Kidney and Dialysis, Volume 5, Issue 3

We report the case of a 44-year-old man with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who has been on chronic hemodialysis via a radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula (RC-AVF) for one year. The patient arrived at the emergency department due to an inability to...

Hypomagnesaemia, a common complication ranging from 20% to over 90%, depending on the diagnostic criteria and population studied, significantly contributes to adverse outcomes, including new-onset diabetes after transplantation, cardiovascular compli...

Objective: This scoping review synthesized and mapped the breadth of the existing literature on technological resources used to support individuals undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Methods: Following the methodological guidelines of the Joanna Brig...

Residual kidney function (RKF) plays a crucial role in improving outcomes for dialysis patients. Enhanced middle molecular clearance has been proposed as one of the several benefits of preserved RKF. Most patients who start dialysis retain some resid...

Several studies have shown an association of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) with the pathogenesis of albuminuria. However, the direct relationship of these biomarkers with a...

End-stage chronic kidney disease remains a global challenge, with dialysis and transplantation offering only partial or limited solutions. Recent advances in bioengineering have introduced modular strategies that aim to restore kidney function not by...

New and emerging technologies are being developed to combat some of the most pressing issues regarding peritoneal dialysis training, delivery, and complication identification. Currently used peritoneal dialysis solutions are high-dextrose concentrate...

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease populations. The risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is greater than that of progression to end-stage kidney disease. An exponential increase in...

The practice of medicine needs to be evidence-based [...]

Despite improvements in kidney transplantation rates, the shortage of donor kidneys remains a critical issue, exacerbated by non-utilization of recovered kidneys due to quality concerns, necessitating advancements in perfusion methods to enhance graf...
