Introduction: The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rapidly increasing in Tanzania. There a rapid expansion hemodialysis (HD) services to meet this demand. quality HD services, which usually termed inadequacy, under-reported. Therefore, the objective study was determine prevalence inadequacy using two equations, urea reduction ratio (URR) and Kt/V its associated factors. correlation bet...

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 ...

Reuse of dialysers is being practiced since the start of hemodialysis (HD) service in Nepal, which is cost effective as well as safe. A retrospective study was done in Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital. We reviewed case records of the year 2008 and retrieved required data such as pre and post urea, post dialysis weight and ultrafiltration volume from 186 sessions of dialysis of 60 pat...

OBJECTIVE Comparative study to evaluate the impact of a hybrid renal replacement technique (HRRT) vs a continuous renal replacement technique (haemodiafiltration) on hemodynamic tolerance, azotemic control, and mortality in critical care patients with acute renal failure. SETTING a 14-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU). MATERIAL AND METHODS Two groups of patients were retrospectively compared: p...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Several temporary venous catheterizations are sometimes required for acute renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the intensive care unit (ICU). This study compares first and second catheterizations in the femoral and jugular veins in terms of patient safety. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A crossover study from the catheter-dialysis randomized study (Cath...

While the central role of the viral upstream regulatory region (URR) in the human papillomavirus (HPV) life cycle has been well established, its effects on viral replication factor expression and plasmid replication of HPV type 16 (HPV16) remain unclear. Some nonprototypic variants of HPV16 contain altered URR sequences and are considered to increase the oncogenic risk of infections. To determi...

This study assessed hemodialysis adequacy in pediatric centers. Monthly adequacy data were requested in NAPRTCS enrollees on hemodialysis for at least 6 mo. Data forms were returned for 147 children from 32 centers. Data are presented for the 138 children (57% boys, 45% black) that were dialyzed 3 times/wk, representing 2282 patient-months of follow-up. Pre- and postdialysis BUN levels were rep...
