UNLABELLED The aim of the study was to report a novel technique of forced implantation of catheters for hemodialysis into critically stenosed or occluded central veins, without preceding angioplasty or stenting. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen patients with central venous occlusive disease, requiring urgent hemodialysis underwent this procedure. Catheterization of stenosis - occlusion was initia...

The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with dialysis adequacy in ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis Rwanda. A descriptive cross-sectional conducted. sample size 66 selected using purposive sampling strategy. An interview scheduled guide used collect data. Dialysis calculated kt/v Daugirdas & Schneditz formula. mean 1.26± 0.34. Most participants [41(62%)] had opti...

Background and Objectives: Hemodialysis (HD) is one of the therapeutic modalities patients. Since inadequate dialysis increases mortality and morbidity of patients, therefore, assessment of dialysis adequacy is clinically important. For this reason, hemodialysis adequacy was determined in patients underg...

Dialysis adequacy indices that may be used to evaluate the efficiency of small-solute removal include Kt/V, fractional solute removal (FSR), and equivalent urea clearance (EKR). To analyze possible relationships between those indices, we used the two-compartment variable-volume urea kinetic model to simulate several dialysis modalities: hemodialysis (HD) performed three times or six times weekl...

Introduction: Dialysis quality is an important factor in reducing inability and mortality chronic kidney failure patients can enhance their life social activity. Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to examine the efficacy dialysis based on urea reduction rate (URR) associated factors hemodialysis due lack clarity adequacy dialysis. Patients Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional st...
