Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common bone and mineral metabolism disorder in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to determinate the frequency of the subtypes of ROD and evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical as the well as radiographic markers for the diagnosis of ROD among hemodialysis patients in Golestan province of Iran.  Materials and Methods...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate LRN as treatment for high risk patients. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) is performed for renal tumors not amenable to nephron-sparing treatments. Indications are increasing to include higher risk patients including those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) necessitating dialysis. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a patient cohort with clinical sta...

UNLABELLED Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have emerged as a worldwide public health problem. Due to the remarkably higher incidence and prevalence of this chronic disease in Taiwan than in other countries, CKD/ESRD has contributed to a significant health burden in Taiwan. Patients with CKD/ESRD have an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute co...

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been a widespread disease in many countries, especially in Taiwan. According to the statistics of United States renal data system (USRDS), Taiwan had high rates of incident ESRD and the greatest rates of prevalent ESRD in 2008. Moreover, with the increasing ESRD patients appear, the huge expense becomes a heavy burden in the society. To avoid deterioration, th...

Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare genetic metabolic disease presented severely in infants with end-stage renal (ESRD). Promoting diagnosis aggressive management essential these patients. Here we case of primary type 1 (PH1) seven-month infant girl who underwent dialysis prospective kidney transplantation the future.

A synopsis is given between the relationship of the number of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients to the total Medicare population and their associated expenditures. The aging trend within the ESRD population is examined in terms of enrollment statistics and incidence (new cases) counts. Also, longitudinal trends in expenditures, program enrollment, and incidence of ESRD are included. Findi...

OBJECTIVE Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) with impaired renal function are at increased risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although the rate of progression varies, determinants and mechanisms of this variation are unknown. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined serum metabolomic profiles associated with variation in renal function decline in participants with T1D (the Joslin Kidney...

More than half of 174 patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) treated by the Department of Nephrology, General Hospital Kuala Lumpur in 1982 presented for the first time in uraemia, with no known renal disease in the past. Although about half of all patients seen in 1982 were treated by dialysis or transplantation, the great majority of the estimated number of patients developing ESRD in M...
