Hepatitis C virus infection increases risk of peripheral arterial disease in end‐stage renal disease patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis therapy
Dialysis 4 min.
Individuals who suffer from end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) and undergo long‐term hemodialysis face a higher likelihood of developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in comparison to the overall population. The brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) serves as the measure of arterial...
Pathogenic microorganism DNA high-throughput genetic sequencing to diagnose peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Dialysis 3 min.
Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAD) is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is a major cause of treatment failure in PD patients. Pathogens can be isolated from dialysis effluent in more than 90% of patients with signs and symptoms of peritonitis and increased dialysate...
Inner strength, coping self‐efficacy and coping strategy of patients with peritoneal dialysis: A exploratory cross‐sectional study
Dialysis 6 min.
As a convenient, economical treatment modality of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), peritoneal dialysis has been widely accepted by patients (Chen & Zhou, 2013), which can also maintain the residual renal function. As is acknowledged, about 11% patients with ESRD are receiving peritoneal...
Cerebral white matter injury in hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional tract-based spatial statistics and fixel-based analysis
Dialysis 1 min.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with maintenance hemodialysis (HD) are often accompanied by damage to brain white matter (WM) and cognitive impairment. However, whether this damage is caused by maintenance HD or renal dysfunction is unclear. To investigate the natural progression of WM damage...
