We present the case of a 58-year old female with de novo dialysis-dependent acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to myeloma cast nephropathy. The patient underwent extended high cut-off haemodialysis (HCO-HD), in conjunction with bortezomib-based chemotherapy, and soon became dialysis independent with normal renal function. To our knowledge, this is the first time this treatment strategy has bee...

Hyperthyroidism should be suspected in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who exhibit signs and symptoms including weight loss, tremor, palpitation or atrial fibrillation (Af) [1–5]. This report presents the case of an 82-year-old Japanese female on maintenance haemodialysis (HD) and paroxysmal Af (pAf). Although the serum thyroid hormone levels were within normal reference values for a yo...

Abstract: Viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) & Hepatitis C (HCV)) related liver disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality especially in the patients with advanced renal failure who are treated dialysis, this due to high number blood transfusion sessions and/or cross contamination from dialysis circuits. Aims Objectives: This study aimed determine prevalence HBV HCV infecti...

BACKGROUND The major determinants of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in haemodialysis (HD) patients are not fully known. We studied chronic HD patients to assess the effect of cyclic variations in both hydration status and blood pressure on PWV. METHODS Twenty patients were examined along three consecutive HD sessions and interdialysis periods during a week-long period. Twenty healthy subjects and ...

End-stage renal disease patients have endothelial dysfunction and high plasma levels of ADMA (asymmetric omega-NG,NG-dimethylarginine), an endogenous inhibitor of NOS (NO synthase). The actual link between these abnormalities is controversial. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated whether HD (haemodialysis) has an acute impact on NO-dependent vasodilation and plasma ADMA in these pat...

UNLABELLED Vancomycin is widely used in haemodialysis (HD) patients for treating infections of vascular access due to St. Aureus. To avoid subtherapeutic levels it is important to know the adequate dosing in patients undergoing haemodialysis with high flux membranes. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether HD patients treated with 1 g intravenous (IV) vancomycin reached optimu...

Abstract Background and Aims There is a paucity of data concerning safety fasting in Ramadan End stage kidney disease patients (ESKD) on haemodialysis (HD). The aim the present study was to assess possible effect nutritional status (clinical, biochemical variables), inflammatory adequacy haemodialysis. This observational carried out during 2022 when duration around 14 hours. Method Sixty-five s...

BACKGROUND There has not been a comprehensive examination to date of peritoneal dialysis (PD) outcomes after temporary haemodialysis (HD) transfer for peritonitis. METHODS The study included all incident Australian patients who experienced peritonitis between 1 October 2003, and 31 December 2011, using Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry data. Patients were grouped into...
