...Fengqin Li; Miao Ding; Yanzhe Wang; Qijie Chen; Yue Wu; Chuchu Zeng; Nan Zhang; Dingyu Zhu; Xiaoxia Wang Introduction: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) frequently occurs in haemodialysis patients and is associated with adverse outcomes. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been recently proposed...

... haemodialysis, and particularly on dialysis days. Intradialytic exercise programmes could be a solution to this issue and have been reported to be safe and relatively easily implemented in dialysis clinics. Nevertheless, such implementation has been failing in part due to barriers such as the lack of funding...

... with an unpaired Student’s t test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Echocardiography End-stage renal disease Haemodialysis Left ventricle Vascular-arterial coupling LV M-mode images were obtained from 2D images with parasternal long-axis views. End-diastolic LV free wall thickness...

...Fernando Carrera; Stefan H Jacobson; Joana Costa; Marco Marques; Francisco Ferrer Introduction: The antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in haemodialysis (HD) patients is diminished compared to healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to compare the presence of reactive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies...

... of patients in maintenance haemodialysis who received ultrasound-guided PTA for AVF stenosis at our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analysed. The fistula patency and the relationship between age, dialysis age, fistula service age, combined hypertension, diabetes...

...). Methods: In the present study, we perform a 4-year study of patients who received peritoneal dialysis (PD) or haemodialysis (HD) at the Paediatric Nephrology Unit of the University College Hospital Ibadan, Nigeria. Subgroup analysis was performed on patients with sepsis or malaria AKI who underwent HD...

... and compared PBUTs removal among conventional haemodialysis (HD), adsorption-based HD, displacement-based HD, and their 2 combinations both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The removal of PBUTs, including 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furan-propanoic acid (CMPF), p-cresyl sulphate (PCS), indoxyl sulphate...

...Venkata R. Latha Gullapudi; Kelly White; Jill Stewart; Paul Stewart; Mohammed T. Eldehni; Maarten W. Taal; Nicholas M. Selby Background: Higher beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP) variation during haemodialysis (HD) has been shown to be associated with elevated cardiac damage markers and white matter...

... was preferred. Both patients were clinically stable at the time of arrest. Death could not be attributed to worsening of the COVID-19 since the patients’ clinical picture and laboratory values were improving. The cardiac events coincided with the end of routine haemodialysis sessions of both patients...

... the current effective delivered dose using a simpler, cheaper and faster approach based on measurement of fluoride rather than urea extracorporeal Cl. Methods: We compared urea and fluoride removal in 3 post-dilution continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) and 3 continuous veno-venous haemodialysis...

...Yawen Mo; Li Song; Chunyan Sun; Jingya Huang; Lifang Zhou; Shuqian Zheng; Tingting Zhuang; Yuanhan Chen; Shuangxin Liu; Xinling Liang; Xia Fu Background: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) have been the main vascular accesses for haemodialysis patients, but the maintenance after maturation poses serious...

... to deposit Ca in bones. Calcitonin also inhibits renal reabsorption of Ca and inhibits Ca absorption in the intestines. These processes lead to a decrease in Ca. In haemodialysis (HD) patients, the regulation of Ca balance is highly complex, given abnormalities in PTH and calcitriol levels, and the use...

.... Biocompatibility Blood purification Citrate Haemodialysis Haemoglobin Heparin Standard haemodialysis (HD) is performed with heparin or low molecular weight heparin to avoid clotting of the extracorporeal circuit [ 1 ]. Another option is to use citrate as anticoagulation [ 2 ]. This can be performed...

Lindner; Franz Maximilian Rasche Background/Aims: The position of the tip of tunnelled haemodialysis (HD) catheters (THC) might influence flow characteristics during HD. In chest...

...Indranil Dasgupta; Mitesh Patel; Nuredin Mohammed; Jyoti Baharani; Thejasvi Subramanian; G. Neil Thomas; George Tadros Introduction: Cognitive impairment (CI) is very common condition that occurs in haemodialysis patients and it is associated with reduced functional capacity and mortality. We...

... CKD and ESRD is associated with an increase in Mg concentration [ 25 ]. The increased intake of certain dietary fibres may enhance mineral and thus Mg absorption [ 26 ]. Use of low-Mg dialysate (0.25 mmol/L or 0.5 mEq/L) is a risk factor for hypomagnesaemia in patients on both haemodialysis (HD...

...Kamonwan Tangvoraphonkchai; Andrew Davenport Many patients with chronic kidney disease start undergoing thrice-weekly haemodialysis (HD), aiming for an HD sessional dialyzer urea clearance target, irrespective of whether they have residual renal function (RRF). While increasing sessional dialyzer...

...Charles Chazot; Cyril Vo-Van; Christie Lorriaux; Patrik Deleaval; Brice Mayor; Jean-Marc Hurot; Guillaume Jean Background: Several studies report that fluid removal rate (FRR) above 10-13 mL/h/kg is associated with increased mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Aim: The aims of this study...

...Indranil Dasgupta; Ken Farrington; Simon J. Davies; Andrew Davenport; Sandip Mitra Background: Fluid management in haemodialysis (HD) affects patient experience, morbidity and mortality. Standards for best practice are lacking. A national survey of the United Kingdom was undertaken to define...

...Adil M. Hazara; Samantha J. Owen; Sunil Bhandari Background/Aims: Haemoglobin (Hb) targets have been reduced in patients receiving haemodialysis (HD). We have investigated the impact of new guidance on current practices and costs. Methods: Anaemia management in all patients undergoing thrice-weekly...
