The role of natriuretic peptides in volume assessment and mortality prediction in Haemodialysis patients
(2015-12-29)
BACKGROUND: Maintaining optimal fluid balance is essential in haemodialysis (HD) patients but clinical evaluation remains problematic. Other technologies such as bioimpedance are emerging as valuable adjuncts. This study ...
Plasma Levels of Middle Molecules to Estimate Residual Kidney Function in Haemodialysis without Urine Collection
(2015-12-02)
BACKGROUND: Residual Kidney Function (RKF) is associated with survival benefits in haemodialysis (HD) but is difficult to measure without urine collection. Middle molecules such as Cystatin C and β2-microglobulin accumulate ...
Incremental haemodialysis
(2015-06-01)
Thrice-weekly haemodialysis schedules have become the standard default haemodialysis prescription worldwide. Whereas the measurement of residual renal function is accepted practice for peritoneal dialysis patients and the ...
Endotoxemia in end-stage kidney disease
(2015-01-08)
Chronic unexplained inflammation remains a prevalent and clinically significant problem for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), especially in the dialysis population. The causes of persistent inflammation are ...
