Introduction: Uric acid is one of the most significant uremic toxins accumulating in chronic renal failure patients treated with standard dialysis. Its clearance has not any exact relation with urea and creatinine clearance. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between adequacy of dialysis and serum level of uric acid in dialysis patients of some dialysis center...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Cognitive impairment is common in hemodialysis patients and may be impacted by multiple patient and treatment characteristics. The impact of dialysis dose on cognitive function remains uncertain, particularly in the current era of increased dialysis dose and flux. METHODS We explored the cross-sectional relationship between dialysis adequacy and cognitive function in a cohort ...

Background: Inadequacy of dialysis is one of the main causes of death in hemodialysis patients. Some studies have suggested that highflux membrane improves removal of moderatemolecules while other studies no significant on them. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the dialysis adequacy of low-flux versus high-flux membranes in Hemodialysis Patients. Patients and Methods: Forty ...

BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent complication of haemodialysis. Reducing the temperature of the dialysis fluid is a simple therapeutic strategy but is relatively underused. This may be due to concerns regarding its effects on symptoms and dialysis adequacy. We performed a systematic review of the literature to examine the effects of cool dialysis on intradialytic blood p...

BACKGROUND Increasing dialysate flow rates (Qd) from 500 to 800 ml/min has been recommended to increase dialysis efficiency. A few publications show that increasing Qd no longer led to an increase in mass transfer area coefficient (KoA) or Kt/V measurement. Our objectives were: 1) Studying the effect in Kt of using a Qd of 400, 500, 700 ml/min and autoflow (AF) with different modern dialysers. ...

Introduction: Dialysis quality is an important factor in reducing inability and mortality chronic kidney failure patients can enhance their life social activity. Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to examine the efficacy dialysis based on urea reduction rate (URR) associated factors hemodialysis due lack clarity adequacy dialysis. Patients Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional st...
