Managing Anaemia in End Stage Renal Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anaemia is virtually universal, irrespective of aetiology or stage in patients, with Chronic Kidney Disease,including transplant-associated CKD. Anaemia a multi-factorial risk factor for the progression of CKD to End Stage Renal Disease(ESRD), reduces the quality of life and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Degree of anaemia is a reflection of severity of chronic kidney disease. Anaemia develops earlier and more severe in anephric and diabetic patients. The WHO defines anaemia as a Haemoglobin level less than 13.0 g/dl in adult men and less than 12 g/dl in adult women. Erythropoietin deficiency along with absolute or functional deficiency of iron, accounts for nearly 90% cases of anaemia. India is leading in iron-deficiency anaemia in the world. With or without CKD, anaemia affects an estimated 2/3rd population in India, as per National Family Health Survey1.

Avoidance of Dialysis in an End-Stage Renal Disease Patient Status-post Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Certain benefits are clearly associated with the use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as compared with the on-pump CABG. The superiority is more evident in patients with multiple co morbidities including renal failure.We reviewed the medical records of a 67-year-old male with a past medical history that was significant for multiple cardiovascular diseases and new-onset end-sta...
متن کاملPathophysiology of cardiovascular damage in the early renal population.
In renal disease, mechanisms available to compensate for the reduced haemoglobin levels associated with anaemia include increased oxygen extraction from peripheral tissues and, primarily, increased blood flow and changes in blood flow distribution. Haemodynamic changes induced by anaemia include decreases in blood viscosity, peripheral vascular resistance and oxygen delivery, and an increase in...

Background & Aims: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), mainly its final stage, known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is one of the major challenges for the healthcare system in Iran, and deserves more reflections. Against this background, the present study aimed to elucidate the epidemiology of ESRD among the patients, undergoing permanent treatment, admitted to the hemodialysis (HD) wards of the ...
