Presentation

cardiac function gains 11 of 23 working-age but unemployed patients returned to full-time work while on therapy Ting (Mountain View, CA; 96-present) 30 patients Short (2 hours) Center-based 30% 55% (hematocrit levels increased by 7.5%) 50% 21 of 30 [web.archive.org]

Arteriovenous (AV) fistula thrombosis is a serious complication in patients undergoing hemodialysis, often presenting with symptoms of venous hypertension, failure to dialysis and uremic symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fever may be present without local signs. Clotting of the vascular access presents as loss of normal bruit or palpable thrill. There may be signs or symptoms of distal limb ischemia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Workup

A 3-month-old boy with failure to thrive was referred to a nephrology clinic after a diagnostic workup for failure to thrive revealed a serum urea nitrogen level of 95 mg/dL and creatinine level of 3.6 mg/dL. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(See Workup .) [3] The cutaneous lesions of bullous disease of dialysis are cosmetically distressing and interfere with the use of the hands. [emedicine.medscape.com]

There are currently no recommendations to obtain bleeding times in dialysis patients routinely as part of the preoperative workup. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Treatment

While the water in your home might be safe to drink, it is not safe to use for your home hemodialysis treatments. [davita.com]

Endovascular treatment was tried but we could not succeed. However, we found endovascular treatment safe and effective in treating AV fistula failures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The number of hours per treatment and the number of treatments per week vary because each type of treatment works at a different speed. [rochesterregional.org]

Dialysis treatment is prescribed by your doctor. Together, you and your doctor will discuss treatment options and determine what's right for you. [freseniuskidneycare.com]

Dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that removes waste and extra fluid from the blood, using a filter. In peritoneal dialysis ( PD ), the filter is the lining of the abdomen, called the peritoneum. [web.archive.org]

Prognosis

As mentioned in the introduction, PD is characterized by a better initial prognosis, and an equal or worse late prognosis. [doi.org]

This case demonstrates that proactive combination therapy can be extremely useful for preserving both RRF and peritoneal function, indicating a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology

KEYWORDS: Clinical features; Diagnosis; Dialysis encephalopathy; Etiology; Examination; Treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Because plasma porphyrin levels in individuals with chronic renal failure may be mildly elevated, [4] or occasionally high enough to overlap levels seen in porphyria patients with normal renal function, [5] porphyrin photosensitization may play [emedicine.medscape.com]

Polymicrobial infections suggest an intra-abdominal process, and other etiologies, such as ischemic bowel, perforation, or diverticulitis should be considered. Metronidazole with ampicillin and ceftazidime can be used empirically. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Epidemiology

We recommend that the clinical relevance of these epidemiological associations be tested using randomized controlled trials of multifaceted interventions. © 2018 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Devereaux, research fellow in the departments of Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University and lead author on the study. "Private for-profit facilities have to generate profits to satisfy shareholders and pay taxes. [buffalo.edu]

Epidemiology The frequency of bullous disease of dialysis among dialysis populations in the United States has not been accurately determined but may be similar to that reported from several European surveys. [emedicine.medscape.com]

As it is an epidemiological study, no causal conclusions can be drawn. The initial PD results may be due to better preservation of RRF, or to hitherto unidentified comorbid factors. [doi.org]

Understanding the causes of this disease and the efforts to prevent and treat it would help improve the prognosis and quality of life of affected patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
