Potentially pathogenic circulating autoantibodies to cardiac troponin are present in hemodialysis patients.
(2016-11)
Introduction Repetitive dialysis-induced cardiac injury is associated with elevated troponin levels, inflammation, and longitudinal reduction in cardiac function. Pathogenic autoantibodies to cardiac troponins (cTnAAb) ...
National survey of vascular access services for haemodialysis patients
(2017-11)
There is much variation in the provision of dialysis access in the UK. To address this, a multiprofessional vascular access special interest group was formed to raise awareness and encourage implementation of clinical ...
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Fatigue in Patients on Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review.
(2017-11)
BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients receiving hemodialysis. We aimed to identify and evaluate the characteristics and psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures for ...
Creation of an arteriovenous fistula is associated with significant acute local and systemic changes in microvascular function.
(2013-08)
BACKGROUND: Native arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the vascular access of choice for haemodialysis. The consequences of AVF formation on microvascular function, locally or systemically, are unknown. METHODS: We recruited ...
Patient Perspectives on the Meaning and Impact of Fatigue in Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review and Thematic Analysis of Qualitative Studies.
(2019-08)
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Fatigue is a highly prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients on hemodialysis therapy due to the uremic milieu, the hemodialysis treatment itself, and other comorbid conditions. However, fatigue ...
Identifying dimensions of fatigue in haemodialysis important to patients,caregivers, and health professionals: an international survey.
(2019-07)
BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures of fatigue used in research in haemodialysis vary widely in the dimensions assessed; and the importance of these dimensions to patients and health professionals is unknown. ...
The Association of Nutritional Factors and Skin Autofluorescence in Persons Receiving Hemodialysis.
(2018-10)
OBJECTIVE: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are uremic toxins that result from hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation. AGEs are also formed in food during cooking. On the other hand, malnutrition ...
Peritoneal dialysis has optimal intradialytic hemodynamics and preserves residual renal function: Why isn't it better than hemodialysis?
(2018-10)
Rates of cardiovascular mortality are disproportionately high in patients with end stage kidney disease receiving dialysis. However, it is now generally accepted that patient survival is broadly equivalent between the two ...
Brain white matter microstructure in end-stage kidney disease, cognitive impairment, and circulatory stress.
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1542-4758, 2019-07)
INTRODUCTION: Structural and functional brain white matter abnormalities are poorly characterized in patients with end-stage kidney disease. METHODS: We examined the prevalence of the brain white matter microstructure ...
