Cardiovascular Disease in End-stage Renal Disease

Hong Kong Journal of Nephrology, 2006
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. It accounts for nearly half of the mortality in end-stage renal disease patients on maintenance dialysis treatment. The spectrum of cardiovascular disease is diverse, including vascular disease and myocardial disease, and the two commonly ...

MEDIMP: 3D Medical Images with clinical Prompts from limited tabular data for renal transplantation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Renal transplantation emerges as the most effective solution for end-stage renal disease. Occurring from complex causes, a substantial risk of transplant chronic dysfunction persists and may lead to graft loss. Medical imaging plays a substantial role in renal transplant monitoring in clinical practice. However, graft supervision is multi-disciplinary,

The Thyroid in End-Stage Renal Disease

Medicine, 1988
Previous studies of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) indicate that the prevalence of goiter varies from 0 to 58% while that of hypothyroidism ranges from 0 to 9.5%. In addition, altered serum thyroid hormone levels are present in euthyroid patients with ESRD and may be related to nonthyroidal disorders including malnutrition.

Segmentation of diagnostic tissue compartments on whole slide images with renal thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) manifest in renal biopsy histology with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic findings. Precise diagnostic criteria for a renal biopsy diagnosis of TMA are missing. As a first step towards a machine learning- and computer vision-based analysis of wholes slide images from renal biopsies, we trained a segmentation ...
