More than 2 million people worldwide are being treated for end-stage kidney disease
(ESKD). This Series paper provides an overview of incidence, modality use (in-centre …

In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with haemodialysis or peritoneal
dialysis, hypertension is common and often poorly controlled. Blood pressure (BP) …

Sustained fluid overload (FO) is considered a major cause of hypertension, heart failure, and
mortality in patients with ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis. However, there has not been …

The heart and the vascular tree undergo major structural and functional changes when
kidney function declines and renal replacement therapy is required. The many …

Blood pressure (BP) and volume control are critical components of dialysis care and have
substantial impacts on patient symptoms, quality of life, and cardiovascular complications …

People with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at risk of developing progressive chronic kidney
disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney failure. Hypertension is a major, reversible risk factor …

Studies of hemodialysis patients have shown a U-shaped association between systolic
blood pressure (SBP) and mortality. These studies have largely relied on dialysis-unit SBP …

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 …

Abstract Hypertension (blood pressure> 140/90 mm Hg) is very common in patients
undergoing regular dialysis, with a prevalence of 70-80%, and only the minority has …

The study aims to develop AICare, an interpretable mortality prediction model, using
electronic medical records (EMR) from follow-up visits for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) …
