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...

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate adequacy based Kt/V its related factors among patients undergoing Patients Methods: cross-sectional, multi-center was conducted during six months hemodialysis referred centers the Gu...

BACKGROUND Warfarin nomograms to guide dosing have been shown to improve control of the international normalized ratio (INR) in the general outpatient setting. However, the effectiveness of these nomograms in hemodialysis patients is unknown. We evaluated the effectiveness of anticoagulation using an electronic warfarin nomogram administered by nurses in outpatient hemodialysis patients, compar...

OBJECTIVE End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, especially those with diabetes, have an increased risk of nontraumatic lower-extremity amputation (LEA). The present study aims to examine the association of demographic and clinical variables with the risk of hospitalization for LEA among incident hemodialysis patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study population consisted of incident h...

There was a conflicting result of previous studies about the correlation between anxiety and dialysis adequacy. The aim this study to evaluate association level with adequacy uncover age, leucocyte, hemoglobin in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis during Covid-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional conducted on 139 at hospital Semarang, Indonesia. measured by Hamilton Rating Scale ...

Home nocturnal hemodialysis (HNHD) has been demonstrated to provide a number of benefits for patients on chronic hemodialysis including improvements in dialysis adequacy blood pressure control, cardiac function, hemoglobin, and mineral metabolism status (Chan, 2004; Pierratos, 2004). Unfortunately a large number of chronic HD patients are unable to manage HNHD due to a variety of medical and so...

Abstract Background and Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) can lead to stroke, heart failure, mortality, has a greater prevalence in dialysis patients than the general population. Several studies have proposed that uremic toxins might promote AF development. However, association between adequacy incident not been well established. Method In this retrospective study, we analyzed 27,475 receiving main...
