Late referral of end-stage renal failure. (1/8259)

We studied all new patients accepted for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in one unit from 1/1/96 to 31/12/97 (n = 198), to establish time from nephrology referral to RRT, evidence of renal disease prior to referral and the adequacy of renal management prior to referral. Sixty four (32.3%, late referral group) required RRT within 12 weeks of referral. Fifty-nine (29.8%) had recognizable signs of chronic renal failure > 26 weeks prior to referral. Patients starting RRT soon after referral were hospitalized for significantly longer on starting RRT (RRT within 12 weeks of referral, median hospitalization 25.0 days (n = 64); RRT > 12 weeks after referral, median 9.7 days (n = 126), (p < 0.001)). Observed survival at 1 year was 68.3% overall, with 1-year survival of the late referral and early referral groups being 60.5% and 72.5%, respectively (p = NS). Hypertension was found in 159 patients (80.3%): 46 (28.9%) were started on antihypertensive medication following referral, while a further 28 (17.6%) were started on additional antihypertensives. Of the diabetic population (n = 78), only 26 (33.3%) were on an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) at referral. Many patients are referred late for dialysis despite early signs of renal failure, and the pre-referral management of many of the patients, as evidenced by the treatment of hypertension and use of ACEI in diabetics, is less than optimal.  (+info)

Impaired lysosomal processing of beta2-microglobulin by infiltrating macrophages in dialysis amyloidosis. (2/8259)

BACKGROUND: Macrophages may participate in amyloid fibril formation by processing the protein precursor. Although this theory seems to apply for amyloidosis, in which proteolytic cleavage is a prerequisite for amyloid fibril formation, it has not been demonstrated for beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) amyloidosis. We aimed to establish the role played by macrophages in beta2m amyloidosis. METHODS: We used a double immunogold electron microscopy technique, including mouse antihuman CD68, rabbit antihuman beta2m, amyloid P component, and lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP-1) antibodies. Differential density labeling studies of beta2m and amyloid P component were performed extra- and intracellularly to assess protein processing by macrophages. RESULTS: The cells surrounding amyloid fibrils were found to be mostly CD68 positive, suggesting that they were of monocyte-macrophage lineage. Intracellular accumulation of amyloid fibrils was also observed; these fibrils were constantly surrounded by LAMP-1-linked gold particles, demonstrating that intracellular beta2m was almost exclusively lysosomal. The rough-surface endoplasmic reticulum was not labeled by beta2m antibody, suggesting that there was no active synthesis of beta2m by the cells. As a marker of endocytosis, protruded cytoplasmic processes in close relation with the intracellular accumulations of beta2m amyloid fibrils were observed. No difference in density labeling (extracellular vs. intracellular) was observed for beta2m, whereas intracellular P component labeling was significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS: All of these data are strongly suggestive of phagocytosis and not synthesis of amyloid fibrils by macrophages. Further, they demonstrate an impaired lysosomal processing specific for beta2m, as other compounds of the amyloid fibrils (P component) are significantly cleared.  (+info)

Septicemia in dialysis patients: incidence, risk factors, and prognosis. (3/8259)

BACKGROUND: Infection is second to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and septicemia causes a majority of these infectious deaths. To identify patients at high risk and to characterize modifiable risk factors for septicemia, we examined the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis for septicemia in a large, representative group of U.S. dialysis patients. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of incident ESRD patients in the case-mix study of the U.S. Renal Data System with seven years of follow-up from hospitalization and death records. Poisson regression was used to examine independent risk factors for hospital-managed septicemia. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the independent effect of septicemia on all-cause mortality and on death from septicemia. Separate analyses were performed for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD). RESULTS: Over seven years of follow-up, 11.7% of 4005 HD patients and 9.4% of 913 PD patients had at least one episode of septicemia. Older age and diabetes were independent risk factors for septicemia in all patients. Among HD patients, low serum albumin, temporary vascular access, and dialyzer reuse were also associated with increased risk. Among PD patients, white race and having no health insurance at dialysis initiation were also risk factors. Patients with septicemia had twice the risk of death from any cause and a fivefold to ninefold increased risk of death from septicemia. CONCLUSIONS: Septicemia, which carries a marked increased risk of death, occurs frequently in patients on PD as well as HD. Early referral to a nephrologist, improving nutrition, and avoiding temporary vascular access may decrease the incidence of septicemia. Further study of how race, insurance status, and dialyzer reuse can contribute to the risk of septicemia among ESRD patients is indicated.  (+info)

Hemodialysis with high-calcium dialysate impairs cardiac relaxation. (4/8259)

