...Damien Ashby; Richard Corbett; Neill Duncan Introduction: Excessive ultrafiltration is associated with intra-dialytic symptoms, loss of residual function, and mortality in haemodialysis patients. A major contributor to excessive ultrafiltration is within-individual variation in pre-dialysis weight...

...Yusupha Sanyang; Mamina Sambou Maintenance haemodialysis is the most common form of renal replacement therapy treatment in Sub-Saharan Africa. In spite of this, there is a general inadequacy for patients receiving this form of therapy due to lack of materials, human resources and funding from...

... with CKD. This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of several frailty screening methods in patients with CKD G4–5 and those established on haemodialysis (G5D). Methods: Ninety participants with CKD G4–5D were recruited from Nephrology Outpatient Clinics and 2 Haemodialysis Units between December 2016...

...) from the screening phase of a multicentre randomised placebo-controlled trial of sertraline in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Four hundred seventy patients completed the MFI-20, which purports to measure 5 components of fatigue (general fatigue, mental fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced motivation...

...Kamonwan Tangvoraphonkchai; Andrew Davenport Introduction: Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) devices are being used to determine ultrafiltration requirements to achieve target weight for haemodialysis (HD) patients. Pre-dialysis measurements are more convenient for both patients and staff...

...David Keane; Paul Chamney; Stefanie Heinke; Elizabeth Lindley Background: Fluid management is a central aspect of haemodialysis (HD). Body composition monitor (BCM)-measured overhydration (OH) can improve fluid management strategies, but there remains uncertainty about its use in subjects with high...

...Guillaume Jean; Charles Chazot; Eric Bresson; Eric Zaoui; Etienne Cavalier Background: Sclerostin is an osteocyte hormone that decreases osteoblastogenesis. Sclerostin may play a key role in osteoporosis and also in vascular calcification (VC). In chronic kidney disease and haemodialysis (HD...

...Simon W. Lines; Victoria R. Richardson; Bryn Thomas; Emma J. Dunn; Mark J. Wright; Angela M. Carter Background: Patients on haemodialysis (HD) have high rates of cardiovascular (CV) disease and activation of the complement system. Despite evidence in non-renal patients that these may be linked...

...Guillaume Jean; Brice Mayor; Patrik Deleaval; Christie Lorriaux; Jean-Marc Hurot; Eric Bresson; Charles Chazot Background: We previously reported that vascular calcification (VC) score was associated with mortality in patients on haemodialysis (HD) and that a high serum level of parathyroid hormone...

...Charles Chazot; Judith Kirchgessner; Jenny Pham; Cyril Vo-Van; Christie Lorriaux; Jean-Marc Hurot; Eric Zaoui; Aileen Grassmann; Guillaume Jean; Daniele Marcelli Survival of haemodialysis (HD) patients is influenced by many factors. Mortality is mainly of cardiovascular (CV) origin and related...

.... Arteriovenous access Arteriovenous fistula Arteriovenous shunt Haemodialysis Vascular access thrombosis Arteriovenous access is the preferred mode of VA for HD, especially autologous fistulae (AVFs). Annually, 14% of AVFs and between 50-80% grafts (AVGs) fail acutely [ 1 ]. This often leads...

... of the study was to compare the survival of incident patients on high-volume HDF (HV-HDF) with high-flux haemodialysis (HD) in a large-scale European dialysis population. Methods: The study population was extracted from 47,979 patients in 369 NephroCare centres throughout 12 countries. Baseline was six months...

...A. Hornych; P. Rémy; N. Luong; J. Aumont; J. Bariéty The aim of our study was (1) to verify whether haemodialysis (HD) with cuprophane (CUP) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes is associated with the release of vasoactive leukotriene (LT) C 4 and chemotactic LTB 4 and (2) to analyse...

... In a double-blind cross-over trial, 22 stable end-stage renal failure patients on maintenance haemodialysis were subjected to conventional dialysis with dialysate containing 137 mEq/l sodium and constant ultrafiltration (UF) and to a different dialysis therapy, in which, by linear sodium modelling...
