conclusions literature search revealed an increased prevalence of hypothyroidism with secondary hpth from renal failure. although there is increased prevalence of hypothyroid state in secondary hpth from renal failure, the association appears much weaker in primary hpth and again no conclusive pathological relation has been identified between the two endocrine glands. a closer look and perhaps ...

background: vaccination against fatal viral and bacterial diseases is still the best protective way to lower morbidity and mortality rate in end‑stage renal disease (esrd) patients. it has been reported that there is high incidence of low protective levels of igg after vaccination in esrd adult patients. the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective status of vaccination against diphther...

one of the complications of end-stage renal disease (esrd) is sensorineural hearing loss (snhl). despite large number of studies on adults esrd patients, there are only a few reported surveys regarding snhl in children. to determine the prevalence of snhl in children with esrd and its relationship with sex of patients, presence of hypertension, history of ototoxic drugs administration and durat...

background: the prevalence of vitamin d deficiency is higher in end-stage renal disease (esrd) patients compared to healthy populations. this deficiency could lead to several complications with different mechanisms and might result in reduced survival in patients. leptin and adiponectin are messenger proteins with endocrine secretion from adipocytes and various effects in cellular mechanisms. t...

background: chronic kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible loss of renal function. anemia is one of the main complications of end-stage renal disease (esrd) which is linked closely with other complications of the disease. the primary therapy for anemia in these patients is erythropoietin (epo). the goal of this study was to find the effect of vitamin d administration in addition to th...

background in the past few decades, chronic kidney disease (ckd) - a disease with progressive decline in renal function - has become an important problem of global public health, not only in developed countries, but also in developing countries with less economic power. objectives in this study, ckd progression to death or end stage renal disease (esrd) in elderly iranian patients was compared ...

conclusions graft failure is more likely to occur in patients with higher serum creatinine levels. results there was a positive association between the serum creatinine level and graft failure (hr = 5.13, p < 0.001). a one unit increase in the serum creatinine level suggests an increased risk of graft failure of up to 5.13 times. the serum creatinine level significantly decreased over time (95%...

patients and methods in this multicenter cross sectional study, 397 consecutive patients on hemodialysis were evaluated by face-to-face interviews. rls was diagnosed using the international rls study group (irlss) criteria. in addition, three validated sleep disorder questionnaires (insomnia severity index, epworth sleepiness scale and pittsburgh sleep quality index) were completed by the patie...
