Gitelman Syndrome: a Сlinical and Molecular Overview
Gitelman syndrome (OMIM #263800) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder due to loss of function mutations of SLC12A3 gene, encoding the thiazide-inhibitable, electroneutral Na+-Cl– cotransporter (NCC) of the distal convoluted tubule.

Immediate access arteriovenous grafts versus tunnelled central venous catheters: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Background Autologous arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the optimal form of vascular access for haemodialysis. AVFs typically require 6 to 8 weeks to “mature” from the time of surgery before they can be cannulated.

The therapeutic efficacy of lipid nanoparticle(LNP)‐based drugs depends on endosomal escape. However, few methods are available for quantifying the efficiency of endosomal escape in vivo. Herein, a novel method for quantifying the endosomal escape efficiency index using magnetic resonance imaging is introduced.

Current dialyzer classification in Japan and mortality risk in patients undergoing hemodialysis
Dialyzers are classified into five types based on their β2-microglobulin clearance rate and albumin sieving coefficient: Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb. In addition, a new classification system introduced a type S dialyzer.

An empiric estimate of the value of life: updating the renal dialysis cost-effectiveness standard.
OBJECTIVES Proposals to make decisions about coverage of new technology by comparing the technology's incremental cost-effectiveness with the traditional benchmark of dialysis imply that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of dialysis is seen a ...

Effects of Disinfectants in Renal Dialysis Patients [PDF]
Patients receiving hemodialysis therapy risk exposure to both disinfectants and sterilants. Dialysis equipment is disinfected periodically with strong solutions of hypochlorite or formaldehyde. More recently, reuse of dialyzers has introduced the use of additional sterilants, such as hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid.

Predicting immune responses to treatments, including nanomedicines, with high throughput test is challenging due to the immunoreactome's complexity and plasticity. A predictive screening platform integrating pathway activation and gene profiling in macrophages has been developed as a versatile tool for designing effective immunotherapies.

A thematic synthesis of the experiences of adults living with hemodialysis [PDF]
Background and objectives In-center dialysis patients spend significant amounts of time on the dialysis unit; additionally managing ESKD affects many aspects of life outside the dialysis unit.

Residual renal function in incremental dialysis [PDF]
Incremental haemodialysis has the potential to allow better preservation of renal function, is less invasive to the patient and has lower cost. Despite these advantages, it is not commonly applied. This may be due to uncertainty about how to account for renal function in the prescription of dialysis and measurement of dose.
