Testosterone therapy for anaemia in maintenance dialysis.
Intramuscular testosterone 250-500 mg weekly given to 25 patients on long-term haemodialysis produced a significant rise in haemoglobin level in all patients. The response was reversible when the drug was stopped. Treatment was effective in bilaterally nephrectomized patients and those with intact kidney tissue. The use of intramuscular testosterone is recommended for all adult patients on long...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells in patients on extracorporeal maintenance dialysis therapy.
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure patients have a high cardiovascular disease burden, low numbers and impaired function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). We hypothesized that enhanced uraemic toxin removal restores EPCs in haemodialysis patients. METHODS In a prospective, randomized, cross-over trial, 18 patients were subjected to 4 weeks of each low-flux haemodialysis, high-flux haemodi...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of lipid-lowering therapy in maintenance dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The use of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) in patients on chronic dialysis is contentious. Here we present an aggregate data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing long-term LLT versus placebo in dialysis patients. METHOD A search of Medline, Google Scholar, COCHRANE database, EMBASE, and cardiovascular and nephrology society proceedings was performed. Cri...
متن کاملEffects of exercise therapy during dialysis for elderly patients undergoing maintenance dialysis
[Purpose] Exercise therapy during dialysis is currently being recommended since it is easy for patients to follow and results in high participation rates. In this study, this therapy was performed for elderly patients undergoing maintenance dialysis, and its effects were examined. [Subjects and Methods] Seven elderly patients (age: 70.6 ± 4.4) with chronic renal failure, who were able to perfor...
متن کاملLate referral for maintenance dialysis.
A study of patients accepted for maintenance dialysis at the Oxford renal unit in 1981 showed that 23 out of 55 patients were referred late, very shortly before the need for dialysis. This pattern of referral was associated with a higher morbidity at the start of dialysis which may have been preventable. In the late referral group 16 patients (70%) suffered major complications and three (13%) d...
