With interest, we read the article by Sidy Secket et al. on the mineral and bone disease in black African hemodialy-sis patients: A report from Senegal. The authors evaluated 118 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients under hemo-dialysis and showed that chronic kidney dis...

Risk Factors Associated with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in Patients With Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis

The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). Information about the study participants was extracted from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan for the years 1999 through 2011. We conducted this retrospective cohort study of patients with ARAS to identify...

Control of hyperphosphatemia among patients with ESRD.

Derangements of mineral metabolism occur during the early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hyperphosphatemia develops in the majority of patients with ESRD and has long been associated with progression of secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy. More recent observational data have associated hyperphosphatemia with increased cardiovascular mortality among dialysis patients....

Hemoglobin And Hematocrit Rise In End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) With PDpoetin: Results Of A Phase Ш, Multicenter Clinical Trial

  Background and Objective: The anemia of ESRD is a complex disorder, associated with serious complications, which increases patients’ mortality and morbidity. Treatment of this anemia with recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-EPO) is well established. This clinical trial study was conducted within 20 months, from May 2005 to December 2006, in order to evaluate the efficacy of PDpoetin (rh-EPO...

The nature of impairments of memory in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Possible impairments of memory in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were investigated in two experiments. In Experiment 1, in which stimulus words were presented visually, participants were tested on conceptual or perceptual memory tasks, with retrieval being either explicit or implicit. Compared with healthy controls, ESRD patients were impaired when memory required conceptual but not when it req...
