Blood pressure and residual renal function in patients undergoing hemodialysis

Residual Renal Function in Hemodialysis Patients

Sonographic measurement of renal size in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis: Correlation with residual renal function

Previous studies have reported that renal size may change when the function is compromised. However, it is not known whether sonographically measured renal size reflects the residual renal function (RRF) in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. A total of 140 patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (≥3 months) were investigated in the present study. The patients were divided into two group...

Association Between Hypertension and Residual Renal Function in Hemodialysis Patients

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in hemodialysis patients. The decline of residual renal function increases the prevalence and severity of risk factors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients. Hypertension is common in dialysis patients and represents an important independent factor of survival in these patients. Methods. The study include...

Salivary function in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in salivary gland function in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS The group consisted of 23 patients with CRF (13 female, 10 male; mean age: 40 +/- 13 yr) and 14 healthy control subjects (mean age: 40 +/- 13 yr). All underwent dynamic salivary gland scintigraphy with gustatory stimulation. After i...

Prevalence and correlates of restless legs syndrome in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by an unpleasant sensation in the legs. This syndrome is a common, yet unrecognized, disorder. The aim of this project was to study the prevalence and correlations of RLS in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in Shahid Rahnemon hospital, Yazd (Iran). Materials and Methods: This descriptive cr...
