Brain natriuretic peptide and all-cause mortality in patients treated with haemodialysis
Dialysis 5 min.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) mortality, 10 to 20 times greater risk than the general population [1, 2]. One key contributor to this elevated risk is overhydration (OH), a common condition in patients with kidney failure treated...

Self-management interventions for adult haemodialysis patients: a scoping review of randomized controlled trials
Dialysis 6 min.
Approximately eight million people, 0.1% of the world’s population, are estimated to have kidney failure [1, 2]. Kidney failure, formerly named end-stage kidney disease, means that kidney function has declined so severely that renal replacement therapy is necessary to sustain life [1, 3]. Based...
Shared decision making and dialysis choice: an observational longitudinal cohort study
Dialysis 6 min.
Shared decision making (SDM) plays a central role in managing kidney failure (KF) in many nephrology centres [1]. The progressive nature of KF underscores the need for continuous collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals, allowing personalized treatment choices as kidney function declines...
