OBJECTIVE
The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred hemodialysis access. Subset analyses of both the HEMO and DOPPS studies have shown that obese hemodialysis patients have a lower prevalence of functioning AVF. Doppler ultrasound may increase the prevalence of functioning AVF in obese
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between body composition and dialysis mortality.
METHODS
Adult patients who underwent haemodialysis in Taoyuan General Hospital from 2012 to 2016 were enrolled. We reviewed their baseline characteristics and followed up their treatment over 5 years after
BACKGROUND
The prevalence of childhood overweight is rising worldwide, but in children on renal replacement therapy (RRT) a poor nutritional status is still the primary concern. We aimed to study the prevalence of, and factors associated with, underweight and overweight/obesity in the European
Hypertriglyceridemia is the most prevalent lipid alteration in end-stage renal disease, and we studied the relationship between serum triglycerides and all-cause and cardiovascular death in these patients. Since abdominal fat modifies the effect of lipids on atherosclerosis, we analyzed the
OBJECTIVE
To determine the influence of an elevated body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular outcomes and survival in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
METHODS
Prospective, observational study of a prevalent PD cohort at a single center.
METHODS
Tertiary care institutional dialysis
BACKGROUND
Obesity has been considered a relative contraindication to peritoneal dialysis (PD). Surprisingly, PD catheter dysfunction rates and longevity have not been studied in the growing obese ESRD population. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of patient weight on PD catheter
Better nutritional reserves are proposed as a mechanism for the protective role of obesity in hemodialysis. Little is known about the quality of diet as a major contributor to nutritional status, specifically body mass index and obesity. The aim of this study was to assess dietary OBJECTIVE
Leptin is a hormone and a proinflammatory cytokine secreted from adipocytes, which functions to suppress appetite in healthy persons. Serum leptin levels are significantly elevated in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) primarily due to decreased clearance by the kidneys The
BACKGROUND
Data on obesity as a risk factor for peritonitis and catheter infections among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are limited. Furthermore, little is known about the microbiology of PD-related infections among patients with a high body mass index (BMI).
METHODS
Using a cohort that included
OBJECTIVE
In adults, laparoscopic gastric banding is applied to treat morbid obesity, usually in combination with dietary and psychological intervention and increased physical exercise. However, little information is available on gastric banding in children.
METHODS
The 13 year-old girl suffered
OBJECTIVE
In the general population, the prevalence of overweight is high and is considered a mortality risk factor. In maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients reports regarding overweight and its predictors are scarce. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence and predictors of overweight in MHD
OBJECTIVE
To test whether better nutrition is associated more with adequate urea clearance than with inadequate urea clearance in obese patients on continuous peritoneal dialysis (CPD).
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of clearance and nutrition indices in obese CPD patients. Only obese patients were
To investigate the relationship between obesity, small-solute clearances, and nutrition in continuous peritoneal dialysis (CPD), we compared clearances and nutrition indices between 270 obese and 502 normal-weight CPD patients. Degree of obesity was classified by the ratio of body weight (W) to
OBJECTIVE
Metabolic syndrome (Met S) is one of the risk factors of atherosclerotic vascular diseases related to visceral fat accumulation. However, it is well known that morbidity and mortality of hemodialysis (HD) patients are associated with malnutrition and emaciation rather than obesity,
BACKGROUND
In patients with end-stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis (HD), protein-energy wasting (PEW) is very common and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of nutritional status should be performed regularly in all such patients, using multiple methods. In this
