Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is advantageous in the treatment of patients with chronic kidney failure, providing much greater freedom and flexibility than conventional haemodialysis systems, and is more suitable for out-patient use at home. Significant on-going concerns over PD, however, ar...
The key for successful dialysis for patients with kidney failure is the proper timing and amount of fluid removal. But determining the correct level of patient hydration has up to now been g
Some medical conditions and medications can increase the need for folate, increase its excretion, or interfere with its utilization: pregnancy and lactation, liver disease, kidney dialysis, malabsorption, alcohol abuse, triamterene, barbiturates, anticonvulsant medications, sulfasalazine, metformin, and meth...

As kidney function is impaired, the inability to maintain adequate phosphorus and calcium levels results in compensatory mechanisms involving parathyroid hormone. Resultant increases in bone metabolism to release calcium to the system cause bone deformation, pain, and an increased risk of fractures. Suppl...
