Top dialysis Articles in Nephrology

Association of Dialysis Modality and Cardiovascular Mortality in Incident Dialysis Patients
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 10/06/2009
Johnson DW et al. – Dialysis modality is significantly associated with the risk, causes, and timing of CV death experienced by ESRD patients in Australia and New Zealand. [more...]

Hospitalizations in Patients Treated Sequentially by Chronic Hemodialysis and Continuous Peritoneal Dialysis
Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis, 10/21/2009
Adeniyi M et al. – Another dialysis modality that should be compared with PD for rates of hospitalizations is home HD. So far, the relatively small studies published have reported lower rates of hospitalization for home HD (14–16). Comparison of home dialysis modalities ... area in which further studies are needed. [more...]

Is Maximum Conservative Management an Equivalent Treatment Option to Dialysis for Elderly Patients with Significant Comorbid Disease
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 10/08/2009
Carson RC et al. – Dialysis prolongs survival for elderly patients who have ESRD with significant comorbidity by approximately 2 yr; however, patients who ... numbers of hospital–free days to patients who choose hemodialysis. [more...]

Medication Apprehension and Compliance among Dialysis Patients - A Comprehensive Guidance Attitude
Nephron: Clinical Practice, 11/06/2009
Katzir Z et al. – Dialysis patients appear to benefit from receiving comprehensive guidance about medications, in terms of compliance with medications and blood chemistry and hematology measures. [more...]

Health-related quality of life in dialysis patients with HCV infection
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 10/30/2009
Fabrizi F et al. – Whether the adverse influence of HCV on survival in dialysis population is related to the negative impact of HCV on HRQOL requires further research. Information on HRQOL indices in patients with HCV on maintenance dialysis is ... limited but the available evidence shows that HCV infection impairs HRQOL, especially in mental aspects, among patients on maintenance hemodialysis. [more...]

Effect of high-normal compared with low-normal arterial pH on protein balances in automated peritoneal dialysis patients
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 10/29/2009
Mehrotra R et al. – This study suggests that in most stable automated peritoneal dialysis patients, a mean arterial pH of 7.44, as compared with 7.37, is associated with more–positive nitrogen balances. [more...]

Sevelamer carbonate increases serum bicarbonate in pediatric dialysis patients
Pediatric Nephrology, 11/03/2009
Gonzalez E et al. – The results demonstrate that sevelamer carbonate is an effective phosphate binder that improves acid–base status in pediatric dialysis patients. [more...]

The composition of dialysate
British Journal of Renal Medicine, 10/27/2009
of waste products from the blood, exchange of electrolytes between the blood and the dialysis fluid, and the partial restoration of acid–base equilibrium occurs across a semipermeable membrane. Dialysis fluid is derived from mixing treated tap water with electrolytes and a buffer. Historically, it ... by a proportionating system, as part of the dialysis monitor. [more...]

Assessing Cardiovascular Disease in the Dialysis Patient
Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis, 10/27/2009
Baig SZ et al. – The role of natriuretic peptides as a cardiovascular risk predictor in dialysis patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome has not been extensively studied. [more...]

Peritoneal Dialysis Patients with High Effluent Fibrin Degradation Products
Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis, 10/19/2009
Moriishi M et al. – In peritoneal dialysis patients with a high eFDP level, steroid therapy effectively led to a decline in eFDPs. We suggest that peritoneal dialysis patients with an eFDP level above 40 microg/mL ... in cases in which a high eFDP level has persisted for a prolonged period followed by a further increase. Thus, steroids should be administered in the earliest phase of elevation in the eFDP level. Further work is needed to determine the optimal dose of steroid. [more...]
