BACKGROUND Anthropometric and metabolic risk factors for all-cause end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may vary in their impact depending on the specific primary renal disease. METHODS In this Austrian population-based prospective cohort study (n = 185,341; 53.9% women) the following data were collected between 1985 and 2005: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG) from 1988, ...

PURPOSE Patients with ESRD secondary to acquired renal cystic disease have been reported to have a higher incidence of RCC than the general population. We examined the clinical and pathological significance of incidental renal masses in patients with ESRD. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 1994 to July 2000, 852 consecutive patients with ESRD who were being considered for renal transplantati...

OBJECTIVE To describe the distribution of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Guatemala, estimate incidence and prevalence of pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and estimate time to progress to ESRD. METHODS This study analyzed the registry of the only pediatric nephrology center in Guatemala, from 2004-2013. Incidence and prevalence were calculated for annual periods. Moran's in...

Objective: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the complete or almost complete failure of the kidneys to work. This kind of kidney failure is permanent and cannot be fixed. Most cases of ESRD are caused by diabetes or high blood pressure. Now the most effective methods of ESRD treatment are hemodialysis (HD) or kidney transplantation. In China, the pediatric patients with ESRD were increased in d...

BACKGROUND Many cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are ascribed to hypertension. However, because renal disease itself can raise blood pressure, some investigators argue that ESRD seen in patients with hypertension is due to underlying primary renal disease. Previous cohort studies of the relationship between blood pressure and ESRD did not uniformly screen out baseline kidney disease. M...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The clinical epidemiology of CVD in CKD is challenging due to a prior lack of standardized defi nitions of CKD, inconsistent measures of renal function, and possible alternative effects of ‘traditional’ CVD risk factors in patients with CKD. These chal...

Introduction Numerous published studies identify acute kidney injury (AKI) as an independent risk factor for developing incident chronic kidney disease (CKD), progressive CKD, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and other important non-renal outcomes with substantial public health implications. A recent meta-analysis showed that use of highchloride crystalloids in critically ill patients was associ...

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with both accelerated cardiovascular disease and alterations in vitamin D and mineral metabolism. Calcification of both coronary and extra-cardiac vessels is common in ESRD. Several studies suggest that vascular calcification is associated with coronary atherosclerosis, vascular wall stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy, and subsequent increased m...

Quality of life in addition to various medical problems in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) should be objectively assessed to accomplish normal growth and development during childhood. However, unfortunately, studies of quality of life (QoL) in children with ESRD have been not popular yet and there are only fewer suitable assessment tools compared with adults. Recently, disease-spec...

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...
