Progressive dialysis encephalopathy (“dialysis dementia”)

Journal of Neurology, 1980
Sixty cases of distinctive progressive and fatal encephalopathy have been reported in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. An analysis of their records reveals that mean duration of hemodialysis prior to onset is 2.5 years, while mean duration of clinical course until death is 6.3 months.

Incremental peritoneal dialysis

Peritoneal Dialysis International, 2020
Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been variably defined. It involves taking advantage of the residual renal function that is usually present at initiation of dialysis to initially prescribe less onerous lower doses of PD while still achieving ...

Biocompatible dialysis fluids for peritoneal dialysis

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014
The longevity of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited by high rates of technique failure, some of which stem from peritoneal membrane injury. 'Biocompatible' PD solutions have been developed to reduce damage to the peritoneal membrane.This review aimed to look at the benefits and harms of biocompatible PD solutions in comparison to standard PD solutions

Dialysis

Current Protocols in Protein Science, 1995
AbstractThis appendix describes dialysis of large‐ and small‐volume samples using cellulose membranes with pore sizes designed to exclude molecules above a selected molecular weight. A support protocol describes preparation of membranes for dialysis.

Dialysis outcomes as a measure of adequacy of dialysis

Seminars in Nephrology, 2005
Truly adequate dialysis would restore patients to full health, with functional status and length of life indistinguishable from others of the same age, sex, and race without chronic kidney disease. We are far from achieving such outcomes, however, in part because of the dearth of available evidence on which areas of care should be emphasized to get the

Principles of dialysis and dialysis of drugs

The American Journal of Medicine, 1977
Consideration of the interactions of drugs and dialysis must include an understanding of the mechanisms of transport during dialysis, i.e., diffusion, ultrafiltration and membrane-protein binding effects. Clearance is a function of molecular size, blood and dialysate flow, membrane area and permeability, and dialyzer support geometry.

Complementary Dialysis for Daily Dialysis

Blood Purification, 2004
The greatest benefit of PD ist the continuous maintenance of a stable electrolyte and acid-base balance, as well as a continuous solute, sodium and water removal. Moreover, PD is effective in preserving residual renal function (RRF). However, when RRF declines, complications will occur if not compensated for by an increase in both the dialysis dose and

Exploring Barriers and Potential Solutions in Home Dialysis: An NKF-KDOQI Conference Outcomes Report.

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2019
Home dialysis therapy, including home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, is underused as a modality for the treatment of chronic kidney failure.

Peritoneal dialysis

Nursing Standard, 2005
Peritoneal dialysis has much to offer patients with chronic renal failure who wish to manage their care and live relatively independent lives. The authors discuss different peritoneal dialysis treatments, patient selection, benefits and the management of potential complications.
