Successful triplet pregnancy in a patient on chronic haemodialysis.

Pregnancy in patients on haemodialysis (HD) is uncommon and carries a high risk of fetal and maternal complications. Multiple pregnancies carry a high risk even in normal individuals; the risk is higher in dialysis patients. We report a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), who conceived while on HD, and had a successful triplet pregnancy. To our knowledge, successful triplet pregnancy i...

Successful thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke in haemodialysis

Stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity in survivors. Early thrombolytic therapy in acute ischaemic stroke has been shown to dramatically improve patient outcomes. Although the age-adjusted incidence of stroke is 5-10 times greater in haemodialysis patients, the use of thrombolysis for this indication in this group of patients has not been descr...

The first nocturnal home haemodialysis patient in Hong Kong.

We report our experience of the first use of nocturnal home haemodialysis in Hong Kong. The patient, a 40-year-old man with end-stage renal failure, was recruited into the Nocturnal Home Haemodialysis Programme at Princess Margaret Hospital in 2006. He received haemodialysis at home on alternate nights (3.5 sessions per week) for 5.5 to 6 hours per session. After 1 year of nocturnal home haemod...
