Arterial stiffness: hemodialysis versus hemodiafiltration
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Arterial stiffness seems to be influenced by the dialysis method, but studies are sparse and the results discordant. High substitution volume online hemodiafiltration appears to have beneficial cardiovascular effects in dialysis patients, but its effects on arterial stiffness are not investigated. We aimed to analyze arterial stiffness parameters in high substitution volume ...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of online hemodiafiltration versus high-flux hemodialysis
BACKGROUND Clinical studies suggest that hemodiafiltration (HDF) may lead to better clinical outcomes than high-flux hemodialysis (HF-HD), but concerns have been raised about the cost-effectiveness of HDF versus HF-HD. Aim of this study was to investigate whether clinical benefits, in terms of longer survival and better health-related quality of life, are worth the possibly higher costs of HDF ...
متن کاملHyperleptinemia positively associated with central arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients
OBJECTIVE Leptin plays a role in stimulating vascular inflammation, vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy, and augmenting blood pressure, which contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and leads to arterial stiffness. This vascular damage, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), is recognized as an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) pa...
متن کاملVascular calcification, cardiovascular risk and arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients
Intimal and medial calcification, the two main types of arterial calcification, are associated, respectively, with arteriosclerosis and mediosclerosis. In non-dialysis patients, both intimal1 and medial calcification2 may be the result of an active regulated process with different aetiologies, where local cells, such as macrophages in the intima or vascular smooth cells in the media, differenti...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and inflammation in patients on hemodialysis
Objective: Arterial stiffness and inflammation may contribute to enhanced cardiovascular mortality of dialyzed patients.Our aim was the examination of the association between inflammatory factors, arterial stiffening and cardiovascular complications in patients on permanent hemodialysis modalities. Methods: We studied 76 dialyzed patients, 47 males and 29 females.Patients were separated as regu...
