Developing a Device for Automated Peritoneal Dialysis
Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an efficient alternative for hemodialysis. Removal of waste metabolites and excess water from the blood circulation are the two main tasks done during dialysis. These are done by using a filter; in PD, the naturally semi-permeable peritoneal membrane acts as the filter. Automated PD machines control intelligently the operations to enhance the efficiency a...
متن کاملAnkle--brachial index, vascular calcifications and mortality in dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a noninvasive method to evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). ABI <0.9 diagnoses PAD; ABI >1.3 is a false negative caused by noncompressible arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between ABI with vascular calcifications (VC) and with mortality, in haemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS We studied 219 HD patients (60% male...
متن کاملAnkle-brachial index and bone turnover in patients on dialysis.
An association between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis has been reported in several studies. This association could result from local intraosseous atherosclerosis and ischemia, which is shown by limb osteoporosis in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), but also could result from bidirectional communication between the skeleton and blood vessels. Systemic bone disorders and PAD are fr...
متن کاملOnodera's Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Risk Factor for Mortality in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance and usefulness of the Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (OPNI) as a prognostic and nutritional indicator in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on the initial OPNI score: group A (n = 186, < 40), group B (n = 150, 40-45), and group C (n = 186, > 45). Group A was associated with a higher gr...
متن کاملThe Hemodialysis Product (HDP): A Better Index of Dialysis Adequacy than Kt/V {January 2002}
n a recent issue of this journal, Dr. Peter Blake and others commented on the ADEMEX (Adequacy of Peritoneal Dialysis in Mexico) study, a brilliantly planned and conducted study on the influence of increases in Kt/V on the outcome of anuric continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients in Mexico. This prospective, controlled study was presented at the recent meeting of the Internati...
