Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects 8–16% of the population worldwide and is characterized by an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for more 3 months. The main purpose study to record treatment algorithms disease management patients presenting first time hospital-based nephrologists with a reduced eGFR CKD diagnosis, under real-world clinical practice in Greece. Methods: This 6-month interim analysis ongoing, multicenter, observational,...
Abstract Objectives There are limited data regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAVs). We aimed to evaluate the HRQoL AAVs and compare it another chronic inflammatory disease like RA healthy controls (HC). Methods This was a multicentre, cross-sectional study recruited from three tertiary rheumatology clinics. assessed Short Form 36 Health Survey, which included physical mental component summary scores (PCS MCS). Data 1007 HC served...
Hemoperfusion has been considered a promising adjuvant treatment for chronic diseases and some acute states when specific removal of pathogenic factors from the bloodstream is desired. Over years, advances in adsorption materials (e.g., new synthetic polymers, biomimetic coating, matrixes with novel structures) have renewed scientific interest expanded potential therapeutic indications hemoperfusion. There growing evidence to suggest prominent place hemoperfusion as an setting sepsis or...
