Background: Patients undergoing dialysis have high mortality rates and a unique risk factor profile. Some improvements elicited by exercise training have been shown in dialysis populations, here we aimed to further explore the benefits of exercise. As well as changes in physical fitness we quantified cardiac function, depression, serum biochemistry, dialysis adequacy and energy intake following...

The Korean Society of Nephrology (KSN) launched a nationwide official survey program about dialysis therapy in 1985. Nowadays, the accumulated data for 30 years by this "Insan Prof. Min Memorial end-stage renal disease (ESRD) Registry" program have been providing the essential information for dialysis clinical practice, academic nephrology research, and health management policy. We reviewed 30 ...

BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation (TX) may ameliorate the neuropsychological (NP) impairments in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Previous studies have suffered from small sample sizes, lack of standardization of dialysis adequacy, and insufficiently sensitive NP tests. METHODS Twenty-eight medically stable patients aged 44.04 (12.01) years with ESRD were investigated before and at 6 months af...

INTRODUCTION As economic development continues in China, it is important to evaluate recent changes in dialysis status. However, China lacks a national dialysis registry. This elevates the need to use local registry systems like the Shanghai Dialysis Registry to gain an overview of dialysis status in developed cities in China. METHODS Data were collected from the Shanghai Dialysis Registry fr...

BACKGROUND It is crucial to assess the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis (PD) because of its influence on patient outcome. Collecting dialysate and urine for 24 h can be rather troublesome, so a simple and inexpensive alternative method for rapidly evaluating adequacy in PD would be very useful. Our study aimed to assess the performance of 12 different creatinine (Cr)-based equations commonly use...

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Intelligent information systems can create an excellent opportunity to nephrologists for appropriate prescriptions, hemodialysis adequacy monitoring, drug prescription, anemia management, blood pressure control and patient education. Indeed, these technologies make sure patient safety and reduce medical errors through identifyin...

There was a conflicting result of previous studies about the correlation between anxiety and dialysis adequacy. The aim this study to evaluate association level with adequacy uncover age, leucocyte, hemoglobin in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis during Covid-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional conducted on 139 at hospital Semarang, Indonesia. measured by Hamilton Rating Scale ...
