Successful Pregnancy in a Chronic Hemodialysis Patient
Pregnancy in end stage renal disease women who are on Hemodialysis has been considered a challenging event for both mother and fetus. Generally, outcomes of pregnancy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been considered to be extremely poor, and pregnancy in this group of patients is rather scarce. The frequency of conception is ranged from 0.3% per year in Belgium to 1.4% per y...
متن کاملProtein intake during hemodialysis maintains a positive whole body protein balance in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Protein energy malnutrition is present in 18 to 56% of hemodialysis patients. Because hemodialysis has been regarded as a catabolic event, we studied whether consumption of a protein- and energy-enriched meal improves the whole body protein balance during dialysis in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients. Patients were studied on a single day between dialysis (HD- protocol) in the morning while f...
متن کاملHeart Failure Associated with Metastatic Myocardial Calcification in a Hemodialysis Patient with Progressive Calcification of the Hand.
Metastatic myocardial calcification is a frequent cause of heart failure in hemodialysis patients. However, early detection is difficult, often resulting in a poor prognosis. A 47-year-old man with hemodialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease presented with progressive dyspnea. Levels of serum phosphate, calcium, and intact parathyroid hormone were poorly controlled. He developed pain in his ...
متن کاملPorcelain Heart: Rapid Progression of Cardiac Calcification in a Patient with Hemodialysis
Cardiac calcification usually occurs in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, rapid progression of cardiac calcification is rarely associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism of end-stage renal disease. We report a patient with end-stage renal disease who showed moderate left ventricular hypertrophy at the first echocardiography, and showed severe myocardial calcification and severe...
متن کاملBody consciousness, illness-related impairment, and patient adherence in hemodialysis.
Recent theory and evidence suggests that bodily self-focusing tendencies (e.g. private body consciousness) may be associated with medical regimen adherence among chronically ill patients. The present study examined the joint effects of private body consciousness and degree of illness-related physical impairment on treatment regimen adherence in a sample of 52 hemodialysis patients. It was predi...
