Hemodialysis (HD) technology, pivotal in managing end-stage kidney disease, has witnessed significant advancements. Yet, the high cost of novel equipment often restricts its usage in resource-limited settings. This study introduces a two-filter adapt...
Background: Oral frailty is a new concept, introduced in Japan in 2013. In our preliminary study, oral hypofunction was observed in more than half of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). This allowed us to determine the exact prevalenc...
Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients with kidney failure receiving dialysis presents a formidable clinical challenge. Standard DKA protocols, designed for patients with preserved renal function, often fail in this cohort and can be uns...
Background: Despite efforts to rely on arteriovenous fistulas/grafts for maintenance hemodialysis, a significant number of patients still depend on tunnel hemodialysis catheters for treatment. This poses a risk factor for central line-associated bloo...
Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) and pre-transplant renal dysfunction are recognized risk factors for mortality after allo-HSCT. Utilizing the data from the Center...
The incidence of kidney diseases has been increasing in the last decade due to extended lifespan, which is often related to polymorbidity. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are associated with high morbidity and mortality, el...
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...
