Determinants of haemoglobin carbamylation in haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Carbamylation is an irreversible process of non-enzymatic modification of proteins by the breakdown products of urea. For haemoglobin (Hb), the extent of carbamylation is a marker of urea exposure and has been proposed as an indicator of the control of uraemia by dialysis, analogous to the use of Hb glycosylation in diabetic patients. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of...
متن کاملComparison of Marital Satisfaction in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Alternative kidney treatments, including renal transplantation, hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD), are administered when severe kidney failure occurs and the kidney can no longer function. The present study compares different dimensions of marital satisfaction in HD and PD patients so as to assist physicians and patients in choosing their appropriate treatment. This cross-se...
متن کاملPlasma ghrelin levels in patients undergoing haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
BACKGROUND Ghrelin has been characterized as a relevant physiologic regulator of appetite and body weight in humans. However, the potential relationships between ghrelin levels, inflammation and malnutrition in dialysis patients have not been adequately studied. METHODS We used a cross-sectional design to study 20 haemodialysis (HD) and 21 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and compared their...
متن کاملPeritoneal dialysis versus haemodialysis (adult)
• Treatment starting with peritoneal dialysis (PD) may lead to more favourable survival in the first 1–2 years compared to starting treatment with haemodialysis (HD) (Level II evidence, small RCT). • Peritoneal dialysis compared with conventional HD is associated with equivalent or better survival in the first few years, especially with respect to residual renal function (RRF) (Level III eviden...
متن کاملHaemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients admitted to intensive care units
Hutchison and colleagues report a 10-year experience of dialysis patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in the UK excluding Scotland. Their study is the largest published so far and raises issues of interest to both ICU physicians and nephrologists. Overall, the dialysis patients, although sicker on admission and having pre-existing co-morbidities, do as well as other ICU patients. Th...
