UNASSIGNED
The effect of acute preload reduction during haemodialysis on left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) function is not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate acute changes in novel echocardiographic and tissue Doppler-derived indices of LV and RV function during the first and a
BACKGROUND
Cognitive impairment is one of the important critical issues in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the associating factors of brain atrophy in HD patients have not been fully elucidated.
OBJECTIVE
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 34 of total 72 HD outpatients in
To explore the correlation between increased brain iron deposition and brain atrophy in patients with haemodialysis and their correlation with clinical biomarkers and neuropsychological test. Forty two patients with haemodialysis and forty one age- and gender-matched healthy controls were recruited
We report a 38-year-old Chinese woman with lupus nephritis on peritoneal dialysis and long-term maintenance steroid therapy. This patient developed paradoxical deterioration during anti-tubercular therapy for tuberculous lymphadenitis. The deterioration resolved spontaneously without change to
We studied the cognitive and communicative deterioration of two patients who were treated by maintenance dialysis and developed a fatal progressive encephalopathy, "dialysis dementia." Detailed language, speech, and psychological evaluations support the contention that this neurologic syndrome is in
BACKGROUND
Physical function in people on hemodialysis deteriorates significantly, however quantification of the rate of deterioration has not been well established. The aim of this study was to examine the rate of deterioration in objective physical function among end-stage kidney disease patients
OBJECTIVE
After arteriovenous fistula creation, the arterial flow increase can lead to aneurysmal degeneration, even increased after fistula ligation or renal transplant immunosuppression. The aim of this study is to describe the therapeutic options and outcomes of true aneurysms of the inflow
We examined 55 patients treated with hemodialysis and found 10 who showed localized chorioretinal degeneration, probably caused by a choroidal vascular disturbance. These changes manifested as a triangular patch, peripapillary or segmental chorioretinal lesions, and localized pigment epithelial
BACKGROUND
It has been found that brain atrophy develops more rapidly in patients with end-stage renal failure after initiation of dialysis therapy. The present study was designed to analyze the relationship between brain atrophy and asymptomatic ischemic brain lesions.
METHODS
Magnetic resonance
Maintenance of the walking ability is very important for smooth continuation of maintenance hemodialysis (HD). The aim of the present study was to clarify the physical activity level in daily living that HD patients should maintain to prevent deterioration of their walking ability. Outpatients
In order to optimize the results of kidney transplant, i.e. patient's acceptance and speedy recovery, the available organ resources must be combined with appropriate "preparation" of the patient's mental state. In order to plot the "mental deterioration curve" of patients on a hemodialysis program,
OBJECTIVE
Brain atrophy is known to develop more rapidly in hemodialysis (HD) patients than other individuals. The present study was designed to examine the role of HD-related hypotension in brain atrophy in patients on chronic HD.
METHODS
By using magnetic resonance imaging, whole brain atrophy was
OBJECTIVE
Gastric mucosa of patients with chronic renal failure on regular hemodialysis is known to retain fundic glands relatively intact, but no evidence for regeneration of fundic glands by hemodialysis has been provided to date. This study was performed to investigate endoscopically and
Thirty nine patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, were submitted to brain computerized tomography in order to investigate the probable existence of brain atrophy. Evaluation was done by measuring the size of brain ventricles by means of a planimeter. An enlargement of the ventricles ranging from
Retinal dialysis is mostly associated with blunt trauma or at times spontaneous. A patient presented to us with fresh rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with no telltale history or signs of trauma. The causative break was retinal dialysis noted on the superonasal periphery. A characteristic
