A 53-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and shunt occlusion caused by dehydration. She had undergone hemodialysis due to diabetic nephropathy over a ten-year period. She was hospitalized again with fever and a persistent high serum CRP level. We started
BACKGROUND
Dialysis patients have impaired host defense mechanisms and frequently require antibiotics for various infective complications. In this study, we investigated whether dialysis patients have greater risk for Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).
METHODS
During the 4-year study
A 66-year-old woman on chronic peritoneal dialysis was admitted because of intermittent diarrhea and abdominal pain, and anorexia for 1 month. She had not been given antibiotics nor hospitalized for at least 6 months prior to the onset of symptoms. Clostridium difficile and its toxin were detected

METHODS
In a randomized, active-controlled, multicenter, open-label study at 50 clinical sites in Europe and the United States, hemodialysis patients were
Information on safety and efficacy of systemic treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma under dialysis are limited due to patient exclusion from clinical trials. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the rate, prevalence, tolerability, and outcome of sorafenib in this Chronic renal insufficiency disease (CRI) leads to uremia in hemodialysis patients and induces a state of immunodepression that results in higher frequencies of infections and diarrhea. Hemodialysis patients resident in the city of Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brazil were analyzed from April 2006 through
