BACKGROUND Many factors can impair haemodialysis (HD) tolerance. Some such as age and diabetes mellitus are linked to the patient. Others, such as dialysate, machine, and membrane are linked to the treatment characteristics. The duration of the HD sessions may represent another factor in tolerance since it influences the rate of ultrafiltration. However, its influence has not been studied indep...
BACKGROUND In clinical studies, it has been difficult to evaluate the influence of haemodialysis (HD) parameters on HD clearance (CL(HD)) and reduction rate (RR) of non-ionic contrast medium during HD sessions. We therefore predicted clinical values of CL(HD) and RR of iopromide, a non-ionic contrast medium, from findings obtained from in vitro experiments, and confirmed that these predictive v...
BACKGROUND Elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease. Differences in cTn concentrations between cTnT and cTnI have been reported but the mechanism of such discrepancy has not been investigated. This study investigates the clearance of cTn with the aid of an in vitro model of haemodialysis (HD). METHODS Serum was obtained before and...
INTRODUCTION Adults with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) treated with haemodialysis experience mortality of between 15% and 20% each year. Effective interventions that improve health outcomes for long-term dialysis patients remain unproven. Novel and testable determinants of health in dialysis are needed. Nutrition and dietary patterns are potential factors influencing health in other health se...
The management of patients with acute renal failure (ARF) is very complex and requires meticulous attention to fluid, acid-base and electrolyte balance as well as the removal of uraemic toxins. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important option for treatment of selected patients with ARF, particularly those who are haemodynamically compromised or have coagulation abnormalities. Due to continuous t...
BACKGROUND Sclerostin is a Wnt pathway antagonist regulating osteoblast activity and bone turnover. Here, we assessed the potential association of sclerostin with the development of coronary artery (CAC) and aortic valve calcifications (AVC) in haemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional multi-slice computed tomography (MS-CT) scanning study in 67 chronic HD patients (...
BACKGROUND While cardiovascular events remain the primary form of mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients, few centres are aware of the impact of the hydration status (HS). The aim of this study was to investigate how the magnitude of the prevailing overhydration influences long-term survival. METHODS We measured the hydration status in 269 prevalent HD patients (28% diabetics, dialysis vint...
BACKGROUND An impairment of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and/or metabolism may contribute to the excessive incidence of atherosclerotic complications observed in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Recent evidence indicates that NO metabolism involves a family of NO-related molecules that have not yet been explored in such patients. The aim of our study was to determine the plasma levels of S-nit...
BACKGROUND Neutrophil functions in haemodialysis (HD) patients are altered by uraemia and by HD procedure. We investigated details of the neutrophil dysfunction as its nature and origin is not well understood. This is reflected by conflicting results about neutrophil phagocytosis activity and by scarce data on the neutrophil killing capability in HD patients. METHODS Using a flow-cytometric t...
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical outcomes and mortality rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Kimberley origin receiving haemodialysis (HD) treatment with other subsets of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HD patients (Northern Territory, Western Australia excluding the Kimberley region, the rest of Australia) and Australian non-Indigenous HD patients. DESIGN, PARTICI...
