Background and purpose: Echocardiographic features levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) have been associated with adverse outcomes in patients on maintained hemodialysis (HD). This study aims to investigate whether combining NT-proBNP echocardiographic parameters enhances the accuracy mortality risk prediction this patient population. Methods: A cohort 199 undergoing maintenance HD (45.7% female; mean age, 56.4 years) was analyzed. Hazard ratios (HRs) were...
Hemodialysis (HD) is significantly affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVD), immune dysfunction, and inflammation, involving interactions of inflammatory cells lipid metabolism disorders. This study aimed to investigate the association between complex indices all-cause mortality, as well compare prognostic efficacy in prediction mortality. retrospective analyzed data from 1236 patients undergoing HD four blood purification centers China. It investigated including pan-immune-inflammation...
Abstract Introduction The elevated mortality and hospitalization rates among hemodialysis (HD) patients underscore the necessity for development of accurate predictive tools. This study developed two models predicting all‐cause time to death—one using a comprehensive database another simpler model based on demographic clinical data without laboratory tests. Method A retrospective cohort was conducted from January 2017 June 2023. Two were created: Model with 85 variables B 22 variables. We...
Background Oxidative stress is a key contributor to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The oxidative balance score (OBS) an emerging composite assessment tool for dietary and lifestyle balance. We aimed explore association OBS CKD prevalence MetS this national cross-sectional analysis. Methods This was Eligible participants ≥20 years age from NHANES 1999–2018 were included. assessed according previous well-validated methods...
Vascular calcification (VC), especially coronary artery (CAC), serves as a robust predictor of cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Recent studies have revealed that the presence extra-coronary calcifications (ECCs) contributes to (CVD). Elevated myocardial injury markers predict risk CKD patients and are associated with CVD. Nevertheless, relationship between VC, including CAC ECCs, remain unexplored non-dialysis In 278 stage G3 G5, we assessed calcified scores...
Abstract Background: The clinical importance of hypokalemia is likely underrecognized in Chinese dialysis patients, and whether its effect was mediated by serum albumin not fully elucidated. This study aimed to explore the association between serum. Methods: a prospective nation-wide multicenter cohort study. Restricted cubic splines were used test linearity potassium relationships with all-cause (AC) cardiovascular (CV) mortality subsequent two-line piecewise linear model fitted approach...
Currently, three expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prosthetic graft types are most commonly used for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who require long-term vascular access hemodialysis. However, studies comparing the ePTFE grafts limited. This study compared clinical efficacy and postoperative complications of upper limb arteriovenous (AVG) surgery among ESKD. Patients ESKD requiring AVG admitted to our center between January 2016 September 2019 were enrolled. Overall,...
