hemodialysis/구역질

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a rising problem across the world, including Iran. Most of the patients will require hemodialysis for survival. Despite the great progress has been made in the hemodialysis equipment, but it is still associated with complications. Nausea and vomiting are

BACKGROUND Nausea is a major uremic symptom and a frequent indication for starting dialysis. However, preventive medication for uremic nausea has not yet been identified. Vitamin D receptor activators (VDRAs) may prevent uremic nausea via their pleiotropic actions. The objective of this study was to

As maintenance hemodialysis patients are exposed to large quantities of dialysis water, any contamination of it might be reflected in plasma levels. We present a series of cases due to such a contamination. Six maintenance hemodialysis patients dialyzing at the same peripheral hemodialysis facility

Decreases in blood pressure develop in response to a wide range of clinical disorders. Various factors have been implicated in the development of hemodialysis-associated hypotension, including an impairment of the compensatory processes, an autonomic dysfunction or cardiac failure. The additional

Intradialytic hypotension, a major source of morbidity during hemodialysis and ultrafiltration, is often accompanied by paradoxical bradycardia. Relatively little is known about the sequential changes in autonomic nervous system activity up to and during the hypotensive episode. Continuous,

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of lanthanum carbonate (LC) in the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients. METHODS Multiple databases were used to recruit the published clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing LC with placebo for hyperphosphatemia in

BACKGROUND Hemodialysis is a common but potentially hazardous procedure. From February 17 to 20, 1996, 116 of 130 patients (89 percent) at a dialysis center (dialysis center A) in Caruaru, Brazil, had visual disturbances, nausea, and vomiting associated with hemodialysis. By March 24, 26 of the

BACKGROUND Depression affects approximately one-quarter of people treated with dialysis and is considered an important research uncertainty by patients and health professionals. Treatment for depression in dialysis patients may have different benefits and harms compared to the general population due

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with morbidity and mortality. The efficacy and adverse events of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in these patients are unknown. To determine whether treatment with sertraline

Non-dialysis care (NDC) is the provision of all aspects of renal care except for the dialysis process. While the nomenclature may vary, with terms such as 'conservative care', 'maximal conservative management' or 'non-dialytic treatment' having been associated with NDC, the clinical principle is to

BACKGROUND Many factors can impair haemodialysis (HD) tolerance. Some such as age and diabetes mellitus are linked to the patient. Others, such as dialysate, machine, and membrane are linked to the treatment characteristics. The duration of the HD sessions may represent another factor in tolerance

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphatemia is a common problem in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and contributes to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular complications. Nicotinamide (NAM) has been shown in some studies to inhibit

Previous studies have demonstrated that patients on hemodialysis develop intradialytic symptoms when the blood volume decreases to a critical level. Using a continuous monitor (CRIT-LINE; In-Line Diagnostics, Riverdale, UT) to determine the instantaneous hematocrit and blood volume, we observed that
