The influence of renal function on normalized residual activity

open access: yesNuclear Medicine Communications, 2004
To quantify the influence of overall renal function on normalized residual activity (NORA) and to evaluate the modifying factors.A computer simulation model generated renograms by convolution of plasma disappearance curves with artificially created retention functions.

Peritoneal Dialysis and Preservation of Residual Renal Function

Peritoneal Dialysis International, 2009
Residual renal function (RRF) is now generally recognized as an important factor in the prognosis of patients on dialysis. This review summarizes the differences between peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) with regard to RRF. The literature supports PD as having a more beneficial effect on RRF.

Loss of Residual Renal Function in Patients on Regular Haemodialysis

open access: yesThe International Journal of Artificial Organs, 1989
The literature offers scant data on loss of residual renal function in chronic haemodialysis patients. The present study was undertaken in 34 patients, to evaluate residual creatinine clearances (C Cr ) before the start of haemodialysis and after 3, 12 and 24 months. C Cr

The “Heart” of Peritoneal Dialysis: Residual Renal Function

open access: yesPeritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2007
The CANUSA study originally reported the importance of total small-solute clearance in predicting survival of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. However, subsequent reanalysis of data from the CANUSA study clearly demonstrated that the predictive power for mortality in PD patients was largely attributable to residual renal function (RRF) and not to the

Identical decline of residual renal function in high-flux biocompatible hemodialysis and CAPD

open access: yesKidney International, 2002
Identical decline of residual renal function in high-flux biocompatible hemodialysis and CAPD.BackgroundPatients on conventional hemodialysis lose residual renal function more rapidly than patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The

Impact of Hernias on Peritoneal Dialysis Technique Survival and Residual Renal Function

open access: yesPeritoneal Dialysis International, 2013
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the effect of hernias and their surgical or conservative management on peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique survival and residual renal function.METHODS: This 10-year single-center retrospective case-control study (January 2001 ...

An unexpected cause of residual renal function loss

Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2020
The residual renal function (RRF) in a peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient is clinically important because it contributes to dialytic adequacy, quality of life and mortality. We present the case of a patient in PD with a marked decrease in RRF. Even after the increase of dialysis, the patient maintained asthenia and anorexia, was prostrate and showed no ...

Residual Renal Function in Hemodialysis and Inflammation

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2017
AbstractResidual renal function (RRF) has an important effect on uremic toxin clearance, on volume control, on quality of life, and on mortality. In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), microinflammation with an increased percentage of CD14+/CD16++ inflammatory monocytes has been reported, even with no clinical evidence of inflammation.

Effects of residual renal function in haemodialysis patients

International Urology and Nephrology, 1994
Thirty-six haemodialysis patients on treatment for more than six months were studied for residual renal function (RRF). Twenty patients were anuric. The remaining 16 patients with RRF excreted 35-1600 ml urine/day with creatinine clearance ranging 0.17-6.95 ml/min.
