Cardiovascular diseases represent the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients
with chronic kidney disease (CKD). According to a well-established classification …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ESRD, treated with conventional hemo-or peritoneal
dialysis are both associated with a high prevalence of an increase in left ventricular mass …

BACKGROUND: Fluid overload is the main determinant of hypertension and left ventricular
hypertrophy in hemodialysis patients. However, assessment of fluid overload can be difficult …

Predialysis volume overload is the sum of interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and residual
postdialysis volume overload. It results mostly from failure to achieve an adequate volume …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the dental condition and oral
manifestations in diabetic and nondiabetic uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis …

Gender contributes to differences in incidence and progression of chronic kidney disease
(CKD) and associated cardiovascular disease. To induce kidney damage in male and …

Background and objectives: Fluid overload in hemodialysis patients sometimes requires
emergent dialysis, but the magnitude of this care has not been characterized. This study …

Abstract Background. Dialysate [Na+] is often overlooked as a contributor to hypertension in
patients on haemodialysis (HD). We report observational experience with a facility level …

Aim: To assess the prevalence of oral findings in diabetic and nondiabetic chronic renal
failure (CRF) patients receiving hemodialysis (HD). Materials and methods: This study was …

Background: Lung congestion is emerging as a pervasive, insidious problem in end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis. Summary: Chest ultrasound (US), a novel, easy …