BACKGROUND: During hemodialysis (HD), serum ionized calcium is directly related to the dialysate calcium concentration. We have recently shown an acute induction of hypercalcemia to impair left ventricular (LV) relaxation. In the current study we sought to establish whether changes in serum Ca++ also affect LV function during HD. METHODS: We echocardiographically examined the LV relaxation and systolic function of 12 patients with end-stage renal disease before and after three HD treatments with dialysate Ca++ concentrations of 1.25 mmol/liter (dCa++1.25), 1.5 mmol/liter (dCa++1.50), and 1.75 mmol/liter (dCa++1.75), respectively. Age- and sex-matched healthy controls were also examined echocardiographically. RESULTS: The LV posterior wall thickness and the interventricular septum thickness, and the LV end-diastolic dimension and the end-systolic dimensions were significantly greater in the patients when compared with the controls, and the LV fractional shortening, the ratio of peak early to peak late diastolic velocities (E/Amax), and the isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) showed impairment of LV relaxation and systolic function in the patients. Serum ionized calcium increased significantly during the dCa++1.5 HD (1.24 +/- 0.10 vs. 1.34 +/- 0.06 mmol/liter, P = 0. 004) and dCa++1.75 HD (1.19 +/- 0.10 vs. 1.47 +/- 0.06 mmol/liter, P = 0.002), and plasma intact parathyroid hormone decreased significantly during the dCa++1.75 HD (medians 8.2 vs. 2.7 pmol/liter, P = 0.002). LV systolic function was not altered during any of the treatments. The changes in E/Amax and IVRT suggested impairment of relaxation during all sessions, but only during the dCa++1.75 HD was the impairment statistically significant (E/Amax 1. 153 +/- 0.437 vs. 0.943 +/- 0.352, P < 0.05; IVRT 147 +/- 29 vs. 175 +/- 50 msecond, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: HD with high-calcium (dCa++1. 75 mmol/liter) dialysate impairs LV relaxation when compared with lower calcium dialysate (dCa++1.25 and dCa++1.5 mmol/liter) treatments.  (+info)

Activation of the kallikrein-kinin system in hemodialysis: role of membrane electronegativity, blood dilution, and pH. (5/8259)

BACKGROUND: The kallikrein-kinin system activation by contact with a negatively charged surface has been promulgated to be responsible for hypersensitivity reactions. However, to explain the low frequency and heterogeneity of hypersensitivity reactions, we hypothesized that not only the electronegativity of the membrane, but also other physicochemical parameters could influence the activation of the contact phase system of plasma assessed by the measurement of kallikrein activity and bradykinin concentration. METHODS: Plasma kallikrein activity using chromogenic substrate (S2302) and plasma bradykinin concentration (enzyme immuno assay) were measured during the perfusion of human plasma (2.5 ml/min) through minidialyzers mounted with six different membranes [polyacrylonitrile (PAN) from Asahi (PANDX) and from Hospal (AN69), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) from Toray, cellulose triacetate (CT) from Baxter, cuprophane (CUP) from Akzo and polysulfone (PS) from Fresenius]. RESULTS: A direct relationship was shown between the electronegativity of the membrane assessed by its zeta potential and the activation of plasma during the first five minutes of plasma circulation. With the AN69 membrane, the detection of a kallikrein activity in diluted plasma but not in undiluted samples confirmed the importance of a protease-antiprotease imbalance leading to bradykinin release during the first five minutes of dialysis. With PAN membranes, the use of citrated versus heparinized plasma and the use of various rinsing solutions clearly show a dramatic effect of pH on the kallikrein activity and the bradykinin concentration measured in plasma. Finally, increasing the zeta potential of the membrane leads to a significant increase of plasma kallikrein activity and bradykinin concentration. CONCLUSIONS: Our in vitro experimental approach evidences the importance of the control of these physicochemical factors to decrease the activation of the contact system.  (+info)

Practice patterns, case mix, Medicare payment policy, and dialysis facility costs. (6/8259)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of case mix, practice patterns, features of the payment system, and facility characteristics on the cost of dialysis. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING: The nationally representative sample of dialysis units in the 1991 U.S. Renal Data System's Case Mix Adequacy (CMA) Study. The CMA data were merged with data from Medicare Cost Reports, HCFA facility surveys, and HCFA's end-stage renal disease patient registry. STUDY DESIGN: We estimated a statistical cost function to examine the determinants of costs at the dialysis unit level. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The relationship between case mix and costs was generally weak. However, dialysis practices (type of dialysis membrane, membrane reuse policy, and treatment duration) did have a significant effect on costs. Further, facilities whose payment was constrained by HCFA's ceiling on the adjustment for area wage rates incurred higher costs than unconstrained facilities. The costs of hospital-based units were considerably higher than those of freestanding units. Among chain units, only members of one of the largest national chains exhibited significant cost savings relative to independent facilities. CONCLUSIONS: Little evidence showed that adjusting dialysis payment to account for differences in case mix across facilities would be necessary to ensure access to care for high-cost patients or to reimburse facilities equitably for their costs. However, current efforts to increase dose of dialysis may require higher payments. Longer treatments appear to be the most economical method of increasing the dose of dialysis. Switching to more expensive types of dialysis membranes was a more costly means of increasing dose and hence must be justified by benefits beyond those of higher dose. Reusing membranes saved money, but the savings were insufficient to offset the costs associated with using more expensive membranes. Most, but not all, of the higher costs observed in hospital-based units appear to reflect overhead cost allocation rather than a difference in real resources devoted to treatment. The economies experienced by the largest chains may provide an explanation for their recent growth in market share. The heterogeneity of results by chain size implies that characterizing units using a simple chain status indicator variable is inadequate. Cost differences by facility type and the effects of the ongoing growth of large chains are worthy of continued monitoring to inform both payment policy and antitrust enforcement.  (+info)

