Effects of inulin supplementation on markers of mineral and bone metabolism and the gut microbiota in hemodialysis patients
… patients with kidney failure undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) treatment. Restriction of dietary phosphorus along with phosphate binders represents an important part of the treatment of MBD. However, due to this restriction along with a potassium-restricted diet, HD patients limit a variety of …

Tissue Sodium in CKD Patients
… 23 dialysis (10 peritoneal dialysis (PD) and 13 hemodialysis (HD)) subjects participated in the study. 23Na concentration in all four tissues was significantly higher in dialysis patients compared to controls (p-value23Na of HD, PD and CKD groups. Tissue sodium levels correlated strongly with …

ASSOCIATION OF INCIDENT DIALYSIS MODALITY WITH PATIENT SURVIVAL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
… to either peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) proved to be extremely challenging, previous meta-analyses were greatly limited due to the inclusion of historical studies. Methods: We performed a systematic review by searching multiple databases up to April 22nd, 2022. The …

Assessing cognitive dysfunction in the hemodialysis population
… with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis treatment experience cognitive impairment due to a variety of risk factors; most of which stem from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the dialysis process itself. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in cognitive functioning …

Fluid and blood pressure management in maintenance hemodialysis patients
… has guidelines for treating hypertension in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but it does not provide specific recommendations for managing polypharmacy and deprescribing anti-hypertensive medications. When patients transition from non-dialysis CKD to chronic HD therapy, the requirement for …

The effect of acute intradialytic exercise on cardiovascular responses in hemodialysis patients
In patients with kidney failure requiring hemodialysis (HD) treatment, intradialytic exercise (IDEX, exercise during HD treatment) has been advocated for its feasibility and effectiveness for improving important health outcomes. However, IDEX as an adjunct therapeutic strategy is infrequently …

The Effects of an Intra-Dialytic Exercise Program on Self-Efficacy and Physical Activity: A Pilot Study
… program on SE and physical activity (PA) in hemodialysis (HD) patients and determined the appropriateness and sensitivity of the selected outcome measures and proposed intervention. Methods: HD patients were randomized into an Exercise group (EX, n=4) or a Control group (CON, n=4). The EX …

Advance care planning conversations: the family perspective
… of endstage renal disease (ESRD) and receiving hemodialysis (HD) treatment is complex and filled with uncertainty. Part of this illness experience includes making end-of-life (EOL) care decisions. Many families are unprepared to make such decisions. Advance care planning (ACP) creates an …

Improving Blood Pressure Control In Esrd Through A Supportive Educative Nursing Intervention
… <p>Problem: Hypertension in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients contributes significantly to their morbidity and mortality. Statistics indicate the hypertension rate amongst HD patients ranges from 75 to 100 %. Studies have indicated that adherence rates to self-care behaviors related …

The Effect of Preload Reduction on Parameters to Evaluate Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
… of this study was to evaluate the effect of the hemodialysis related preload reduction on conventional and new Doppler indices of LV diastolic function. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Forty five patients(29 men, mean 51±14 years old) who have end stage renal disease underwent echocardiography immediately …
