The researchers are now planning additional clinical trials with dialysis patients. They expect that dialysis, which currently costs the United States more than $40 billion per year, would be one of the biggest applications for this technology. This kind of monitoring could also be useful for pati...
Studies have suggested thatphysical exercisecan provide benefits fordialysis patients. To see if something as simple as walking may have positive effects, a team led by Carmine Zoccali, MD (CNR-IFC, Clinical Epidemiology and Physiopathology of Renal Diseases and Hypertension of Reggio Calabria, Italy...

Specific criteria for determining the need for dialysis were not reported; however, those patients with an increase in serum creatinine without the need for dialysis were not included in this definition. Hypoglycemia is the major potential harm of tight glucose control. We defined hypoglycemia to ...
During the 5-year period of the trial, the proportion of patients who stopped taking their allocated treatment was about one third, but this was not generally due to side-effects and was the same for both real and dummy treatments. If taken without interruption, however, ezetimibe plus simvast...
We have routinely used erythropoietin (EPO) by subcutaneous route of administration in all patients entering our chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) program since its inception in March 1989. The criteria for use of the medication was an anemia with hematocrit (HCT) values less than 30 vol. %. On...
In nondialysis patients, soy intake was associated with statistically significant reductions in serum creatinine (−0.05 mg/dL; P=0.04) and serum phosphorus (−0.13 mg/dL; P=0.04). No significant effects on creatinine clearance, glomerular filtration rate, serum albumin, body weight, or BMI ...