Ex vivo evaluation of a Taylor-Couette flow, immobilized heparinase I device for clinical application. (7/8259)

Efficient and safe heparin anticoagulation has remained a problem for continuous renal replacement therapies and intermittent hemodialysis for patients with acute renal failure. To make heparin therapy safer for the patient with acute renal failure at high risk of bleeding, we have proposed regional heparinization of the circuit via an immobilized heparinase I filter. This study tested a device based on Taylor-Couette flow and simultaneous separation/reaction for efficacy and safety of heparin removal in a sheep model. Heparinase I was immobilized onto agarose beads via cyanogen bromide activation. The device, referred to as a vortex flow plasmapheretic reactor, consisted of two concentric cylinders, a priming volume of 45 ml, a microporous membrane for plasma separation, and an outer compartment where the immobilized heparinase I was fluidized separately from the blood cells. Manual white cell and platelet counts, hematocrit, total protein, and fibrinogen assays were performed. Heparin levels were indirectly measured via whole-blood recalcification times (WBRTs). The vortex flow plasmapheretic reactor maintained significantly higher heparin levels in the extracorporeal circuit than in the sheep (device inlet WBRTs were 1. 5 times the device outlet WBRTs) with no hemolysis. The reactor treatment did not effect any physiologically significant changes in complete blood cell counts, platelets, and protein levels for up to 2 hr of operation. Furthermore, gross necropsy and histopathology did not show any significant abnormalities in the kidney, liver, heart, brain, and spleen.  (+info)

Hepatitis virus infection in haemodialysis patients from Moldavia. (8/8259)

BACKGROUND: Although the epidemiology of hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) now seems well established for Western European countries, in Central and Eastern Europe < 50% of all dialysis centres routinely test for hepatitis C antibodies since testing is not available or is not applied to all patients. This study describes the prevalence, risk factors and clinical significance of HBV and HCV infection for the haemodialysis population of the North Eastern region of Romania, Moldavia. METHODS: The presence of HBV antigens was determined with an ELISA kit (Wellcome, Abbot) and HCV antibodies with the ELISA-3 Ortho-HCV, third generation test. The following individual data were collected: gender, age, duration of dialysis, rural/urban domicile, actual and previous HBV status, actual HCV status, known acute, clinically evident hepatitis episodes in the last 3 years, monthly alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) levels, complete biochemical hepatic assessment at the time of the study, transfusions for the past 3 years and family history. RESULTS: HBV and HCV prevalences were 17% (stable over the last 3 years) and 75%, respectively; co-infection was seen in 10% of the subjects. Hospitalization (nosocomial infection) for HBV, blood transfusions and duration on dialysis for HCV, emerged as the main risk factors for hepatitis infection. Socio-economic conditions appear to be equally important for HCV infection, since the prevalence was significantly higher among patients from rural, underdeveloped areas than urban areas (80.8 vs 60.3%), and infection was already present in a large proportion of patients (47%) before starting dialysis, without being related to previous disease duration or blood transfusions. HBV and/or HCV was not associated with a worse clinical or biochemical profile at the time of the study. However, infected patients had significantly more previous cytolytic episodes, with higher, transient increases in ALAT and ASAT levels. CONCLUSIONS: HCV infection is endemic among dialysis centres in Moldavia. Apart from previously well-known risk factors for hepatitis infection, our study demonstrates the negative impact of socio-economic underdevelopment. Simple measures such as enforced general asepsia rules, careful disinfection and equipment sterilization, routine testing of patients from economically disadvantaged areas and monthly, serial determination of hepatic enzymes should be the common practice in dialysis centres in Romania.  (+info)

Lokaverkefni: Studies on treatment of renal anemia in patients on chronic hemodialysis | SkemmanLokaverkefni: "Studies on treatment of renal anemia in patients on chronic hemodialysis" | Skemman
The main purposes of this thesis were to use ESR to study the levels of NTBI and oxidative stress after intravenous (IV) iron injection and to compare two commercially available IV iron formulations, low-molecular weight iron-dextran (ID) and iron-sucrose (IS), regarding this topic. In addition, the impact of two different hemodialysis modalities on iron homeostasis and the effect of modifying the ESA administration praxis on ESA requirement, were studied. Sixty-four patients on chronic hemodialysis treatment participated in these studies. To investigate the appearance of NTBI and induction of oxidative stress, blood samples were collected before and after IV iron injections. To compare two different hemodialysis modalities, a prospective, randomized, patient-blinded study, with conventional hemodialysis (HD) and on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF), in a 2x2 months design, was conducted. Finally, a retrospective register study was performed on 18 patients, comparing periods with two different ...

Introduction: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is associated with accelerated vascular disease of the cerebral circulation. Several studies have established that patients with ESRD on hemodialysis (HD) are at much higher risk of ischemic stroke than general population.. Objective: To compare the outcomes of in-hospital stroke vs out of hospital stroke in maintenance hemodialysis and identify predictors of mortality.. Methods: Patients ,18 years admitted between 2005-2014 were screened using ICD-CM-9 codes 39.9 for Hemodialysis and 430-438 for stroke. Of the 620 patients with stroke and HD, 135 patients who had "in-hospital" acute ischemic stroke were identified. Patient demographics, comorbidities, type of stroke, and outcomes including discharge disposition and mortality were compared between the two groups. Logistics regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of mortality in these patients.. Results: Rate of in hospital stroke was 28.8 % (135/468) and overall prevalence ...

