Background Bacterial infections are very common in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients. The diagnosis of sepsis in such patients is often challenging and requires a high index of suspicion. The aim of this study is to report on a series of patient with ESRD on hemodialysis (HD) ...
mortalityPatients with ESRD treated by dialysis have higher annual mortality rates caused by sepsis compared with the GP, even after stratification for age, race, and DM. Consequently, this patient population should be considered at high-risk for the development of lethal sepsis....

Preliminary data have produced conflicting results regarding whether initial vitamin C levels in patients with severe sepsis correlate with mortality outcomes. We hypothesized that low plasma ascorbic acid or thiamine levels in severe sepsis patients admitted from the Emergency Department (ED) to the Inte...
Serum phosphate levels have been reported to be linked to the prognosis in critically ill patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the trajectory of changes in serum phosphate levels on the short-term mortality risk in patients wi
Infections are reported to be the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease among ESRD patients32. In a US study, the risk of dying from sepsis was increased several 100-fold in ESRD patients as compared with the general population32. These findings could in part be explained ...

In addition to alterations in the cells of the innate immune system, studies of lymphocytes (adaptive immune system) isolated from ESRD patients have shown increased markers of basal activation and apoptosis, but decreased proliferative responses to mitogens [73, 74]. This altered response is ...
