Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019 BACKGROUND Residual renal function (RRF) confers survival in patients with ESRD but declines after initiating hemodialysis. Previous research shows that dialysate cooling reduces hemodialysis-induced circulatory stress and protects the brain and heart ...

A Bayesian Framework for Non-Collapsible Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper, we discuss the non-collapsibility concept and propose a new approach based on Dirichlet process mixtures to estimate the conditional effect of covariates in non-collapsible models. Using synthetic data, we evaluate the performance of our proposed method and examine its sensitivity under different settings.

Modeling water transport processes in dialysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Mathematical modeling is an important theoretical tool which provides researchers with quantification of the permeability of dialyzing systems in renal replacement therapy. In the paper we provide a short review of the most successful theoretical approaches and refer to the corresponding experimental methods studying these phenomena in both biological ...

A Flexible Joint Longitudinal-Survival Modeling Framework for Incorporating Multiple Longitudinal Biomarkers [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We are interested in survival analysis of hemodialysis patients for whom several biomarkers are recorded over time. Motivated by this challenging problem, we propose a general framework for multivariate joint longitudinal-survival modeling that can be used to examine the association between several longitudinally recorded covariates and a time-to ...

Sevelamer attenuates the progression of coronary and aortic calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Kidney International, 2002 BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is frequent and severe in patients with end-stage renal disease. Disorders of mineral metabolism may contribute by promoting cardiovascular calcification.

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019 The high frequency of cognitive impairment in individuals on hemodialysis is well characterized. In-center hemodialysis patients are disproportionately affected by cognitive impairment compared with other dialysis populations, identifying hemodialysis ...

Hemodialysis international. International Symposium on Home Hemodialysis, 2018 Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those with end‐stage renal disease, have an increased risk of death. Previous studies have suggested neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was related to worse outcome in patients undergoing ...
