Uremic toxins and peritoneal dialysis

Kidney International, 2001
Uremic toxicity is related in part to the accumulation of toxic substances, the nature of which has only partly been characterized. Because of the use of a highly permeable membrane and better preservation of the residual renal function, it could be anticipated that some of these uremic toxins are more efficiently cleared across the peritoneal membrane,

Small Bowel Lesions and Bleeding Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: A Narrative Review

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is very common among hemodialysis patients. This high bleeding risk is caused by uremic platelet dysfunction, vascular fragility, intradialytic hemodynamic instability, and widespread antithrombotic therapy.

Tenapanor Beyond Phosphate: Gut Sodium Transport, Stool Transit Time, and Volume Balance in Dialysis Patients

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tenapanor, a minimally absorbed intestinal NHE3 inhibitor approved for hyperphosphatemia in dialysis, lowers phosphate and reduces intestinal sodium absorption. Its sodium–water signal may have implications beyond phosphate but remains poorly separated from diarrhea‐mediated losses and dialysis prescription artifacts. Methods This

Mental Health Disorders in End‐Stage Kidney Disease: A Narrative Review of Clinical Considerations for Integrated Management

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction End stage kidney disease (ESKD) is associated with a high prevalence of depression and anxiety, arising from both biological factors and the psychosocial burden of chronic dialysis care. Approximately 25%–30% of dialysis patients experience clinically significant depressive symptoms when assessed by structured clinical interview ...

Montelukast Versus Gabapentin for Uremic Pruritus in Twice‐Weekly Hemodialysis Patients: A 52‐Week Prospective Non‐Randomized Open‐Label Comparative Study

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Uremic pruritus (UP) remains a common and distressing complication in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis. The burden is particularly pronounced in low‐ and middle‐income countries where twice‐weekly hemodialysis is frequently practiced because of resource limitations. Gabapentin is widely

Prognostic Value of PALBI in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Concurrent Chronic Kidney Disease: A Nomogram Development

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as chronic kidney disease (CKD) are high‐risk individuals, making it challenging to accurately predict their survival. We found that the PALBI grade model when combined with other patient's clinical and tumor‐related factors, forms a new and highly accurate prediction tool to estimate their ...

Impact of Heat Block Drying on Morphologic Preservation and Staining of Peripheral Blood Smears

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear is critical for diagnosis and ruling out certain hematologic disorders. While air‐drying is standard, some laboratories may use heat blocks to expedite drying. Excessive heat may induce morphologic artifacts, but there is a lack of systematic literature on this practice ...

Waist‐to‐height ratio and renal dysfunction as independent correlates of low handgrip strength in patients with type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In 1,468 patients with type 2 diabetes, central obesity (WHtR >0.5) neutralizes the protective effects of higher BMI on muscle strength. Concurrently, visceral adiposity and CKD impose an additive threat, maximizing low handgrip strength risk (aOR = 1.74). Combining WHtR and renal tracking optimizes clinical sarcopenia screening.

Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis—Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis are linked via the two‐hit model whereby early periodontal inflammation can lead to autoantibody production capable of interacting with inflamed synovial tissues. Subsequent systemic inflammation can exacerbate the periodontal inflammatory response and bacterial dysbiosis leading to further autoantibody production

Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and early implant failure and osseointegration

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This systematic review investigated the relationship between pre‐operative vitamin D levels and implant osseointegration and implant‐related outcomes. It also assessed studies involving vitamin D supplementation before implant placement.
