we have used recombinant human erythropoietin (r-huepo) in children with chronic renal failure. there was significant improvement in anemia and wellbeing, along with regression of left ventricular mass and no change in the rate of decline of renal function. it is safe and effective in the pre-dialysis as well as the hemodialysis period. considering the benefits of r-huepo, transplantation in ch...

introduction: chronic renal disease (c.r.d) is a pathophysiological process due to progressive and irreversible decrease in number and function of nephrons in the kidney. anemia is one of the most important complications in crd patients. anemia is caused mainly due to diminished production of erythropoietin (epo), which is treated by weekly injection of the epo. l-carnitine added to epo can inc...

background endothelial injury is a well-known complication in chronic kidney disease (ckd) and hemodialysis. one of the sites in which early vascular changes may be detected is the retina. of course, these flow changes may not be detected in ophthalmologic exams, but it seems that color doppler sonography of retinal arteries may be helpful in these cases. objectives in previous studies on ckd p...

background and objectives: hemodialysis (hd) is one of the therapeutic modalities patients. since inadequate dialysis increases mortality and morbidity of patients, therefore, assessment of dialysis adequacy is clinically important. for this reason, hemodialysis adequacy was determined in patients undergoing maintenance hd at the mostafa khomeini hospital, tehran, iran. materials and methods: t...

inner ear cells are sensitive to some metabolic and hormonal disorders, but the relation between chronic renal failure (crf), regular dialysis treatment (rdt) and sensorineural hearing loss (snhl) is still a debatable field. the object of this paper was to verify the presence of snhl in patients submitted to hemodialysis with different duration due to crf and in those submitted to conservative ...

Chronic kidney failure is a progressive and irreversible damage in which there an occurrence of being unable to transport the body’s metabolic waste or its regular functions, thus requiring hemodialysis therapy. Hemodialysis causes changes body image such as physical weakness, nausea, vomiting, balance disorders, increased levels uremic blood, muscle aches, edema. This study aims determine pati...
