Altered motor nerve excitability in end-stage kidney disease.
Although multiple toxins have been implicated in the development of uraemic neuropathy, no causative agent has been identified. In the present study, the excitability properties of lower limb motor nerves in patients with end-stage kidney disease treated with haemodialysis were measured before, during and after a standard 5 h haemodialysis session, in an attempt to explore the pathophysiology o...
متن کاملEffects of Hemodiafiltration and High Flux Hemodialysis on Nerve Excitability in End-Stage Kidney Disease
OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy is the most common neurological complication in end-stage kidney disease. While high flux hemodialysis (HFHD) and hemodiafiltration (HDF) have become the preferred options for extracorporeal dialysis therapy, the effects of these treatments on nerve excitability have not yet been examined. METHODS An observational proof-of-concept study of nerve excitability a...
متن کاملlegal aspects of end of life and end stage disease
Abstract: Aims: End of Life (EOL) care providers potentially face by variety of legal and professional dilemma. This study is designed to review and analyze these challenges and approaches to solve them. Materials & Methods: In this narrative review study, legal aspects of end-of-life care in subjects such as medical assisted dying, decision-making capacity and withdrawal of life-sustaining...
متن کاملIschaemia induces paradoxical changes in axonal excitability in end-stage kidney disease.
Peripheral neuropathy is present in 65% of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). No cause is yet established: nerve excitability studies have shown that axons are chronically depolarized, primarily owing to hyperkalaemia, but in vitro studies have suggested a role for axonal Na+/K+ pump dysfunction. To investigate Na+/K+ pump activity in vivo, lower limb ischaemia was induced in five E...
متن کاملLupus nephritis and end-stage kidney disease.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disease affecting many organs. Varying degrees of renal involvement are seen in up to 60% of adults with SLE, and severe lupus nephritis (LN) (World Health Organization class III and above) progresses to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) within 15 years of diagnosis in 10% to 30% of patients. In fact, renal injury is the most important predictor...
