Mortality risk among children initially treated with dialysis for end-stage kidney disease, 1990-2010.
IMPORTANCE Most children with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are treated with dialysis prior to transplant. It is not known whether their outcomes have changed in recent years. OBJECTIVE To determine if all-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortality rates for children and adolescents beginning dialysis improved between 1990 and 2010. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospect...
متن کاملReducing the risk of infection in end-stage kidney failure patients treated by dialysis
After cardiovascular causes, infectious diseases are the next most common cause of death for dialysis patients. The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy reported an increased standardized mortality of 7.5-fold [95% confidence limits (CI) 7.3–7.6] for infectious diseases between 2008 and 2009 compared with the general Japanese population. The increased mortality rates for dialysis patients were...

متن کاملAutomated Peritoneal Dialysis is Suitable for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease
A female patient with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) was treated with automated peritoneal dialysis when she reached end-stage renal disease. The patient has been doing very well on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) for almost 6 years without peritonitis or abdominal hernias. Intra-abdominal pressures are lower in the supine position than in an erect or sitting position. Larger volumes of di...

This is due in part to advanced age, comorbid conditions, and immune dysfunction observed in uremic states. Although one may hypothesize that pulmonary infectious mortality is higher among patients with ESRD compared with the general population (GP), no such data are currently available...
