OBJECTIVE To study the influence of peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions on the formation of early glycated products and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). DESIGN AND PATIENTS The formation of both Amadori albumin and AGEs in glucose- and icodextrin-based PD fluids was analyzed in vitro and in peritoneal effluents of continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) patients. RESULTS Albumin ...

Back ground information: The aim of the study is to assess nutritional status among ESRD patients on Haemodialysis by means Subjective Global Assessment ( SGA) and also know impact comorbid illnesses status. Materials methods: group included respondents suffering from who were Dialysis centre at Vedanta Hospitals in Guntur. was conducted 50 36 men 14 women).Those met criteria enrolled into stud...

OBJECTIVE Assays for serum total glycated proteins (fructosamine) and the more specific glycated albumin may be useful indicators of hyperglycemia in dialysis patients, either as substitutes or adjuncts to standard markers such as hemoglobin A1c, as they are not affected by erythrocyte turnover. However, their relationship with long-term outcomes in dialysis patients is not well described. RE...

Serum albumin levels have been used as a representative marker for morbidity and mortality in the dialysis population. We evaluated the significance of various biochemical values in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with a history of peritonitis. In 51 patients [27 women, 24 men; mean age: 42.6 years (range: 19 - 70 years); average duration of PD: 28.26 +/- 23.1 months] with history of peritoni...

A mathematical model for fluid transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions. Non-constant steady-state solutions of the model are studied. The restrictions on the parameters arising in the model ...

BACKGROUND Although previous research has demonstrated that referral to pre-dialysis clinics is associated with favourable objective outcomes, the benefit of a pre-dialysis clinic from the perspective of patient-perceived subjective outcomes, such as quality of life (QOL), is less well defined. METHODS A retrospective incident cohort study was conducted to determine if pre-dialysis clinic att...

Abstract Background and Aims Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most common home treatment, associated with lower societal costs increased patient autonomy. During routine PD, exact amount of fluid inside peritoneal cavity in general unknown, catheter may also change position, which lead to a large residual volume, inefficient dialysis, potentially harmful overfill. A practical, clinical method es...

In the ICU setting, current guidelines recommend echinocandins as the first-line treatment for invasive candidiasis [1]. Albumin dialysis (AD) has been used in the ICU as supportive therapy for hepatic failure, but this technique can significantly enhance drug elimination [2]. We prescribed anidulafungin for suspected invasive candidiasis in a patient with severe liver failure treated with AD a...

The anthropometry-bioimpedance analysis-nutrition (ABN) score is a recently proposed objective method of assessing malnutrition in children on chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) that uses nine parameters based on anthropometry, skinfold thickness and bioimpedance analysis. The aim of this prospective, cross-sectional study was to apply it to children treated with CPD in seven Italian paediatric ...
