Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the dentomaxillofacial radiographic changes in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who were on hemodialysis. Methods: Parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) measurements, as well as Panoramic and periapical radiographs were obtained from seventy four patients with a history of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Re...

conclusions literature search revealed an increased prevalence of hypothyroidism with secondary hpth from renal failure. although there is increased prevalence of hypothyroid state in secondary hpth from renal failure, the association appears much weaker in primary hpth and again no conclusive pathological relation has been identified between the two endocrine glands. a closer look and perhaps ...

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing worldwide. Although increased levels of coeliac disease (CD) autoantibodies are often seen in renal disease, the importance of biopsy-verified CD for the risk of future ESRD is unclear. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the risk of future ESRD in individuals with CD. METHODS This was a population-based p...

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The long-term association between AKI and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in an Asian population is unknown. Given the high prevalence of diabetes and a younger age of presentation for cardiac surgery, it is important to track this progression of kidney disease. Therefore, we studied ...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The coexistence of high thromboembolic and hemorrhagic risks, added to lack strong scientific evidence on safety anticoagulants setting failure, makes this a clinically challenging situation. Objectives To describe clinical-demographic profile prevalence AF population ESRD undergoi...

AIM The basic aim of this study was to discover the association of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) with various risk factors. End Stage Renal Failure is the last stage of the chronic renal failure in which kidneys become completely fail to function. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data were collected from the patients of renal diseases from three major hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. Odds ratio ana...

abstract introduction. end stage renal disease (esrd) is the last stage of the decending process of structural and functional distruction of kidneys. this process is often combined with acute diseases like glumerulonephritis and pyelonephritis. uremic smell of mouth, enamel hypoplasia and defects, increase in dental debries, periodontal diseases, considerable delay in bone and dental age and fa...

Patients with renal failure, usually end-stage renal disease (ESRD), commonly are afflicted by severe pruritus. The pathogenesis of ESRD pruritus is unknown, but improving the quality of dialysis can reduce the prevalence and severity of ESRD pruritus. Topical and systemic agents as well as broadband ultraviolet phototherapy can be extremely beneficial. Gabapentin has been recently discovered a...

Family history of renal disease has been associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It is uncertain whether this risk is mediated by familial aggregation of risk factors for ESRD, such as diabetes and hypertension. The association of ESRD with familial aggregation of renal disease was examined in a large, population-based case-control study conducted in Maryland, Virgi...
