One-hundred and sixteen children with ESRD were registered in Shiraz Pediatric Hemodialysis Center in Nemazee Hospital, a referral center in the south of Iran, from 1990 to 1999. Very small children are not dialysed in this center due to technical problems. The age range of children in this center was 2-16 years, mean age was 10.4±3.6 years and male to female ratio was 1.4.

SELL (L-selectin) is a candidate gene for several complex diseases including diabetes mellitus and renal failure. Our aim was to investigate the involvement of P213S SELL gene polymorphism (rs2229569) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related end stage renal disease (ESRD). Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without ESRD (n=250) or with ESRD (n=90), ESRD patients without diabetes (n=119) an...

Renal transplant is now the accepted mode of treatment of end stage renal disease (ESRD). The major causes of ESRD being diabetes mellitus, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease and other/unknown. The most common glomerular disease in renal allograft biopsies is transplant glomerulopathy, i.e., those lesions related to transplant rejections. Other glomerulonephropathies (G...

The proportion of patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT), with concomitant renal dysfunction, markedly increased after allocation by the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was introduced. We examined the incidence of subsequent post-LT end-stage renal disease (ESRD) before and after the policy was implemented. Data on all adult deceased donor LT recipients between April 27, ...

BACKGROUND The patient characteristics and mortality associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) have not been characterized for a national sample of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on the renal transplant waiting list. METHODS 40,493 patients in the United States Renal Data System who were initiated on ESRD therapy between 1 April 1995 and 29 June 1999 and late...

Background. Prior studies have demonstrated that conventional and emerging CV risk factors are associated with worsening arterial stiffness among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis. The present cross-sectional study evaluates the association between the etiology of ESRD and arterial stiffness among a cohort of hemodialysis patients. Methods. Etiology of ESRD was identified ...

BACKGROUND Maintenance hemodialysis is a popular treatment modality of renal replacement therapy for end stage disease patients. The clinical profile end-stage (ESRD) and dialysis in Mid Western Nepal are scarce. This study aimed to the ESRD patients undergoing at tertiary care Hospital.
 METHODS was single center based cross sectional observational carried out over period from 15th Decemb...

Chronic renal disease is a major health issue in various parts of the world. The number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing in both developed and developing countries, greatly expanding the need for chronic dialysis and renal transplantation. In the year 2000, approximately 205,000 and 240,000 patients with ESRD were currently maintained on chronic dialysis in Japan an...

BACKGROUND Increased risk of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and death in Norwegian living kidney donors has been reported, most of the donors were related to the recipient. The present study investigates risk of death in first degree relatives of ESRD patients. METHODS The Norwegian Population Registry, The Norwegian Cause of Death Registry and the Norwegian Renal Registry were linked. All ci...

BACKGROUND End-Stage renal disease (ESRD) causes considerable morbidity and mortality, and significantly alters patients' quality of life. There are very few published data on this problem in the French Overseas territories. The development of a registry on end stage renal disease in French Guiana in 2011 allowed to describe the magnitude of this problem in the region for the first time. METH...
