The prevalence of End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing rapidly worldwide [1]. Patients with ESRD are dependent on peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis (HD) to get rid of body wastes [2]. The leading cause of death in ESRD patients is cardiovascular disease, which is the most common complication...
Sugar-free chewing gum’s effect on patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis: a meta-analysis of RCTs

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 is an increasing global health concern, affecting 3.4 million individuals worldwide [1]. Kidney transplantation is widely regarded as the preferred treatment option among renal replacement therapies (RRTs); however, its availability is limited [2]. As a consequence,...
The efficacy of different types of intradialytic exercise for patients undergoing hemodialysis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
