Renal Dialysis and its Financing
Hospital Topics, 2016The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and its associated comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension continue to increase as the population ages. As most ESRD patients qualify for Medicare coverage, the U.S. government initiated reforms of the payment system for dialysis facilities in an effort to decrease expenditures associated with ...

, 2016 Dialysis and Renal Transplant in a Hemophiliac
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1981SummaryHemodialysis was initiated in a mild-moderate hemophiliac at 15 years of age. Hematuria had been a frequent and persisting feature from the age of five years without documented cause. Anemia and proteinuria was first detected at 13 years. A cadaver donor renal transplant was carried out after three months of hemodialysis.

End-stage renal disease, the most severe form of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a devastating disorder with mortality rates at least 30 times higher than that of age-matched peers. Children with less severe forms of CKD also suffer from lower quality of life, more disabilities, and more comorbidities than healthy children. Protein energy wasting (PEW)

Peritoneal Dialysis and Renal Transplantation
2009Peritoneal dialysis is commonly used in patients awaiting renal transplantation. The occurrence of delayed graft function is lower in CAPD patients than in hemodialysis patients. This could be explained by the fluid expansion observed in CAPD patients before renal transplantation.

Whither Dialysis and Renal Transplantation?
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1974ABOUT a year ago, on July 1, 1973, the federal government activated a new law under which it assumed fiscal responsibility for the treatment of end-stage kidney disease in all patients covered by Social Security. This marks the culmination of a decade and a half during which two dramatic therapies for irreversible kidney failure have come to maturity ...

Renal Replacement II: Dialysis Dose
Critical Care Clinics, 2005Improved survival of critically ill acute renal failure patients can be correlated with therapy dose. The overall solute elimination can be measured by the product of clearance and time (Kt), which is usually normalized for the volume of distribution (V) of the solute as "Kt/V." Setting a Kt/V threshold of 1.4 can guide clinicians toward adequate ...

During a recent conversation with a colleague in general practice, he made the observation that home haemodialysis was the one situation in his professional life where he found the patient invariably knew more about his own treatment than himself, and it is the purpose of this chapter to attempt to remedy some of this potential deficiency.

A discussion of the sexual concerns of patients with end-stage renal disease must be viewed as a “quality of life” issue. Unlike other basic physiological drives such as the need for food, water, and sleep, fulfillment of sexual needs is not a necessary condition for survival.

Renal Osteodystrophy and Maintenance Dialysis
1979In this discussion, the term ‘renal osteodystrophy’ will be used in a generic sense to include all the clinical syndromes of skeletal disease and altered calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) homeostasis resulting from renal failure. The skeletal pathology can include osteitis fibrosa and other features of secondary hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia ...
