... Abstract Background: Home hemodialysis (HHD) is rapidly becoming more widespread because HHD programs enable patients to receive a sufficient dialysis dose to improve their quality of life and survival rate without compromising their lifestyle. Summary: Although HHD in Japan has a long...

.... An innovative OCTA algorithm that aims to provide improved detection sensitivity of low blood flow and reduced motion artifacts without compromising axial resolution has recently been developed by Topcon (Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Topcon's OCTA implementation further benefits from being paired...

... as of the end of 2013 in Japan, comprising only 0.1% of all dialysis patients in this country.

The Japanese Society for Home Hemodialysis was established in 1998 and formed the following 3...

... Abstract The results of a nationwide statistical survey of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in Japan (PD registry) were reported at the end of 2012. There were 9,514 PD patients at the end of 2012 (3.1%), indicating 128 fewer than in the 2011 survey (9,642 patients). There were 347 non-PD+catheter...

... hemodialysis (MHD) for end-stage kidney disease in Japan. There were two aims: a socioeconomic evaluation of online hemodiafiltration (HDF) in the medical system and an analysis of MHD with respect to the primary diseases of chronic kidney disease. We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis based on quality...

... Abstract Background: Many patients are receiving long-term hemodialysis (HD) or hemodiafiltration (HDF) treatment in Japan. Vascular access is a lifeline for patients on HD or HDF, and proper maintenance of vascular access is one of the key factors that make long-term HD and HDF possible...

Materials and Methods...

... Abstract According to a nationwide statistical survey in Japan, only 9,858 patients (3.3% of dialysis patients) were on maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD) at the end of 2009. In this survey, 8,635 patients answered questions about the PD method, while 1,223 patients did not respond. In Japan...

... Abstract Peritoneal dialysis (PD) guidelines for Japan were first published by the Japanese Society for Dialysis Treatment in 2009. They presented a concrete frame of PD practiced in Japan and stressed the timing of PD introduction as well as the clinical point of transfer to other modalities...

... Abstract Home hemodialysis (HHD) started in Japan in 1969. It has been done in the largest number of patients with the purpose of better social reintegration, followed by patients for whom commuting to a hospital is geographically difficult. In a subanalysis of the JSDT patient registry...
