In patients with ESRD, the effects of online hemodiafiltration on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events are unclear. this prospective study, we randomly assigned 714 chronic hemodialysis to postdilution (n=358) or continue low-flux (n=356). The primary outcome measure was mortality. main secondary endpoint a composite major events, including death from causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, therapeutic coronary intervention, carotid vascular amputation. After mean 3.0 years...
Inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) reduces the risk cardiovascular problems in patients with chronic renal failure. This effect may be due part to a decrease sympathetic nervous activity, but no direct evidence such an action is available.
Vascular access standards are predominantly based on older, single-center reports; however, the hemodialysis population has changed dramatically and primary arteriovenous fistula failure is a huge problem. This prospective, multicenter study used standardized definitions to analyze patency rates potential risk factors that affect functional late functionality.Eleven centers participated in guidelines implementation program. All new permanent vascular accesses were included. Patency patency,...
Globally, the number of patients undergoing maintenance dialysis is increasing, yet throughout world there significant variability in practice initiating dialysis. Factors such as availability resources, reasons for starting dialysis, timing initiation, patient education and preparedness, modality access, well varied "country-specific" factors significantly affect experiences outcomes. As burden end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has increased globally, also been a growing recognition...

The general objective assigned to the EUropean DIALlysis (EUDIAL) Working Group by European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) was enhance quality of dialysis therapies in Europe broadest possible sense. Given increasing interest convective therapies, has started focusing on haemodiafiltration (HDF) therapies. Several reports suggest that those potentially improve outcomes for end-stage renal disease patients. is leader field, having introduced concept...
Several studies have suggested that patients with kidney failure may benefit from high-dose hemodiafiltration as compared standard hemodialysis. However, given the limitations of various published studies, additional data are needed.
Approximately 8–18% of all patients with high blood pressure (BP) are apparently resistant to drug treatment.1,2 In this situation, new strategies help reduce BP urgently needed but the complex pathophysiology hypertension makes search difficult. Not surprisingly in context, latest non-drug treatment which triggered controversy is catheter-based renal denervation (RDN).3,4 The method uses radiofrequency energy, or alternatively ultrasound chemical denervation, disrupt nerves within artery...
Functional renal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen a number of recent advances, and techniques are now available that can generate quantitative biomarkers with the potential to improve management kidney disease. Such sensitive changes in blood flow, tissue perfusion, oxygenation microstructure (including inflammation fibrosis), processes important range diseases including chronic However, several challenges remain move these towards clinical adoption, from technical validation...
