... and Treatment: A new evolving field, namely Onconephrology, has emerged during the last few years, including the broad spectrum of renal disorders that can arise in patients with cancer. Nephrologists have become an indispensable part of the multidisciplinary cancer care teams, but a clear and updated...

... or an open technique. However, with recent advances in endoscopic instrumentation and video capabilities, peritoneoscope Tenckhoff catheter insertion has become a viable approach in interventional nephrologist-initiated PD access programmes. Summary: Nephrologist-initiated peritoneoscopic PD access...

... Abstract Once, vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis treatment was initiated by nephrologists:Scribner introduced the arteriovenous shunt, Shaldon the central-venous catheters andBrescia-Cimino the arteriovenous fistula. Later on, creating VA became a domain of surgery.Many nephrologists felt...

Twoareas are the main focus of attention by these specialists: vascular access education andaccess-related percutaneous interventions. Vascular access-related procedures commonly performedby nephrologists include percutaneous...

... patients more flexibility and empowerment. Nonetheless, their remote nature and intrinsic problematic visibility to therapy-related issues occurring at home contribute to holding back both patients and nephrologists from adopting them. RPM has recently become available in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD...

... Abstract The initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) requires that the nephrologist address certainkey issues. These include patient selection for PD, the timing of the placement of the PDcatheter, the timing of the initiation of PD, the schedule of PD to be utilized, and the initialregimen...
