Influence of haemodialysis on variability of pulse wave velocity in chronic haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The major determinants of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in haemodialysis (HD) patients are not fully known. We studied chronic HD patients to assess the effect of cyclic variations in both hydration status and blood pressure on PWV. METHODS Twenty patients were examined along three consecutive HD sessions and interdialysis periods during a week-long period. Twenty healthy subjects and ...
متن کاملNew strategy to attenuate pulse wave velocity in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is commonly elevated in haemodialysis (HD) patients having cardiovascular diseases. Disturbances in calcium-phosphate metabolism are among the established cardiovascular risk factors in HD patients. The present study was performed to assess the effect of sevelamer on PWV in HD patients. METHODS Fifteen patients, who had been treated with calcium carbonate ...
متن کاملPulse-wave velocity is associated with cognitive impairment in haemodialysis patients
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, its prevalence increasing with age. Cognitive impairment is common in the elderly, in CKD and in those on maintenance haemodialysis. As cognitive impairment is the precursor to dementia, the identification of reversible risk factors for cognitive decline is the key to reducing dementia risk. Arterial stiffness is one such potential risk factor. It is inde...
متن کاملSerum osteoprotegerin level, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and cardiovascular survival in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a marker and regulator of arterial calcification, and it is related to cardiovascular survival in haemodialysis patients. The link between OPG and aortic stiffening--a consequence of arterial calcification--has not been previously evaluated in this population, and it is not known whether OPG-related mortality risk is mediated by arterial stiffening. METHODS...
متن کاملCon: Frequent haemodialysis for all chronic haemodialysis patients.
Frequent haemodialysis (HD) regimens have been proposed with the aim to improve survival and other important patient outcomes. They indeed avoid the long interdialytic interval and have been associated with some proven benefits, i.e. an improvement in blood pressure and phosphataemia control, a reduction in left ventricular mass and lower ultrafiltration rates. However, the actual impact of fre...
