The article reports on the study published online in "Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation" which revealed that patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) experience a decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ...
Chronic kidney disease can progress to the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) characterized by a high risk of morbidity and mortality. ESRD requires immediate therapy or even dialysis or kidney transplantation, therefore, its timely diagnostics is critical for many patients. ESRD is associated with patho...

Setting dialysis start at 6.0 ml/min/1.73 m2 eGFR–a study on safety, quality of life and economic impact BACKGROUND: End-stage renal disease care requires enormous economic resources. A timely dialysis start could reduce the costs of the renal replacement ther... ML Di,T Serena,P Andrea,...
Distinguish between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. How does the high concentration of urea in the cells of the inner medulla surrounding the nephron make it possible for the fluid in the tubule to become concentrated (loose water)? Determine if amino acids are ...
The outcomes reported in this manuscript include kidney failure treated by dialysis or transplantation (end-stage renal disease (ESRD)) or coded on the death certificate. In addition, we also included acute kidney injury, because it is increasingly recognized as a major cause for23 and consequence...
Timing of dialysis initiationGFRRenal replacement therapyEnd-stage kidney diseaseThe best time to start chronic dialysis during the course of CKD stage 5 is controversial. The first randomised control trial of dialysis initiation either in early or late CKD stage 5 in adults (IDEAL study), and 3...
Our aim was to firstly compare estimated GFR (eGFR by MDRD equation) with measured GFR (mGFR, mean of creatinine and urea clearance) just before the start of dialysis. Secondly, the relationship of eGFR and mGFR with mortality and muscle mass was analysed.Methods. ESRD patients with 24-h ...
