Dialysis is not the ideal renal replacement therapy because it does not fully restore all kidney functions. Increasing evidence suggests that preservation of residual renal function is associated with a survival benefit, a decrease in morbidity, better nutrition, a lower level of inflammatory markers, an improved quality of life, and cost savings by obviating the need for more peritoneal dialys...

Kidney failure is the principal cause of death in scleroderma and accounts for at least 50% of deaths in this disease. Management of scleroderma-related end-stage renal disease requires some form of renal replacement therapy. Survival up to 18 months has been reported in one patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Surviving for more than 1 year on automated peritoneal dialysis has...

Renal failure is a situation in which kidney fails to function adequately. There are two forms of renal failure: acute and chronic. End-Stage renal disease is the final stage of chronic renal failure where there is a progressive, irreversible deterioration in renal function which can be substituted by renal replacement therapy, haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis, or transplantation. The ai...

introduction: adherence to diet and fluids is the cornerstone of patients undergoing hemodialysis. by informing hemodialysis patients we can help them have a proper diet and reduce mortality and complications of toxins. face to face education is one of the most common methods of training in health care system. but advantages of video- based education are being simple and cost-effective, althoug...

conclusions overall, 4.3% of patients had positive results for gbv-c/hgv and all negative for hiv, hcv and hbv. further studies are needed to elucidate real prevalence, risk factors and characteristics of hgv infection in iranian hemodialysis patients. results in total, 81 males and 57 females were included. the mean age of patients was 62.16 ± 14.86 years. six (4.3%) had positive results for g...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Comorbid conditions such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are common in patients with a diagnosis of brain metastasis (BM). Renal replacement therapy for ESRD typically includes hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. However, the efficacy immunotherapy (IT) delivery dialyzed is not well understood. Therefore, treatment modalities BM and must be considered during clinical de...

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years through five stages. Free radicals are formed in all living organisms during normal cell metabolism. Patients with chronic renal failure who are regulary dialysed are candidates for free radical damage. The aim of this study was to explore the role of decreased renal function on resistin ...
