The efficacy of single suture for exit site wound closure and stabilization of hemodialysis central tunneled catheter

2021

Introduction: The majority of the end-stage renal disease patients begin hemodialysis with the central tunneled catheter as a permanent or bridge vascular access. The procedure of central tunneled catheter insertion can be complicated by exit site bleeding, prolonged tunnel healing, and infection. The study aimed at evaluating whether the catheter exit site wound closing with a single-suture method is equally effective as the double suture method, which is most frequently applied. The assumption was that the single-suture method, which is less traumatizing for the skin, could offer an advantage for the patients with “paper” skin, that is, elderly, after long-term immunosuppressive treatment…

Multiple osteoartikuläre Komplikationen (dialyse-assoziierte Spondarthropathie) und Karpaltunnelsyndrom bei chronischer Hämodialyse

2008

Abstract During a nine-year treatment by haemodialysis for renal failure a now 57-year-old woman developed multiple complications of the skeletal system. Acute calcific periarthritis of the right shoulder became manifest one year after the start of the haemodialysis, followed the next years by progressive arthropathy with subchondral amyloid cysts of both shoulders, effusions in the knee-joint and destructive spondylarthropathy of the middle vertebrae. Carpal-tunnel syndrome also occurred, caused by a beta 2-microglobulin amyloidosis (beta 2-microglobulin concentration in serum 42.6 ng/l) and an aluminium osteopathy. These multiple complications, observed here in one patient, are each of th…

P1055REMARKABLE REMOVALS OF BETA-2-MICROGLOBULIN AND PHOSPHATE WITH SHORT-DAILY HOME HEMODIALYSIS USING LOW DIALYSATE FLOW RATE

2020

Abstract Background and Aims Short-daily hemodialysis (HD) with low-dialysate volume is an appealing portable dialysis approach for home use. Although this type of HD has proved being effective for the volume control and the clearance of low molecular-weight uremic toxins, limited data are available on the impact on the removal rates of other uremic toxins like β2-microglobulin (β2M) or phosphate (P), whose clearance is limited by sequestration into compartments, poor diffusion, high time-dependency, or protein binding. We evaluated the impact of short-daily HD with slow dialysate flow rate on the removal of solutes of different molecular weights and distribution volumes. Method Single-sess…

Supplemented ERA-EDTA Registry data evaluated the frequency of dialysis, kidney transplantation, and comprehensive conservative management for patien…

2021

The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of dialysis and kidney transplantation and to estimate the regularity of comprehensive conservative management (CCM) for patients with kidney failure in Europe. This study uses data from the ERA-EDTA Registry. Additionally, our study included supplemental data from Armenia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Slovenia and additional data from Israel, Italy, Slovakia using other information sources. Through an online survey, responding nephrologists estimated the frequency of CCM (i.e. planned holistic care instead of kidney replacement therapy) in 33 countries. In 2016, the overall incidence of rep…

Experience in Spain with the first patients in home hemodialysis treated with low-flow dialysate monitors

2021

Resumen La hemodialisis domiciliaria (HDD) con monitores de bajo flujo de liquido de dialisis ha ganado popularidad en los ultimos anos gracias a su sencillez de diseno, portabilidad y capacidad de desplazamiento. No obstante, existen dudas respecto a la adecuacion que este tipo de tecnica ofrece, pues utiliza monitores con bano a flujos bajos y lactato. El objetivo de este estudio fue demostrar los beneficios clinicos de la HDD con el monitor NxStage System One® introducido recientemente en Espana. Presentamos los resultados de un estudio observacional, retrospectivo que incluyo de manera no seleccionada a los primeros pacientes con HDD corta mediante este monitor en 12 centros en Espana. …

On the question of extracorporeal hemodialysis in diquat intoxication.

1975

Extracorporeal hemodialyses were carried out in a female patient with severe diquat intoxication. Diquat clearance was on average, 3.17 ml/min. Only 0.84 mg diquat could be eliminated from the blood serum by 11.5 hrs of dialysis. Hemodialysis is therefore not an efficient technique for removing amounts of diquat from the organism that are toxicologically relevant one day after ingestion.
