Efficacy of L-methylfolate and methylcobalamin in treating resistant hypertension associated with elevated serum homocysteine in hemodialysis patients
Dialysis 5 min.
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a high incidence of concomitant hypertension. The main reason for the variation in the prevalence of hypertension across studies is the fact that different researchers may define hypertension distinctly and utilize different methodologies for measuring...
Association between body composition and its longitudinal changes with the progression of coronary artery calcification in hemodialysis patients
Dialysis 6 min.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major and increasingly serious global public health challenge. As CKD advances to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), patients require renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or kidney transplantation [1]. According to estimates from the...
Elevated cardiometabolic index is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing dialysis: a retrospective cohort study
Dialysis 5 min.
The median global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 10%, with prevalence rates varying across regions owing to economic disparities and differences in screening methodologies [1]. Without effective control, CKD may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), ultimately necessitating dialysis....
C-reactive protein to albumin ratio predicts future volume overload in peritoneal dialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study
Dialysis 1 min.
To evaluate the predictive value of the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) for 6-month volume overload in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Retrospective cohort study of 167 stable PD patients without baseline volume overload. CAR was measured at enrollment; volume status was reassessed via bioelectrical...
The effects of Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living practice on stress, self-efficacy, and quality of life of haemodialysis patients: a randomized controlled trial
Dialysis 1 min.
This single-blind, randomized controlled experimental study evaluated the effects of Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living (MBCL) practice on stress, self-efficacy, and quality of life of patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) in an outpatient clinic in Türkiye. A total of 67 HD patients were allocated...
