are difficult, the role postoperative isometric exercises on native VA maturation population not clearly established.To assess effect older than 75 years with advanced chronic kidney disease.This was a randomized single-center study over 24-month period. Postoperative were performed exercise group (EG), while control (CG) received usual care. Demographic data,...
Abstract Background Exercise programs in patients with kidney disease improve functional capacity and health‐related quality of life, but the implementation exercise nephrology services is not an easy task. Aim To evaluate effectiveness a home‐based program chronic (CKD) stages 4–5 (with or without dialysis). Methods A 12‐week prospective observational cohort design study was carried out renal failure who undertook program. Registered data included: (a) biochemical parameters; (b) tests,...
Vascular access is essential to perform an adequate hemodialysis. Needle cannulation in vascular usually painful. There little scientific evidence on the analgesic effect of thermotherapy. The aim this study was evaluate thermotherapy cannulation.We performed a 2-week single center prospective study. Demographic data and location were collected. main outcome pain perceived measured by visual analog scale. We two phases study: phase I with usual procedure, II, we applied local for 15 min (hot...
Abstract Background and Aims In recent years the discovery of targeted therapies in oncology have been a revolution with spectacular results for patients advanced neoplasia metastasis. Representing more precise approach to interfering tumorigenesis, these exhibit superior tolerability profile terms toxicity significantly improved overall survival (1). Numerous studies demonstrated increased risk cancer developing acute renal failure progressing chronic kidney disease, both contributing...
Abstract Background and Aims Pain is one of the most common symptoms among patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), often going unrecognized or inadequately managed in people undertaking hemodialysis. Over 50% on hemodialysis experience pain, 75% them being ineffectively treated due to healthcare professionals' lack awareness this symptom. Managing pain population a complex challenging task for professionals. Variables related chronic can influence patient's response pain. There gap...
Cinacalcet has proved effective to control secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients on haemodialysis (HD). Some studies have reported an appropriate and a better compliance after intradialytic use of calcimimetics. To assess the effect post-dialysis calcimimetics mineral bone disorders gastrointestinal tolerability our HD unit. A 12-week single-centre prospective study treated with cinacalcet (>2 months). Two periods: usual outpatient (Stage 1) session 2). Endpoints: (1) biochemical MBD...
Abstract Background and Aims Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best vascular access for hemodialysis. However, role of preoperative isometric exercises in patients with advanced cronic kidney disease (CKD) who are candidates AVF unclear not well reported literature. The main objetive this study was to evaluate effect exercise on territory CKD prior creation. Method An 8 months prospective single-center study. We performed an program 4 weeks non dominant arm (exercise arm) compared (control...
Introduction: Our objective is to describe the clinical characteristics and preoperative ultrasound mapping parameters associated with primary secondary patency of radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistulas (RCF).
