Background and aims: Hemodialysis (HD) is considered as the main method of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in many countries including Iran. Given the limited number of epidemiological studies in this regard at the provincial level across the country, the present study aimed to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of ESRD patie...

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at an increased risk of acquiring the hepatitis B (HB) virus and having lower protective antibody levels as well as shorter durations of seroprotection. This study aims to determine the immune response of HB vaccination in HD patients referring to dialysis centers of the Tehran North Health Network. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was co...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We investigated which dialysis unit blood pressure (BP) is the most useful for predicting home BP in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). METHODS Patients undergoing HD who had been treated > 3 months were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were hospitalized patients with acute illness and changes in dry weight and anti-hypertensive drugs 2 weeks before the study. We...

Serum erythropoietin (EPO) concentration was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 31 cases of chronic renal failure (CRF), including 20 hemodialysis (HD) patients, and compared with that of 31 healthy normal controls. Each patient served as a self-control comparing his or her pretreatment level with post-treatment values. There was a significant negative correlation ...
