Abstract Background End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) are a vulnerable group of with increased mortality from COVID-19. Despite improved understanding, the duration host immunity following COVID-19 infection and role serological testing alone or in addition to real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) HD population is not fully unders...

INTRODUCTION Indications for renal replacement therapy (RRT) have not been generally standardized and vary among intensive care units (ICUs). We aimed to assess the proportion, indications, and modality of RRT, as well as the association between the proportion of RRT use and 90-day mortality in patients with septic shock in Finnish adult ICUs. METHODS We identified patients with septic shock ...

Abstract Introduction/Objective Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a global threat until the present. Most of infected patients are asymptomatic which can challenge in controlling spread disease. Antibody detection chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) is good complementary test Real-Time Reverse Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) as an indi...

We read with interest the article published by Zou et al. [1] regarding the timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) post-cardiac surgery. The authors claim that their meta-analysis shows that early RRT initiation decreases 28-day mortality in this context. This meta-analysis included a mix of observational (retrospective and prospective) s...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Observational evidence has suggested that RRT modality may affect recovery after AKI. It is unclear whether initial choice of intermittent hemodialysis or continuous RRT affects renal recovery, survival, or development of ESRD in critically ill patients when modality choice is made primarily on hemodynamics. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We performed ...

BACKGROUND Rapid response teams (RRTs) attend severely ill general ward patients whose average 30-day mortality is near 30%. A major part of RRT patients are over 75 years old, but there are no studies on the characteristics and outcome of this geriatric RRT population. We compared the characteristics and outcome of geriatric RRT sub-population with the RRT patients <75 years old. We further in...

BACKGROUND Renal replacement therapy (RRT) incidence has increased significantly in Sweden during the past decades. This study analyses variations in time and regional trends in RRT incidence in Sweden, adjusted for age and gender, focusing on the impact change in incidence during the last decade. METHODS Using data from the Swedish Renal Registry (SRR) (21 counties in Sweden, total populatio...