Vascular access-related infections and septicemia are the main causes of infections among hemodialysis patients, the majority of them caused by Staphylococcus species. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has recently been reported with a probable antistaphylococcal activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ASA on the risk of dialysis-related infection and septicemia among incident chronic hemodialysis patients. In a nested case-control study, we identified 449 cases of vascular access-related infections and septicemia, and 4156 controls between 2001 and 2007 from our incident chronic hemodialysis patients cohort. Cases were defined as patients hospitalized with a main diagnosis of vascular access-related infection or septicemia on the discharge sheet (ICD-9 codes). Up to ten controls per case were selected by incidence density sampling and matched to cases on age, sex and follow-up time. ASA exposure was measured at the admission and categorized as: no use, low dose (80-324 mg/d), high dose (≥325

Headache is one of the most frequently encountered neurological symptoms during hemodialysis. According to International Classification of Headache criteria dialysis-related headache was defined as the headache occurring during hemodialysis with no specific characteristic. It resolves spontaneously within 72 hours after the hemodialysis session ends. There are few studies in the literature investigating the clinical features of dialysis headache. The pathophysiology of hemodialysis-related headache is not known, but various triggering factors have been identified, including changes in blood pressure, serum sodium and magnesium levels during hemodialysis sessions, caffeine deprivation and stress. The aim of this article is to evaluate and analyze features of headache in patients undergoing hemodialysis. ...

Background: Sudden cardiac death is common and accounts largely for the excess mortality of patients on maintenance dialysis. It is unknown whether aldosterone and cortisol increase the incidence of sudden cardiac death in dialysis patients. Methods and results: We analysed data from 1255 diabetic haemodialysis patients participating in the German Diabetes and Dialysis Study (4D Study). Categories of aldosterone and cortisol were determined at baseline and patients were followed for a median of 4 years. By Cox regression analyses, hazard ratios (HRs) were determined for the effect of aldosterone, cortisol, and their combination on sudden death and other adjudicated cardiovascular outcomes. The mean age of the patients was 66 ± 8 years (54% male). Median aldosterone was ,15 pg/mL (detection limit) and cortisol 16.8 µg/dL. Patients with aldosterone levels ,200 pg/mL had a significantly higher risk of sudden death (HR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.06-2.69) compared with those with an aldosterone ,15 pg/mL. ...
A new method of post-dialysis blood urea sampling: the `stop dialysate flow method : Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation - oiA new method of post-dialysis blood urea sampling: the `stop dialysate flow' method : Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation - oi
Background. A standardized practical method of post-dialysis blood sampling is required to improve the precision of using urea kinetics in the evaluation of haemodialysis dose and to permit comparative audit. The methods recommended in the Renal Association and Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) guidelines reduce the blood pump speed to a low rate at the end of haemodialysis before blood sampling after 10 and 15 s respectively. However, these `low flow methods compensate only partially for cardiopulmonary recirculation and may be impractical in routine practice because they involve sequential steps and require accurate timing of sampling. Therefore we have evaluated an alternative method of stopping only the dialysate flow at the end of the haemodialysis session before performing post-dialysis blood sampling.. Methods. The study was performed in three phases. Serial measurements of blood urea were obtained from arterial and venous samples taken at times 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 ...

October 19, 2017-A study that aimed to describe the temporal trends and outcomes of endovascular and surgical revascularization in a large, nationally representative sample of patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis who were hospitalized for peripheral artery disease (PAD), was published by Pranav S. Garimella, MD, et al in Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): Cardiovascular Interventions (2017;10:2101-2110).. The background of the study is that although PAD is prevalent among patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, there is a paucity of information on trends in endovascular and surgical revascularization and postprocedure outcomes in this population.. As summarized in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2002 to 2012) was used to identify hemodialysis patients undergoing endovascular or surgical procedures for PAD using diagnostic and procedural codes.

The bacteria within our gut appear to have an effect on nearly every aspect of our health. Little is known about how hemodialysis treatment and kidney failure influence the bacterial composition in our gut and in turn how this influences our health. Emerging evidence suggests that perhaps some of these bacteria are a major source of molecules that may build up and cause harm to the health of hemodialysis patients. This study helped us understand more about the relationship between gut bacteria and clinical risk factors in hemodialysis patients. In addition, it will shape future interventional studies to improve health in this population.. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ten MHD patients (7M, 50 ± 4years, 80% African American) were assessed on a non-dialysis day. Assessment included: bone and body composition by DEXA; arterial function by applanation tonometry; and dietary intake through dietary recalls over the 48h prior to the fecal sample collection. Participants were asked to collect ...

