Computational modelling of peritoneal dialysis: an overview [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is becoming more popular as a result of a rising interest in home dialysis, lower intrusion in social life and longer preservation of residual kidney function. However, PD has several important drawbacks: small solute clearance is relatively low compared to hemodialysis and technique survival is limited.

Edema Estimation From Facial Images Taken Before and After Dialysis via Contrastive Multi-Patient Pre-Training [PDF]
Edema is a common symptom of kidney disease, and quantitative measurement of edema is desired. This paper presents a method to estimate the degree of edema from facial images taken before and after dialysis of renal failure patients. As tasks to estimate the degree of edema, we perform pre- and post-dialysis classification and body weight prediction ...

Peritoneal dialysis is becoming more important in the management of patients with end-stage renal disease. Because of the efforts of the "Fistula First Breakthrough Initiative," dialysis venous access in the United States has become focused on promoting arteriovenous fistula creation and reducing the number of patients who start dialysis with a ...

Peritoneal dialysis during peritonitis [PDF]
Peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis is the most frequent complication associated with this dialysis technique. We studied patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis when they were without peritonitis and during episodes of clinical infection. Peritonitis was associated with a significantly decreased dialysate effluent volume, increased absorption of ...

Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters [PDF]
In peritoneal dialysis, a well-functioning catheter is of great importance because a dysfunctional catheter may be associated with exit-site infection, peritonitis, reduced efficiency of dialysis, and overall quality of treatment, representing one of the

Stump pyometra in a spayed female dog secondary to tamoxifen
A 2‐year‐old spayed female dog treated successfully for sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis for 11 months with tamoxifen, cyclosporine, and a short‐term course of prednisone began developing signs of enlarged vulva and discharge. A stump pyometra was confirmed on ultrasound and computed tomography and exploratory laparotomy was performed to remove the
