Characterisation of antibody populations in renal dialysis patients : their role in renal transplant outcome
… a first graft or a regraft. In highly sensitized patients the clinical relevance of a positive crossmatch against a particular donor is difficult to determine because it may be due to damaging (presumed antiHLA) and/or non-damaging (presumed non-HLA) antibodies. An in vitro assay has been …

Magnesium Transport In Mammalian Erythrocytes And Its Effect On Platelet Aggregation
… of various drugs. Healthy human controls and patients suffering from acute renal failure who are undergoing treatment via haemodialysis (Pre- and Post-dialysis) were employed for the study. The effects of varying extracellular Mg 2+ on platelet aggregation was also investigated employing …

Family stress and hemodialysis: an analysis of family stress variables
Most prior research on stress and hemodialysis has focused on physical, psychological and staff-patient dimensions. Little research has been conducted on the correlates of stress experienced by dialysis patients in th~ context of the family. The purposes of this investigation were to operationalize …

Oxidative stress and inflammation as a response to glucose exposure and dialysis
… by the negative influences of uraemia and dialysis treatment. In addition, trace element status is also affected in dialysis patients. Hyperglycaemia contributes to glucose degradation products (GDP) and advanced glycation end product (AGE), inducing inflammation, oxidative stress and cell …

Dialysis nurses discussing advance care planning and death and dying with patients
BACKGROUND Dialysis nurses in New Zealand look after dialysis patients dealing with a chronic life-limiting illness: end stage kidney disease. The nurses often develop close relationships with their patients and become involved in discussions about death and dying with them and their families. …

Tissue Sodium in CKD Patients
Introduction: Sodium hemostasis is altered in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to long term loading, and sodium (23Na) can be deposited in the skin, muscle and skeleton. We measured 23Na content in these tissues of CKD patients, using 23Na magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Methods: …

The impact of vascular calcification on ambulatory and central aortic blood pressure in a South African dwelling dialysis population : a clinical, radiological and pathophysiological study of vascular health in a young prevalent dialysis population in a developing country
… ventricular mass index (LVMI) in South African dialysis patients. ... Black race significantly protects from VC in South African CKD-5D patients and warrants further study. The AXR is a useful screening tool for CCS in our population. VC does not appear to influence CASP in our population.
