and malnutrition in the elderly.Offering assisted peritoneal dialysis to unstable or frail elderly ESRD patients will help to perform the procedure at home and improve the technique survival.All these strategies for the care of elderly PD patients will results in better survival and quality of life...
(CKD).Methods: In a case series we used a so-called "dialysis free protocol" consisting of a low protein diet, uremic toxin adsorbents, and prebiotics for selective ESRD patients who haddialysis access constraints or did not agree placement of hemodialysis vascular access or peritoneal dialysis ...
and his colleagues reviewed the medical charts of 131 ESRD patients who had a heart attack while they were on dialysis. They looked to see if the timing of dialysis had any effect on patients' heart health following their heart attack. About half of the patients ...
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and concomitant end-stage liver disease with ascites pose unique management problems. Hemodynamic instability combined with bleeding and metabolic derangements make delivery of renal replacement therapy (RRT), a challenging proposition for the nephrologist. The...
The data are used to assess trends in physician care for ESRD patients and likely changes in program costs. The analysis shows that patients with glomerulonephritis are the youngest. Those with hypertensive nephropathy are the oldest, and include the highest proportion of blacks, while those with ...

on volume load in ESRD patients. Methods A total of 36 patients subjected to peritoneal dialysis in our hospital were selected and randomized into group A (n=16) and group B (n=20). Patients in group A were...
The main therapy for mucositis and peri-implantitis is the nonsurgical approach, which includes manual treatment, drug therapy, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy. A significant finding is that nonsurgical periodontal therapy was sufficient to improve the periodontal condition of ESRD patients, and ...
Impact of dialysis modality on survival of new ESRD patients with congestive heart failure in the United States. BACKGROUND: It is hypothesized, but not proven, that peritoneal dialysis might be the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with es... AG Stack,DA Molony,NS...
In insulin-dependent diabetic patients intraperitoneal insulin substitution can be used. The development of new, more biocompatible PD solutions holds promise for the future. Nevertheless, in many countries HD is further more favoured in the treatment of patients with ESRD. 展开 ...
