Impact of vitamin D3 intake on hemoglobin levels and erythropoietin response in patients on hemodialysis: a randomized single blinded trial
Dialysis 1 min.
Patients on regular hemodialysis (HD) are at the highest risk of developing anemia. Vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent in HD patients. Recent studies have suggested that improving vitamin D status can reduce both anemia and the need for higher recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) dosing. This study...
Effect of a home-based supervised personalised diet on malnutrition and frailty in dialysis patients: a randomised controlled trial
Dialysis 1 min.
Protein-energy wasting and frailty are highly prevalent among maintenance dialysis patients, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where nutrition care is often limited to brief, one-time counselling. We evaluated whether a home-based, supervised, personalised diet with structured follow-up...
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...
