Sustainable and accessible hemodialysis: life cycle assessment on central acid delivery system
Dialysis 5 min.
The healthcare sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for more than 4% of total emissions and up to 10% in some high-income countries [1, 2]. In the Netherlands, pharmaceuticals and chemical products are the leading sources of healthcare-related environmental impacts,...
Long-term outcomes and influencing factors of lower extremity arteriovenous grafts in hemodialysis patients: a single-center retrospective study
Dialysis 5 min.
The increasing age, prolonged dialysis duration, and increasing comorbidity burden among maintenance hemodialysis populations—particularly those returning to dialysis after kidney graft failure—have significantly exacerbated the challenges of establishing reliable vascular access [1]. Clinicians...
Association of incident dialysis modality with patient survival: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Dialysis 6 min.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive and irreversible condition that ultimately leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Renal replacement therapy (RRT), in the form of chronic dialysis or kidney transplantation, is essential for sustaining life in individuals with ESRD. However, due to the...
Prevalence, recurrence, risk factors and adverse clinical outcomes of hyperkalemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients
Dialysis 6 min.
Hyperkalemia, generally defined as a serum potassium (K) concentration of > 5.0 mmol/L, is a common electrolyte disturbance in chronic kidney disease (CKD) [1], particularly in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis [2]. The development of HK in MHD...
Effectiveness of vaccination in patients undergoing dialysis or patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review protocol
Dialysis 2 min.
Observational studies that have directly assessed the effectiveness of vaccination among patients undergoing dialysis or those with chronic kidney disease shall be included. Both published and unpublished studies in either in English or French will be included....