Background. C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels, an acute phase response index, predict cardiovascular outcome and are inversely related to visceral proteins, including albuminaemia in haemodialysis patients. Less definite is the relationship between inflammation and markers of somatic proteins such as serum creatinine in such patients. To explore these questions, a cross‐sectional analysis of potential predictors of serum creatinine was performed.. Methods. One hundred and seventy‐nine prevalent haemodialysis patients as of June 2001 were included in the cohort. Midweek pre‐dialysis blood samples were collected during the months of June, September through to December 2001 inclusive, and determinations of serum urea (urease method), creatinine (alkaline picrate method) and CRP levels by means of a high sensitivity immunonephelometric method were performed. Furthermore, pre‐ and post‐dialysis body weights were recorded and 2 min post‐dialysis serum urea levels were determined three ...

Brazilian chronic dialysis survey 2017Brazilian chronic dialysis survey 2017
Discussion. The annual chronic dialysis survey has become a traditional event among Brazilian renal centers for the last 15 years,3,4 and this year 38% of centers joined the survey, representing a significant voluntary participation. The South and Southeast regions had response rates above the national average (40 and 44 %).. In the last 15 years, the number of end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis increased 4.2 times more than the number of active dialysis centers, increasing to 167 the average number of patients per center. Nonetheless, the average occupation rate is 85%. The average number of nephrologists per center was 6.. The growth rate of the number of patients on dialysis in Brazil is reducing. Although the annual increase of the estimated absolute number varies around 4,000 to 6,000 per year, the relative growth of dialysis population is decreasing as demonstrated when we compared percentage growth every five years.. The overall estimated prevalence increased 22.2% in 5 years, ...

We linked the USRDS cohort with Medicare part D prescriptions-fill data and the DCI cohort with USRDS data. Unique aspect of USRDS cohort was pharmacy prescription-fill data and for DCI cohort was detailed clinical data, ...
Enhancing Dialysis Adequacy: Effects of Intradialytic Exercise - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govEnhancing Dialysis Adequacy: Effects of Intradialytic Exercise - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
For patients with severe chronic kidney disease, regular dialysis to remove toxins and waste products from the blood is essential to maintain life. The adequacy of dialysis is quantified by the removal of these toxic solutes and is an important parameter in the assessment of the therapy.. Previous efforts to enhance urea clearance have centered around factors such as increasing dialysis dose by increasing dialysis time or carrying out more frequent dialysis sessions. However this concept is confronted with the barriers of patient compliance and cost implications. Many patients are resilient to increasing their dialysis time, presenting a major challenge for enhancing the efficacy of dialysis therapy. Therefore, alternative methods of improving dialysis adequacy, with interventions aimed at enhancing solute clearance, are highly warranted.. One such intervention could be exercising during haemodialysis (HD). 85% of the body is comprised of lean tissue, of which 73% is water. As many toxic solutes ...

N2 - Cardiovascular diseases, in their broad spectrum, are collectively the major cause of death in patients on dialysis. The population of patients treated with peritoneal and hemodialysis are not only subject to the traditional risk factors for heart disease, but also to certain uremia-associated risk factors that are unique in this population. Limited data are available on the effectiveness of routine interventions on cardiovascular outcomes in dialysis patients. Because most dialysis patients are excluded from clinical trials, data from randomized controlled trials regarding outcomes in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis are almost absent. The present review discusses some of the major cardiovascular problems in the dialysis population, the impact of those problems on survival, and the available therapeutic ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Role of folate deficiency on erythropoietin resistance in pediatric and adolescent patients on chronic dialysis. AU - Bamgbola, Oluwatoyin Fatai. AU - Kaskel, Frederick. PY - 2005/11/1. Y1 - 2005/11/1. N2 - Unlike iron therapy, folate use is not a standard of care in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Despite iron repletion, poor response to erythropoietin (EPO) treatment is common. Theoretical evidence for folate deficiency (FD) includes chronic blood loss, inflammation, malnutrition, and nutrient loss during dialysis. Due to poor diagnostic standards, early studies failed to establish a role for FD in EPO resistance. Given that hematological response to therapeutic intervention is the gold standard for FD, its diagnosis was therefore based on composite scoring of RBC and/or folate indices. Fifteen subjects (8-20 years) on chronic HD were enrolled in this study. No folate supplement was given in the first six months. Thereafter, 5-mg folic acid was administered orally after HD sessions ...

Eating during dialysis may improve nutritional status by counteracting the catabolic effects of HD treatment; but eating during HD may be discouraged because of concerns of postprandial hypotension. However, little data are available to support this practice. In this study, we hypothesized that high-protein meals during HD do not lead to symptomatic intradialytic hypotension events. Design: A 9-week, nonrandomized, parallel-arm study. Setting: A single ...
Unexplained pulmonary hypertension in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patientsUnexplained pulmonary hypertension in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients
We read with great interest the nice article by Etemadi and colleagues, in your journal, Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, entitled "Unexplained pulmonary hypertension in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients".1 In a retrospective study of chronic hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients, pulmonary hypertension was found in 14 (41.1%) patients of the hemodialysis group and in 6 (18.7%) patients of the peritoneal dialysis group, where pulmonary hypertension was defined as a systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP)≥35mmHg. They concluded that unexplained pulmonary hypertension seems to be more frequent in patients undergoing hemodialysis than with patients in the peritoneal dialysis group. In this context, I would like to make a few points about pulmonary hypertension in dialysis patients. In a study of 102 maintenance hemodialysis patients, we found pulmonary artery pressure of 41.5±12.6mmHg. In our study, 76.5% of hemodialysis patients had SPAP=35mmHg. In this study we can also ...

