Abstract:

Introduction: Chronic renal failure causes impairment of all body organs including heart and lungs. Main problem in these patients are pulmonary edema due to increased permeability of capillaries, intravascular and interstitial volume overload, hypertension and heart failure. These changes cause altered physiologic and mechanical function of lungs. The objective of this study is evaluating the effect of dialysates and other intervening factors on spirometry parameters. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 41 patients with chronic renal failure in September and October 2006 in Labbafi Nejad Hospital, Tehran. Patients were randomly divided to bicarbonate and acetate groups. Prior to and after hemodialysis, patients were meticulously weighed and spirometry parameters (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC%, FEF 25-75) were measured. Biochemical indices were checked. Spirometry parameters were analyzed using t-test, and p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We compared 29 patients undergoing dialysis with bicarbonate and 21 patients on dialysis with acetate. Respiratory function improvement in spirometry parameters was only significant in patients undergoing dialysis with bicarbonate dialysate, and when results were compared according to gender, they were statistically significant only in men. This improvement was meaningful in FEF (25-75%), FEV1, FVC. Post dialysis weight loss and serum chemistry had no significant correlation with improvement of sprirometry parameters. Conclusion: Dialysis with bicarbonate dialysate causes significant improvement in spirometry parameters and respiratory function in men.

Spirometry parameters in patients undergoing hemodialysis with bicarbonate and acetate dialysates.

INTRODUCTION End-stage renal disease causes impairment of all body organs including the heart and the lung. The main problems in the afflicted patients are pulmonary edema due to increased permeability of the capillaries, intravascular and interstitial volume overload, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. These changes cause altered physiologic and mechanical function of the lungs and su...

The Effect of Dignity Therapy on Human Dignity in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure Undergoing Hemodialysis

Background: Chronic renal failure is a life-threatening condition; patients due to the prolonged stress are very susceptible to mental health problems. Dignity therapy is a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of psychological problems for patients who suffer from life-threatening illnesses. Aim: This study examined the impact of dignity therapy on human dignity in patients undergoing he...

Prevalence and correlates of restless legs syndrome in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by an unpleasant sensation in the legs. This syndrome is a common, yet unrecognized, disorder. The aim of this project was to study the prevalence and correlations of RLS in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in Shahid Rahnemon hospital, Yazd (Iran). Materials and Methods: This descriptive cr...

Salivary function in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in salivary gland function in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS The group consisted of 23 patients with CRF (13 female, 10 male; mean age: 40 +/- 13 yr) and 14 healthy control subjects (mean age: 40 +/- 13 yr). All underwent dynamic salivary gland scintigraphy with gustatory stimulation. After i...

Nail disorders in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.

BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure affects almost all the systems of the body, including the skin and appendages. The nail disorders most commonly found in patients with chronic renal failure are half and half nails, absent lunula and splinter hemorrhages. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the spectrum and the frequency of nail disorders in patients with chronic renal failure submitted to hemodialysis and...

Periodontal parameters and BANA test in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze the periodontal parameters of patients with chronic renal failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS The periodontal status of 16 Brazilian patients aged 29 to 53 (41.7 ± 7.2) years with chronic renal failure (CRF) and another matched group of 14 healthy controls with periodontitis was assessed clinically and microbiologically. Probing pocket depth (PPD), gi...
