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…

Evaluation of diagnostic criteria for analgesic nephropathy in patients with end-stage renal failure: results of the ANNE study

1995

It was found that in Belgium, renal imaging techniques, demonstrating a decreased renal mass of both kidneys combined with either bumpy contours or papillary calcifications, were the only methods to reliably diagnose analgesic nephropathy (AN) in patients with end-stage renal failure. However, these criteria were selected in an area with a high prevalence of this disease (15.6% of the dialysis population at December 1990). To evaluate the criteria selected to diagnose AN in populations with lower or unknown prevalences of AN, the Analgesic Nephropathy Network of Europe (ANNE) was formed, consisting of 23 dialysis units from 14 European countries and Brazil. During 1991-1992, 598 new patient…

Hemodiálisis musical para mejorar la ansiedad y depresión

2020

[ES] Siempre ha habido consciencia de los efectos musicales en las personas y en la sociedad, por lo que ha resultado necesaria la aplicación de la música en la curación de pacientes, en la educación, en la expresión de las emociones y en otras muchas situaciones, como así dan fe una larga lista de opiniones y testimonios literarios. Se sabe que el efecto directo de la música ha sido estudiado en diferentes patologías durante los últimos años , a través de la musicoterapia, por los efectos positivos que tiene para la salud, pero en este estudio, la música clásica se escucha en directo, lo que es bastante novedoso y hay pocas evidencias científicas de sus beneficios. El objetivo de nuestro e…

[The role of the anesthesiologist in secondary hyperparathyroidism].

2010

In the last years the increasing of diabetes and hypertension has produced a considerable increase of patients with chronic renal failure; secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the major complications. The resection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue is the ultimate goal of the treatment. The preoperative examination by the anesthetist is the starting-point of the treatment. The anesthetist programs hemodialysis, the correction of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities and of the anaemia. In the operating room the anesthetist is involved in the careful monitoring of liquid infusion and anesthesiological procedure. The intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay is an essential tool be…

Towards the first proof of the concept of a Reverse ElectroDialysis - Membrane Distillation Heat Engine

2019

Abstract The coupling of Reverse Electrodialysis with Membrane Distillation is a promising option for the conversion of waste heat into electricity. This study evaluates the performances of the integrated system under different operating conditions, employing validated model and correlations. This work provides a detailed description of the behaviour of a real RED-MD heat engine and indicates the set of inlet concentrations, velocities and equipment size which returns the highest cycle exergy efficiency. These operating conditions were selected for the pilot plant developed within the EU-funded project RED Heat to Power. For the first time, a perspective analysis was also included, consider…
