the excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone in secondary hyperparathyroidism (shpth) is suggested to interfere with normal erythropoiesis.  in shpth, during chronic renal failure, due to the impairment of erythropoietin synthesis, this effect is more pronounced.  in the present study the role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in the severity of anemia was evaluated in hemodialysis patients (n=3...

Hemodialysis can be a stressful treatment as it requires significant self-management behaviors that are crucial to optimize dialysis adequacy and patients' quality of life. Self-management interventions increase individuals' confidence skills effectively manage their chronic illness. However, research has shown the positive effects on life adherence people hemodialysis often partial short-lasti...

Background: Anemia is a common problem that often occurs in patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. 56.5% of hemodialysis were still have anemia, while on the other hand, achievement adequacy only reached 52.7%. Disparity data basis for this research. The aim study to analysis relationship between incidence anemia hemodialysis.Methods: This uses descriptive correlation cross sectional approa...

INTRODUCTION Retrospective studies showed that hemodiafiltration was associated with a reduced risk of mortality compared with standard hemodialysis in the patients with end-stage renal disease. Recently, a few prospective randomized clinical trials found no advantage in survival with hemodiafiltration as compared with high-flux hemodialysis and low-flux hemodialysis. The aim of this study was ...

Poor diet quality is one of strong predictors of subsequent increased mortality in hemodialysis patients. To determine diet quality and to define major problems contributing to poor diet quality in hemodialysis patients, a cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2009 and October 2010. Sixty-three hemodialysis patients (31 men, 32 women; aged 55.3 ± 11.9 years) in stable condition were ...

The basics of targeting, writing, adjusting, and monitoring a hemodialysis prescription are reviewed for patients being dialyzed 3 or 4 times a week. K/DOQI 2006 adequacy guidelines and practice recommendations are reviewed, and a practical method using a variety of nomograms is suggested to monitor and adjust the desired level of Kt/V.

Introduction: Uric acid is one of the most significant uremic toxins accumulating in chronic renal failure patients treated with standard dialysis. Its clearance has not any exact relation with urea and creatinine clearance. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between adequacy of dialysis and serum level of uric acid in dialysis patients of some dialysis center...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Cognitive impairment is common in hemodialysis patients and may be impacted by multiple patient and treatment characteristics. The impact of dialysis dose on cognitive function remains uncertain, particularly in the current era of increased dialysis dose and flux. METHODS We explored the cross-sectional relationship between dialysis adequacy and cognitive function in a cohort ...

p eritoneal dialysis has undergone considerable change since it was first used in managing end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the early 1960s. Its use then was predominantly as a holding procedure for hemodialysis, and as such, it was used in a very limited number of patients. With the introduction of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in 1976, the use ofPD has increased d...
