Accumulation of uremic toxins is associated morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease, but the pathogenic mechanisms how they lead to various clinical complications remain elusive. Conventional hemodialysis is effective in removing small molecular solutes (in the range of
Introduction:
The Kidney Disease Improved Global Outcomes (KDIGO) defines Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as a decline of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 60 mL/min/1.72 m2SC, associated with structural or functional abnormalities in a period greater than three months. CKD it's classified in
Introduction
Background and rationale
Since the release of the recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO) at the beginning of the 90s, transfusions are less needed to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease patients. This has been a major revolution in the management of renal anemia in chronic kidney
Background:
Insulin resistance (IR) and its associated metabolic disorders are common features of chronic kidney disease (CKD)and accumulating evidence suggested they are important contributors for the cardiovascular burden of CKD patients. In recent years, the modification of the intestinal flora
General description :
This protocol is multicenter (University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG), Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), Hospital of Sion (HVS), dialysis center of the Champel clinic in Geneva and dialysis center of the Cécil clinic in Lausanne) and encompasses two parts, a cross-sectional and
BACKGROUND. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions of people worldwide. Cardiovascular (CV) events cause more than 50% of the mortality risk in CKD patients, and the relative excess mortality is observed in younger patients, below 45 years of age. Decreased renal function led to changes in
Patients All patients starting active end stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment at the participating centres and their satellite centres.
No. Patients: 1000.
1. Patients who have received their recent predialysis care at another centre can be included if the previous centre's notes are available,
Background
High convection volume OL-HDF techniques constitute progress towards renal replacement therapy which is most similar to the native kidney. These techniques offer a higher clearance of uremic substances with a greater range of molecular sizes, they require the use of biocompatible
Detailed description:
Many peritoneal dialysis patients suffer from uremia due to inadequate dialysis or volume overload caused by failure of peritoneal membrane transport.One of the most important etiologies of peritoneal membrane failure are unavoidable to use high glucose-containing dialysate
A Study Of The Effect Of Hemodialysis Vascular Access Type On Markers Of Inflammation PI: Michele H. Mokrzycki MD, MS
Introduction/Background: The prevalence of chronic inflammation is high (35-65%) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients and is associated with an increased risk of
Background Platelets play an important role in cardiovascular disease both in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and in the development of acute thrombotic events. Their importance in coronary disease and in acute coronary syndromes is indirectly confirmed by the benefit of antiplatelet agents
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a state of increased arterial stiffness of extensive vessel calcifications, compared with the non-renal population. Both arterial stiffness and arterial calcifications are potent predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in ESRD patients. Underlying
Alport syndrome (AS) represents a form of progressive hereditary nephritis in which the genetic defect resides in the synthesis of one of several subunits of type IV collagen, the predominant constituent of basement membranes in glomeruli, eye, cochlea. From a genetical point of view, the disease is
