This study aimed to elucidate the between number of prescribed medicines and all-cause mortality in HD, accounting for essential (i.e., antihypertensives, antidiabetic medicines, statins) non-essential medicines. We evaluated 339 who underwent maintenance HD at Nagasaki Renal Center July 2011 June 2012 followed up until 2021. After adjusting patient characteristics,...
Abstract Muscle mass loss and worsening physical function are crucial issues in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD). However, few studies have investigated the association between temporal changes muscle a large number of HD patients. We examined 286 (males, 58%; age, 66.8 ± 13.0 years) at single center, calculated percent psoas index (%PMI) using computed tomography over two screenings, once per year (July 2011–June 2013). Physical was evaluated Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group...
Older hospitalized patients undergoing hemodialysis are increasingly experiencing malnutrition caused by dysphagia. However, only a few studies have focused on this problem. We used the Kuchikara Taberu Balance Chart (KTBC) to evaluate patients' feeding status and examined its association with their nutritional prognosis. This study included elderly who were at Nagasaki Renal Center for > 3 days between June 2021 February 2022. In total, 82 inpatients [mean age, 73.4 ± 10.0 years; men,...
Despite evident lifestyle changes due to measures against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, few reports focus on effects of eating-behavior nutritional status elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Thus, we examined dry-weight reduction, simplest indicator malnutrition among dialysis, and its association with discontinuation cafeteria services at a dialysis facility as per COVID-19 measures. This retrospective study included (aged ≥ 65 years) HD Nagasaki Renal Center...
Although muscle mass loss and pneumonia are common crucial issues in hemodialysis (HD) patients, few reports have focused on their association, which remains unclear. This study assessed the association between skeletal incidence of HD patients using psoas index (PMI).This retrospective included 330 who were treated at a single center July 2011 June 2012. The observation period was 2021. Demographic, clinical, data collected, associations PMI hospitalization due to bacterial evaluated Cox...
Anorexia is a common symptom in older patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and has become serious problem dialysis facilities with the aging of patients.

This study used Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire for Japanese Elderly (SNAQ-JE) evaluate patients' appetite, its medications....
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most important risk factors for lower-limb amputation in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, influence diabetes on survival after unknown.Patients who underwent since 1996 (amputation group) and those hemodialysis during 2011-2012 (control were included followed up until July 2022.There 70 (age: 66.3 ± 8.2 years, 80% male, 77% diabetic) group 328 67.5 13.5 56% 33% control group. The showed a poorer prognosis than (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.41, p < 0.001). In...

Methods retrospective included patients admitted a affiliated with Nagasaki Renal Center between April 2014 March 2022. Medical data were collected admission, participants divided into high BMI groups according their median values. The followed up until 2023. association survival patient history was also analyzed....