All patients had always been treated with a dialysate containing negligible amounts of aluminum. The serum aluminum levels of hemodialysis and CAPD patients were not significantly different, not related to age or sex, and not affected by the presence of diabetes or vitamin D intake. The most important determinant of serum aluminum level in the hemodialysis patients was the current dose of aluminum-containing phosphate-binding medication. This relationship was most striking in the compliant patients. In hemodialysis patients, after an increase during the first one to two ...
Lokelma label update approved in EU for patients with hyperkalaemia on stable haemodialysisLokelma label update approved in EU for patients with hyperkalaemia on stable haemodialysis
The European Commission (EC) has approved a dosing and administration label update in the EU for AstraZenecas Lokelma (sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) to include patients with hyperkalaemia on stable haemodialysis.. The approval by the EC was based on data from the Phase IIIb DIALIZE trial, the first ever randomised, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate a potassium binder in patients on stable haemodialysis. The trial showed sustained potassium control pre-dialysis for more patients receiving Lokelma, compared with placebo.1. Mene Pangalos, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals R&D, said: "More than 300,000 patients with end-stage renal disease in Europe are undergoing haemodialysis and are at risk of experiencing high potassium levels. This label update provides important guidance to manage hyperkalaemia, a condition which can be life-threatening in these patients if left untreated.". In DIALIZE, 41% of patients receiving Lokelma maintained pre-dialysis potassium levels on at least ...

The oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) appears to be a crucial step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The increased oxidative stress and attendant increased oxidizability of lipoproteins, such as LDL could contribute to the accelerated atherosclerosis in dialysis patients. Since α-tocopherol (AT) is the major antioxidant in LDL, the aim of the present study was to test the effectiveness of RRR-AT supplementation (800 I.U. per day) for 12 weeks on the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation. The study subjects comprised patients with ...
Haemodialysis and Vascular Access in the End Stage Kidney Disease :: Science Publishing GroupHaemodialysis and Vascular Access in the End Stage Kidney Disease :: Science Publishing Group
The efficiency of haemodialysis treatment relies on a functional status of vascular access. A vascular access makes life-saving haemodialysis treatments possible. The efficiency of haemodialysis treatment relies on a functional status of vascular access. The purpose of this review was to discuss the role of haemodialysis and vascular access in end stage kidney disease. Vascular access and its related problems represent the main factors that determine a rise in the rate of incidence of the disease among haemodialysis patients and, consequently, a rise in the healthcare expenses. Vascular access can be divided into three categories: arteriovenous fistula, central venous catheter and arteriovenous graft. Central venous catheter has a number of disadvantages, including a considerable risk of infection and mortality. It also has negative implications for the use of a fistula for dialysis. In contrast, arteriovenous fistula is the most beneficial method, as it has a low risk of infection and mortality, and

The effects of frequent nocturnal home hemodialysis: the Frequent Hemodialysis Network Nocturnal Trial. This trial was launched because it was noticed from small studies that more frequent nocturnal dialysis may help improve outcomes in dialysis patients. A multicenter study headed by Dr. Rocco et al where 87 patients randomized to three times per week conventional hemodialysis or to nocturnal hemodialysis six times per week, all with single-use high-flux dialyzers. The 45 patients in the frequent nocturnal arm had a 1.82-fold higher mean weekly stdKt/V(urea). NO significant effect of nocturnal hemodialysis for either of the two coprimary outcomes (death or left ventricular mass (measured by MRI) was found. Secondary outcomes included cognitive performance, self-reported depression, laboratory markers of nutrition, mineral metabolism and anemia, blood pressure and rates of hospitalization, and vascular access interventions. Patients in the nocturnal arm had improved control of hyperphosphatemia ...

Hemodialysis patients have higher rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to the general population. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. In addition, hemodialysis alters MBL concentration and functional activity. The present study determines the predictive value of MBL levels for future cardiac events (C-event), cardiovascular events (CV-event) and all-cause mortality in HD patients. We conducted a prospective study of 107 patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Plasma MBL, properdin, C3d and sC5b-9 was measured before and after one dialysis session. The association with future C-events, CV-events, and all-cause mortality was evaluated using Cox regression models. During median follow-up of 27 months, 36 participants developed 21 C-events and 36 CV-events, whereas 37 patients died. The incidence of C-events and CV-events was significantly higher in patients with low MBL levels (|319 ng/mL, lower quartile). In fully adjusted
The effect of outpatient dialysis global budget cap on healthcare utilization by end-stage renal disease patientsThe effect of outpatient dialysis global budget cap on healthcare utilization by end-stage renal disease patients
Downloadable (with restrictions)! Controlling the cost of chronic diseases remains one of the vexing problems of developed and developing nations alike. Taiwan, faced with rapidly escalating healthcare costs associated with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) services utilization, imposed an outpatient dialysis global budget (ODBG) on outpatient dialysis care. This study, using a before and after study design with a comparison group, assessed the impact of this policy innovation on outpatient, inpatient and emergency room utilization. Using a difference in difference (DID) strategy and the generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach, this study found providers responded to these changes through cost reduction and revenue enhancement strategies. This study extends our understanding of provider responses to changes in reimbursement policies that target one segment of the continuum of care required by chronic disease patients.
Dialysis catheter - WikipediaDialysis catheter - Wikipedia
A dialysis catheter is a catheter used for exchanging blood to and from a hemodialysis machine and a patient. The dialysis catheter contains two lumens: venous and arterial. Although both lumens are in the vein, the "arterial" lumen, like natural arteries, carries blood away from the heart, while the "venous" lumen returns blood towards the heart. The arterial lumen (typically red) withdraws blood from the patient and carries it to the dialysis machine, while the venous lumen (typically blue) returns blood to the patient (from the dialysis machine). Flow rates of dialysis catheters range between 200 and 500 ml/min. If a patient requires long-term dialysis therapy, a chronic dialysis catheter will be inserted. Chronic catheters contain a dacron cuff that is tunneled beneath the skin approximately 3-8 cm. The tunnel is thought to add a barrier to infection. The most popular dialysis catheter sold on the market today is the split-tip dialysis catheter. This catheter comprises two free floating ...

Malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis syndrome is one of the causes of increased mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of the study was to assess the inflammation and nutritional status of patients in end-stage kidney disease treated with maintenance hemodialysis. The study included a group of 98 hemodialyzed patients with stage 5 CKD (38 women and 60 men). Albumin, prealbumin (PRE), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in serum samples collected before mid-week dialysis. Fruit and vegetables frequency intakes were assessed with a questionnaire. CRP was above the reference limit of 5 mg/L in 53% of patients. Moreover, the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) indicated the co-occurrence of inflammation and protein calorie malnutrition in 11% of patients, and the presence of either inflammation or malnutrition in 25%. The questionnaire revealed that hemodialyzed patients frequently exclude fruit and vegetables from their diets. Nearly 43% of the interviewed patients declared frequently

BACKGROUND: Sodium prescription in patients with intradialytic hypotension remains a challenge for the attending nephrologist, as it increases dialysate conductivity in hypotension-prone patients, thereby adding to dietary sodium levels. METHODS: New sodium prescription strategies are now available, including the use of a mathematical model to compute the sodium mass to be removed during dialysis as a physiological controller. RESULTS: This review describes the sodium load of patients with end-stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis (HD) and discusses 2 strategies to remove excess sodium in patients prone to intradialytic hypotension, namely, Profiled HD and the hemodiafiltration Aequilibrium System ...

The gastrointestinal tract in uremia | ScholarBank@NUSThe gastrointestinal tract in uremia | [email protected]
Gastrointestinal mucosal abnormalities ranging from edema to ulceration occur in two thirds of patients dying of uremia. Early studies suggested that uremic patients on maintenance dialysis treatment were at increased risk of peptic ulceration but more recent data indicate that this is not so. Other gastrointestinal problems reported for uremic subjects on maintenance dialysis treatment include bleeding from telangiectatic lesions, constipation, mucosal deposition of amyloid and acute pancreatitis. Nausea and vomiting are common in the uremic patient but gastric emptying studies have yielded conflicting results. Patients undergoing renal transplantation are at increased risk of development of esophagitis, complicated peptic ulcer, intestinal ulceration, and perforation as well as acute pancreatitis ...
Silent Cerebral Ischemia and Infarct Prevelance in Chronic Renal Failure PatientsSilent Cerebral Ischemia and Infarct Prevelance in Chronic Renal Failure Patients
Objective: Cerebrovascular diseases are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. The ischemic type is the most common and most fatal o among the all cerebrovasculer diseases. In patients having silent cerebral ischemia the incidence of ischemic infarction is ten times greater than in the normal population. The treatment modalities are not efficient after the cerebral infarct has occurred. For this reason academic studies are gaining importance for the determination of risk factors, primary and secondary prophylaxis, early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Cerebrovascular diseases are also the most common major causes of death in hemodialysis patients. The effect of dialysis treatment and chronic renal failure disease on the development of cerebral ischemia and infarct has not been explained, In this study we analyzed the prevalence of silent cerebral ischemia and infarct in the cronic renal failure patients having hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment, using magnetic ...

Background/Aims: Dialysis triggers stress reaction, matrix remodeling and endothelial damage, but little is known about the changes it induces on selected heat shock proteins (Hsp90α), adhesion molecules (E-cadherin, sE-selectin), metalloproteinases (MMP-8) and their extracellular inducer (EMMPRIN). The aim of this study was to assess serum concentrations of the above-mentioned parameters in children on chronic dialysis. Methods: 19 patients on hemodialysis (HD), 22 children on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and 30 age-matched controls were examined. Serum concentrations of parameters were assessed by ELISA. Results: Hsp90α, MMP-8, EMMPRIN and E-cadherin concentrations were significantly increased in children on dialysis vs. controls and higher levels were in HD than PD patients. There was no difference in the level of sE-selectin between HD and PD modalities. A single HD session diminished Hsp90α, MMP-8, EMMPRIN and E-cadherin values, but had no impact on sE-selectin levels. Conclusions:

Ability to travel. Despite the health benefits that daily, more frequent home hemodialysis may provide to those with chronic kidney disease "CKD," this form of therapy is not for everyone. The reported benefits of daily, more frequent home hemodialysis may not be experienced by all patients.. The risks associated with hemodialysis treatments in any environment include, but are not limited to, high blood pressure, fluid overload, low blood pressure, heart-related issues, and vascular access complications. The medical devices used in hemodialysis therapies may add additional risks including air entering the bloodstream, and blood loss due to clotting or accidental disconnection of the blood tubing set.. Certain risks are unique to the home. Treatments at home are done without the presence of medical personnel and on-site technical support..

