... is a critical factor for the transition of AKI into chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore the aim of the present study was to evaluate serum Nostrin levels in CKD patients. Methods: Blood samples were collected from CKD patients before and after dialysis, and serum Nostrin levels were determined using ELISAs...

... not exceed 2–3 film-coated tablets per day.” Inami and colleagues [ 49 ] conducted a pharmacokinetic study on a dialysis patient undergoing SSZ therapy. The study revealed no significant elimination of the substance through dialysis. However, the AUC0>infinity for the metabolites 5-aminosalicylic acid...

... insight into its mechanism of action. So far, there has been limited research done on investigating the extra-renal effects of SGLT2i in human subjects on dialysis where the glycosuric renal effects of SGLT2i are negligible. This current study therefore aims to investigate the effects of SGLT2i on the SNS...

Finally, the involvement of the personnel and the health professionals in properly managing the exercise interventions and the related factors (location, modality, dose, intensity, and duration) might improve the patients’ participation. In particular...

...Ching-Chung Hsiao; Chuan-Yi Chou; Ji-Tseng Fang; Shih-Chieh Chang; Kuo-Cheng Liu; Shu-Chun Huang Introduction: Disparities in physical fitness between immediately before dialysis (pre-D) and the day following dialysis (non-D) have not been investigated despite potential adverse factors...

... of non-occluded Fi at the contralateral arm, prosthetic arteriovenous grafts and central venous catheters. PWA including PWV measurement and duplex sonography were conducted at the Fi and nFi arm. All measurements took place during a haemodialysis procedure in the Diavital dialysis unit in Kamen...

... to stratify patients with a worse prognosis. In the multivariate cox regression analysis with adjusted models, VCAM-1 (OR 1.13 [CI 95%: 1.01–1.27]; p = 0.034) and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio (OR 4.87 [CI 95%: 1.732–13.719]; p = 0.003) were associated with the need for dialysis. Conclusion: Vascular biomarkers, mostly...

... Gentile; Gennaro Clemente; Giovambattista Capasso Introduction: Since the pandemic of COVID-19 started from December 2019, remarkable numbers of infections and deaths associated with COVID-19 have been recorded worldwide. End-stage kidney disease patients on dialysis are particularly at high risk...

... in wealthier countries. We developed and validated a risk score in elderly patients to predict 6-month mortality after dialysis initiation. Methods: We used data from a cohort of 421 patients, aged 65 years and over who started dialysis between 2009 and 2016, in our Nephrology department. The predictive score...

... wall structure, and thus an individual pressure-independent expression of PWV is essential. Methods: The study is a single-center observational study. Repeated measurements of blood pressure (BP) and pulse wave analysis were performed during each dialysis session of 1 week. Aortic PWV was then adjusted...

...Yuan Zu; Xiangxue Lu; Jinghong Song; Ling Yu; Han Li; Shixiang Wang Objective: To assess the long-term effects including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and fracture incidence, of cinacalcet on secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients on dialysis.

... renal disease and often accomplished by hemodialysis (HD) using a central venous catheter (CVC). Urgent start using peritoneal dialysis (PD) could be an alternative for some of the patients; however, this requires a hospital-based PD center that offers a structured urgent start PD (usPD) program...

... on maintenance dialysis. In each session, IPVD was calculated by using an intradialytic change in hematocrit, and IPVD in pre-ol-HDF and post-ol-HDF was compared with that in HD in a crossover manner. Results: While the ratios of intradialytic body weight loss to post-dialysis BW (IBWL/BW) in ol-HDF were...
