The worldwide prevalence of maintenance hemodialysis continues to rise. An adequate delivery dose as measured by Kt/V or urea reduction ratio is a crucial determinant clinical outcome for chronic patients. aim this study was assess the adequacy and its associated factors among patients undergoing in Dar es Salaam. This cross-sectional done on four dialysis centers Sociodemographic information treatment characteristics were collected. Urea rate single-pool calculated determine hemodialysis....
Introduction Hemodialysis is a crucial renal replacement therapy option for end stage disease (ESRD) patients. Currently, there rise of patients who require hemodialysis with concurrent in intradialytic complications which can potentiate several outcomes some are life threatening. This study assessed the frequency, predictors, and amongst ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis. Methodology Prospective longitudinal using self-designed questionnaires including patient’s demographic data relevant...
The emergence of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused millions deaths worldwide. There been paucity data for hospitalized African patients suffering from COVID-19. This study aimed to identify factors associated with in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 Tanzania.This was a single center, retrospective, observational cohort adult confirmed infection. Demographics, clinical pattern, laboratory and radiological investigations increased odds were analyzed.Of 157 patients, 107...
Endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) is an infection of the tracheobronchial tree by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It common among young females. Patient can present with fever, cough, wheeze, or without any constitutional symptoms. presents as a diagnostic dilemma, patient sputum smear be false negative. CT scan may not show abnormality, endobronchial lesion. Bronchoscopy bronchoalveolar lavage and biopsy offers choice. We hereby report case immunocompetent Asian female who was found to have...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) a minimally-invasive lifesaving for these patients; however, acute kidney injury (AKI) serious complication procedure commonly occurring due to radiocontrast-induced nephropathy.A retrospective cross-sectional analytical study was carried out at Aga Khan Hospital, Dar es Salaam (AKH,D), Tanzania. A total 227 adults who underwent percutaneous from August 2014...
Abstract: Smartwatches like the Apple Watch have been on rise worldwide and their use is gaining popularity in developing countries. Their ability to detect dysrhythmias well documented. Present practice discourages of these devices as a diagnostic tool. Nevertheless, atypical findings from should be clinically investigated. This case demonstrates an eventual diagnosis supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) based watch alert which was subsequently confirmed by electrophysiological evaluation....
Over the past 20 years there has been growing awareness of community-acquired primary liver abscess caused by strains Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) especially in patients Asian descent, a minority which are characterized metastatic spread. A common and frequent destructive complication is endophthalmitis as well involvement central nervous system (CNS), causing suppurative meningitis or brain abscess.

Low and middle-income countries including those in sub-Saharan (SSA) Africa are experiencing a steady increase the number of COVID-19 cases. To best our knowledge, reports related strokes scarce SSA. The peculiar situation stroke care SSA makes associated bothersome entity as it adds other dynamics that tilt prognostic balance. We present case series COVID -19 3 patients from Tanzania. emphasized protected code protocol.
Background Illness predictive scoring systems are significant and meaningful adjuncts of patient management in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). They assist predicting outcomes, improve clinical decision making provide insight into effectiveness care patients while optimizing use hospital resources. We evaluated mortality performance Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS 3) Mortality Probability Models (MPM 0 -III) compared their outcome as well identifying disease pattern factors associated...
Introduction: Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. In Diabetics, ASCVD associated with poor prognosis and a higher case fatality rate compared general population. Sub-Saharan Africa facing an epidemiological transition being prevalent among young adults. To date, over 20 million people have been living DM in Africa, Tanzania one five countries continent reported to prevalence. This study aimed identify individual’s 10-year absolute risk...
