All-cause and cause-specific mortality associated with diabetes in prevalent hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND Diabetes is the most common risk factor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with increased risk of death. In order to better understand the influence of diabetes on outcomes in hemodialysis, we examine the risk of death of diabetic participants in the HEMODIALYSIS (HEMO) study. METHODS In the HEMO study, 823 (44.6%) participants were classified as diabetic. U...
متن کاملAll-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients with heart valve calcification.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Calcification of the mitral and aortic valves is common in dialysis patients (CKD-5D). However, the prognostic significance of valvular calcification (VC) in CKD is not well established. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS 144 adult CKD-5D patients underwent bidimensional echocardiography for qualitative assessment of VC and cardiac computed tomography (CT)...
متن کاملPrealbumin-retinol-binding-protein-retinol complex in hemodialysis patients.
In hemodialysis (HD) patients, serum prealbumin (TBPA) is correlated to nutritional status and outcome despite usually elevated serum levels. The purpose of this work was to study the role of TBPA-retinol-binding-protein (RBP)-retinol complex changes in the elevation of serum TBPA in HD patients. Serum TBPA, RBP, and retinol were measured in 30 otherwise healthy HD patients (15 men, 15 women) a...
متن کاملInfections Requiring Hospitalization in Patients on Hemodialysis.
Although the past decade has witnessed significant improvements in survival for patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) (1), hospitalization rates, particularly for infection, have not improved commensurately. Notable lack of progress is evident regarding hospitalizations for bacteremia/septicemia and pulmonary infections, such as pneumonia and influenza (2). For bacteremia/septicemia, first–year ...
متن کاملPlasma Gelsolin and Its Association with Mortality and Hospitalization in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients.
BACKGROUND Human plasma gelsolin (pGSN) is an actin-binding protein that is secreted into the extracellular fluid, with the skeletal muscle and myocardial tissues being its major source. Depletion of pGSN has been shown to be related to a variety of inflammatory and clinical conditions. METHODS pGSN levels were prospectively determined in prevalent maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients from ...
