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]

• Resistant Hypertension

  CASE REPORT In a renal dialysis unit, patients were screened for therapy-resistant hypertension, which was defined as an outpatient blood pressure >160/100 mmHg and a blood pressure by interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) >130/80 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

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]

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 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 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]
