background: infl ammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (il-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tnf-α) are elevated in end-stage renal disease (esrd). il-6 and tnf-α are toxins which deteriorate renal function, and their pathogenic role has been confi rmed in cardiovascular and oral diseases. this study was designed to investigate the salivary levels of il-6 and tnf-α in patients with esrd un...

This article presents recent studies on factors affecting choice of self-care dialysis from around the world, denoting the relationship between early pre-end stage renal disease (ESRD) education and increased selection of self-care dialysis modalities. Style and content of various pre-ESRD education programs, barriers to early pre-ESRD education, and programs designed to decrease late referral ...

Renal disease is common throughout the world. In the United States alone, almost 100,000 people began renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in 2001(Kimmel & Peterson, 2005); by 2008, this number had increased to 485,000 patients (Collins et al., 2009). More than 90% of these patients were started on hemodialysis (HD), while only 8.5% began RRT with peritoneal dialys...

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) had a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including peripheral artery (PAD). The presence PAD in hemodialysis patients leads to an increase the incidence amputation and mortality. However, early diagnosis is still challenging. Clinical manifestation ESRD often atypical manifestations present severe manifestations. We reported case right...

Accepted : 15.08.2011 is the kidney, as oxalate cannot be metabolized and is excreted in the urine, leading to nephrocalcinosis, recurrent urolithiasis, and subsequent renal impairment. The infantile form often presents as a life-threatening condition because of rapid progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), due to both early oxalate load and immature GFR: onehalf of affected infants expe...

Mortality among the patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains high because of the very high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as coronary artery disease, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure. Identifying CVD in patients with CKD/ESRD remains a significant hurdle and the early diagnosis and therapy for CVD is crucial in these patients. T...
