Only a few research is available on the effects of home-based exercise training pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate effect therapy function and arm leg muscle strength in CKD Thirty-six male stage 3–4 patients (age, 68.7 ± 6.8 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 39.0 11.6 ml/min/1.73 m2) who were being treated as outpatients included. The subjects randomly assigned an intervention group (Ex group: 18) control (C 18). Ex wore...
ABSTRACT Aim Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for declining cognitive and physical function. However, the prevalence of mild impairment (MCI) its relationship with function not clear. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate MCI between among older adults pre‐dialysis CKD. Methods We conducted cross‐sectional study 120 patients, aged ≥65 years (mean age, 77.3 years), CKD but without probable dementia (Mini Mental State Examination <24). evaluated using Japanese version Montreal...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major and serious risk factor for cardiovascular (CVD). Continuous hypoxia due to hypoperfusion in peritubular capillaries one of the factors aggravating CKD, but evaluation perfusion this region difficult using clinically available imaging methods. Since second-generation ultrasound contrast agent Sonazoid has stable shell, it enables visualization renal vasculature long period time. We therefore evaluated changes contrast-enhanced (CEUS) with CKD...
We investigated whether reduced lymphocyte count, could predict the development of severe COVID-19. also examined ciclesonide prevent COVID-19 among patients with predictors. This was a retrospective cohort study. Of 30 included patients, 12, 14, and 4 were allocated to pneumonia, non-severe non-pneumonia groups, respectively. The group low level counts sixth day after onset significantly intubated approximately three days later. incidence pneumoniae requiring intubation are lower in treated...
Abstract Background Multidisciplinary care is well established in clinical practice, but its effectiveness patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether multidisciplinary could help avoid worsening function CKD. Methods This nationwide had a multicenter retrospective observational design and included 3015 Japanese CKD stage 3–5 who received care. We assessed the annual decrease estimated glomerular filtration rate (ΔeGFR) urinary...
Cancer is a major cause of death in patients undergoing haemodialysis. However, information about the actual clinical practice chemotherapy for with cancer haemodialysis lacking. We conducted nationwide survey using questionnaires on such patients.The included who were subsequently diagnosed 20 hospitals Japan from January 2010 to December 2012. reviewed their data, including at following primary sites: kidney, colorectum, stomach, lung, liver, bladder, pancreas and breast. The consisted...
Whether the effect of a low-protein diet on progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and mortality risk differs between young elderly adults with chronic kidney (CKD) is unclear. We conducted retrospective CKD cohort study investigate association protein intake or outcomes whether age affects this association. The comprised 352 patients stage G3-5 who had been followed up for median 4.2 years, undergone educational hospitalization, whom baseline was estimated from 24-h urine samples....
Background: This multi-institutional, observational study examined whether the outcomes after peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement in Japan meet audit criteria of International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guideline and identified factors affecting technique survival perioperative complications. Methods: Adult patients who underwent first PD end-stage kidney disease between April 2019 March 2021 were followed until withdrawal, transplantation, transfer to other facilities,...
To compare the absorption profile of cyclosporine after preprandial administration with that postprandial administration, and to determine which time resulted in a more stable timing drug concentration was most reliable marker for monitoring absorption.Prospective analysis.University teaching hospital Japan.Sixteen patients refractory nephrotic syndrome.Thirteen received breakfast (postprandial group) eight 30 minutes before (preprandial group).Blood measured 5 times serially: (C 0 ) at...
Current status and clinical significance of interventional nephrology has not been reported from Japan. Questionnaires were mailed twice to the directors all 534 Japanese certificated training institutions in 2014. The main questions current performance, categorized annual procedure volume managers peritoneal dialysis (PD) access, vascular access (VA) surgery, endovascular intervention, kidney biopsy. Frequencies nephrologist involvement between high center low association level...
The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects one-hour discussion on choice dialysis modality at outpatient clinic.Charts consecutive patients who had started maintenance from May 2013 April 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Characteristics start compared between participated and not in discussion.Of 620 incident patients, 128 discussion. After propensity score matching (1:1), 127 tended have fewer urgent hospitalizations (13.4% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.068). In addition, more initiated...
Peritonitis is still the major complication associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Microbacterium spp., a type of coryneform bacteria, an environmental bacterium isolated from soil, waste water and animals. Human infection rare, only few cases have so far been reported in immunocompromised hosts, such as PD patients. paraoxydans, one spp. was identified for first time 2003. Only two paraoxydans reported. We herein report case PD-related peritonitis caused by which sequence determination...
PDI endoscopic appearance of CMV colitis is variable; round-shaped ulcers are the most distinctive features, but not specific.The definitive diagnosis requires histopathologic evidence viral cytopathic effects, and sensitivity augmented by immunohistochemistry or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (3,4).The in our patient was self-limited, subsequently improved with ganciclovir therapy.A meta-analysis immunocompetent patients reported a lower rate spontaneous...
