Science Kidney dialisys in diabetes

Abstract Although patients with diabetes mellitus mostly present with enlarged or normal-sized kidneys throughout their life, a small proportion of patients have small kidneys. This longitudinal study enrolled 83 diabetic patients treated with peritoneal dialysis between 2015 and 2019. Patients were divided into two groups, those with enlarged or normal (n = 67) or small […]

Abstract Individuals faced with decisions regarding kidney replacement therapy options need information on how dialysis treatments might affect daily activities and quality of life, and what factors might influence the evolution over time of the impact of dialysis on daily activities and quality of life. 7,771 Peritoneal Dialysis and In-Center Hemodialysis participants from 6 countries […]

Abstract Outcome for critically ill patients with COVID-19 treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is largely unknown. This observational study was conducted at a university hospital in Sweden. There were studied critically ill adult COVID-19 patients with Acute Kidney injury (AKI) who received continuous renal replacement therapy. In 451 patients,  Acute Kidney injury incidence […]

Abstract There are potentially modifiable predictors of kidney recovery, such as dialysis prescription,which have not been fully examined. Retrospective cohort study using United States Renal Data System (USRDS) data was used to identify incident hemodialysis (HD) patients between 2012 and 2016, the first 4 years for which dialysis treatment data is available. Patient and treatment […]

Abstract Renal replacement therapies, especially hemodialysis (HD) in end-stage kidney disease, avoid an inevitable death caused by the disease. However, in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, this therapy could derive a comparable survival than conservative management. Considering that hemodialysis represents a high cost for the health system, it is worth analyzing the effects of hemodialysis […]

Abstract End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a main public health problem, the prevalence of which is continuously increasing worldwide. Due to adverse effects of renal replacement therapies, kidney transplantation seems to be the optimal form of therapy with significantly improved survival, quality of life and diminished overall costs compared with dialysis. However, post-transplant patients frequently […]

Abstract Background: We evaluated whether, in subjects receiving haemodialysis (HD), the presence of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) was associated with increased mortality compared with subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) without DFS and with non-diabetic subjects. Methods: Retrospective, observational study in 220 subjects followed for six years. We calculated and compared the frequency and 5-year cumulative […]