Hemodialysis vascular access is the "lifeline" for patients on hemodialysis. Unfortunately, because of its poor patency and significant complication rate, it is also the "Achilles heel" of hemodialysis. For example, the current unassisted arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation rate is only 40% between 6 and 9 months, and the 1-year unassisted patency for polytetrafluoroethylene grafts is 23%. Despite the magnitude of the clinical problem, relatively few new and effective therapies have been introduced into this field over the last two decades, resulting in a stagnation of vascular access care. We believe that an important barrier to developing new and effective therapies is the current lack of consensus among the different vascular access stakeholder groups (information on project structure below) regarding acceptable clinical trial end points for vascular access trials. Achieving such a consensus would result in a better defined product development pathway, which is a critical step to stimulate ...

Wu27 reported that the 2-year cumulative incidence of de novo CHD in ESRD patients undergoing chronic peritoneal (18.0%) and hemodialysis (15.0%) exceeded the 6-year cumulative incidence (12.7%) of de novo CHD among original Framingham Study participants who were also free of CHD at baseline, and by matched frequency to that of dialysis patients for the prevalence of established risk factors. In the present study, we evaluated the association between elevated fasting tHcy levels at a baseline examination and the subsequent development of CVD in a convenience sample of ESRD patients undergoing chronic dialysis therapy. Our findings provide the initial prospective evidence that the markedly elevated tHcy levels characteristically found in dialysis-dependent ESRD patients15 16 17 18 may contribute independently to the excess risk for CVD outcomes in this population. These prospective data strongly suggest that hyperhomocysteinemia warrants further study of its role as an important "nontraditional" ...

This study shows that in France, where the rate of predialysis AV access placement is relatively high, nonfunctional AV access at hemodialysis initiation is common and does not appear to have decreased over time. A substantial percentage of patients with nonfunctional AV access at first hemodialysis may never acquire a functional AV access which is associated with increased mortality risk. In contrast, the outcome of patients with a nonfunctional AV access converting to a functional one appears similar to that of those starting with a functional AV access. These findings have important implications for clinical practice and public health policies.. The 9% frequency of nonfunctional AV access at hemodialysis initiation in our study is of the same order of magnitude as that reported in Canada (9%) [4], but lower than in the US (18%) [2, 3]. Nevertheless, the relative weight of nonfunctional AV accesses among all those created predialysis was much lower in France than in North America. About 16% of ...

Background: In end-stage renal disease (ESRD), gut-derived uremic toxins play a crucial role in the systemic inflammation and oxidative stress promoting the excess morbidity and mortality. The biochemical derangement is in part a consequence of an insufficient generation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) due to the dysbiosis of the gut and an insufficient consumption of the fermentable complex carbohydrates. Aim of the study: The primary end-point was to evaluate the potential efficacy of SCFA (specifically, sodium propionate (SP)) for patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) on systemic inflammation. Secondary end-points included potential attenuation of oxidative stress markers, insulin resistance and production of gut-derived uremic toxins indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol sulfate, as well as health status after SP supplementation. Study design: We performed a single-center non-randomized pilot study in 20 MHD patients. They received the food additive SP with a daily intake of 2 × 500 mg in the ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), namely chronic renal insufficiency or chronic renal failure, refers to chronic kidney structure and function disorder caused by various factors. According to GFR (Glomerular filtration rate) index, chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages. Once the CKD patients enter the fifth stage, namely end-stage renal disease (ESRD) commonly known as uremia, and the renal replacement therapy must be conducted.. Hemodialysis (HD) is one of the renal replacement therapy ways to treat acute or chronic renal failure patients. Presently, there are more than 2 million end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients all over the world who choose the dialysis therapy, and about 90% of them receive hemodialysis. Because of the high hemodialysis expenses, the dialysis patients mainly concentrate in developed countries. ESRD patients on dialysis account for 10%-20% in developing countries, which is far lower than the 80% in developed countries. The population of dialysis patients is ...

Nutritional markers, such as lean body mass (LBM) and serum albumin, predict outcome in dialysis patients, in whom protein-energy malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The metabolic effects of human growth hormone (hGH) may improve the nutritional and cardiovascular health of these patients and consequently reduce morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to establish clinical proof of concept of hGH treatment for the improvement of the nutritional status in adult patients who are on maintenance hemodialysis. A total of 139 adult patients who were on maintenance hemodialysis and had serum albumin levels ≤40 g/L were randomly assigned to 6 mo of treatment with placebo or 20, 35, or 50 μg/kg per d hGH. Change in LBM and serum albumin (primary outcomes), health-related quality of life, and secondary efficacy and safety parameters were monitored. The study showed that hGH treatment increased LBM significantly at all dosage levels (2.5 kg [95% confidence ...
