BACKGROUND Home-based dialysis, including peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD), is associated with improved health related quality of life and reduced health resource costs. It is uncertain to what extent initial preferences for dialysis modality influence the first dialysis therapy actually utilized. We examined the relationship between initial dialysis modality choice and firs...
BACKGROUND Deficits in the transfer of information between inpatient and outpatient physicians are common and pose a patient safety risk. This is particularly the case for vulnerable populations such as patients with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. These patients have unique and complex health care needs that may not be effectively communicated on standard discharge summaries, which...
Background: There are several reports of different cutaneous manifestations in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) managed by repeated hemodialysis, in the literature. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of skin manifestations in patients suffering from CRF who are on long-term hemodialysis. Patients and Methods: The skin manifestations of 108 CRF patients who u...
A nationwide statistical survey of 4226 dialysis facilities was conducted at the end of 2010, and 4166 facilities (98.6%) responded. The number of new patients introduced into dialysis was 37,512 in 2010. This number has decreased for two consecutive years since it peaked in 2008. The number of patients who died in 2010 was 28,882, which has been increasing every year. The number of patients un...
Background & Aim: Hemodialysis increases the survival of patients with chronic renal failure. However, prolonged hemodialysis causes some complications including abnormal bone changes. This research was done to evaluate the frequency of the radiological changes of osteoarthropathy in hand joints in hemodialysis patients referred to Hashemi-Nejad Hospital. Patients & Methods: In a cross-sect...
Home dialysis modalities are underutilized in the USA with only 8% of the dialysis patients undergoing renal replacement therapy at home versus 92% being treated with center hemodialysis. This is in contrast to the nephrology professionals' opinion about the best dialysis therapy and their potential choice in the hypothetical situation of choosing a dialysis modality for themselves. Pre-dialysi...
Although there is a perception that the use of peritoneal dialysis is declining worldwide, compilations of global data are unavailable to test this hypothesis. We assessed longitudinal trends in the use of peritoneal dialysis from 1997 to 2008 in 130 countries. The preferred data sources were renal registries, followed by nephrology societies, health ministries, academic centers, national exper...
BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has recently become an important issue. It reportedly affects morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In this study, we investigated whether early referral and planned dialysis improve the HRQOL and depression of patients with ESRD. METHODS We prospectively enrolled newly diagnosed patients with ESRD, from 31 h...
Patients receiving dialysis are at high risk for sudden cardiac death. Although clinical trials have shown that implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are effective in improving survival in a variety of populations, dialysis patients have been routinely excluded from these analyses. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the available evidence regarding the effectiveness of...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Comorbid conditions such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are common in patients with a diagnosis of brain metastasis (BM). Renal replacement therapy for ESRD typically includes hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. However, the efficacy immunotherapy (IT) delivery dialyzed is not well understood. Therefore, treatment modalities BM and must be considered during clinical de...
