Residual Renal Function in Hemodialysis Patients
, 2011 The role of residual renal function (RRF) in the health and quality of life of both pre-dialysis and dialysis patients is equally important and now well established (Termorshuizen, Korevaar et al, 2003). RRF plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance, phosphorus control, and removal of uremic toxins in dialysis patients. The importance of RRF

Successful Pregnancy in a 31-Year-Old Peritoneal Dialysis Patient with Bilateral Nephrectomy
Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2013 Frequency of pregnancy among childbearing age women with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing long-term periodic dialysis ranges from 1% to 7%. Although pregnancy in dialysis women with ESRD is considered a largely high-risk pregnancy, occurrence of

How to Measure Residual Renal Function in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
, 1994 Many patients with end-stage renal disease who are on maintenance hemodialysis still have significant residual renal function. Exogenous markers such as inulin and radionuclides, and endogenous markers such as creatinine and urea are commonly used to ...

Percentile residual life orders [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper we study a family of stochastic orders of random variables defined via the comparison of their percentile residual life functions. Some interpretations of these stochastic orders are given, and various properties of them are derived. The

Equation Predicts Renal Function after Nephroureterectomy to Treat Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma [PDF]
International Brazilian Journal of UrologyPurpose: A preoperative tool is warranted to predict renal function after radical nephroureterectomy, as this would optimize treatment plans and avoid postoperative end-stage renal disease.

Characterization of bathtub distributions via percentile residual life functions [PDF]
In reliability theory and survival analysis, many set of data are generated by distributions with bathtub shaped hazard rate functions. Launer (1993) established several relations between the behaviour of the hazard rate function and the percentile ...

Significance of residual renal function for phosphate control in chronic hemodialysis patients
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2014 Background: The aim of this study was to compare mineral metabolism between anuric and nonanuric chronic hemodialysis patients, and determine the differences in phosphate control between the two groups.

Protecting the residual renal function: Which drugs of choice? [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 1997 Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of illness and premature death in diabetic patients, largely through accompanying cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal failure. Proteinuria heralds the clinical nephropathy, and the worsening of proteinuria parallels the progression of renal disease towards chronic renal failure.

BMC NephrologyObjective A low-protein diet is essential for the nutritional management of chronic kidney diseases as it can reduce renal burden. However, the effect of low-protein diets on dialysis patients compared to pre-dialysis patients remains unclear. This study
