The two most prevalent causes of end-stage renal disease nowadays are thought to be diabetic mellitus (DM) and hypertension (ESRD). In addition discussing the function DM in ESRD, this study reviews glucose metabolism treatment hyperglycemia these patients. Although strict glycemic control ESRD patient survival were not significantly correlated numerous big trials, it is advised that prioritise...

Cardiovascular disease is a major concern for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), especially those on hemodialysis. ESRD patients with coronary artery disease often do not have symptoms or present with atypical symptoms. Coronary lesions in ESRD patients are characterized by increased media thickness, infiltration and activation of macrophages, and marked calcification. Several studie...

BACKGROUND The availability of more effective treatments for severe lupus nephritis may have influenced the rate at which end-stage renal disease (ESRD) develops in these patients. OBJECTIVE To examine changes in the incidence of ESRD due to lupus nephritis from 1982 to 1995. METHODS All patients with incident ESRD included in the US Renal Data System from 1982 to 1995 were studied. The US ...

BACKGROUND Regional variability in the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Austria is reported. Our aim was to investigate the reason for low rates in the state of Tyrol. METHODS ESRD incidence data were obtained from the Austrian Dialysis and Transplantation Registry. Additional sources were two health interview surveys, the Hospital Discharge Registry, the Mortality Registry and ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cognitive impairment is a well-described phenomenon in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. However, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. The primary focus of this study was to examine structural and functional brain deficits in ESRD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty ESRD patients on hemodialysis (without clinical neurological disease) and 30 age- and ge...

BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have elevated cancer risk. Cancer risk increases with age, but associations of ESRD with specific malignancies are incompletely studied for older individuals. METHODS We conducted a population-based case-control study (1,029,695 cancer and 99,610 controls) among the U.S. elderly using SEER-Medicare linked data. We defined ESRD as presenc...

BACKGROUND Uremia is likely a risk factor for deep neck infection (DNI). However, only a few relevant cases have been reported, and evidence sufficient to support this hypothesis is lacking. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on DNI. METHODS We used the database of the Registry for Catastrophic Illness Patients (RFCIP), a subset of the Nationa...

Diabetic nephropathy is the most important cause of ESRD. The aim of this study was to develop a risk score from risk predictors for ESRD, with and without death, in the Reduction of Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan (RENAAL) study and to compare ability of the ESRD risk score and its components to predict ESRD. The risk score was developed from coefficients of inde...
