The ideal approach to monitor the haematological response of patients with the anaemia associated with chronic renal failure during erythropoietin therapy is controversial. The reticulocyte haemoglobin content (CHr) and percentage hypochromic red cells (% Hypo) may be used as sensitive and specific indicators of functional iron deficiency in clinical situations with otherwise normal red cell in...

ncreasing the prevalence of renal failure cases needing renal replacement therapy (RRT) among refereeing to the emergency department highlights the preparation requirement for services giving to these patients. The limited number of hemodialysis machines, inaccessibility of dialysis machines in all hospitals, large number of patients, and shortage of expert personnel in this field are some of c...

Abstract Background and Aims The use of [131INa] therapy in patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) is still controversial. Considering that the main elimination 131I urinary sessions HD take place wards full other patients, various modifications should be made therapy. Due to limited bibliography lack consensus clinical guidelines we developed this comparative study between two on treated with ...

BACKGROUND Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by hemolytic anemia, low platelets, and renal impairment and is mediated by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). A common perception is that HUS becomes dormant in dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We analyzed patients in a large dialysis organization to understand the potential consequences and burden of HUS. METHO...

INTRODUCTION A well-functioning arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best modality for vascular access in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring haemodialysis (HD). However, AVFs' main disadvantage is the high rate of maturation failure, with approximately one third (20%-50%) not maturing into useful access. This review examine the use of Far-Infra Red therapy in an attempt to enh...

OBJECTIVE To search for the opportunistic and other pathogenic intestinal parasites in dialysis patients, and to compare the methods used for diagnosis. METHODS This is a randomized study, which recruited participants from the dialysis patients. The study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Research Hospital, School of Medicine in Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey between Jun...

BACKGROUND A standardized practical method of post-dialysis blood sampling is required to improve the precision of using urea kinetics in the evaluation of haemodialysis dose and to permit comparative audit. The methods recommended in the Renal Association and Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) guidelines reduce the blood pump speed to a low rate at the end of haemodialysis before bloo...
