The term intradialytic hypertension (IDH) describes a paradoxical rise in blood pressure (BP)
during or immediately after the hemodialysis session. Although it was formerly considered a …

Background The optimal intensity of continuous renal-replacement therapy remains unclear.
We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to compare the effect of this therapy, delivered …

OBJECTIVE: Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) are at increased risk of
cardiovascular mortality. We investigated whether aortic stiffness, an early marker of …

Background: Maintenance hemodialysis is typically scheduled thrice weekly due to simple
logistic reasons; thus, the vast majority of hemodialysis patients receive renal replacement …

Summary Objective Although an International Workshop has suggested that cardiovascular
assessment in asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients is not necessary …

The increased cardiovascular risk of chronic kidney disease may in part be the
consequence of arterial stiffness, a typical feature of kidney failure. Deranged homeostasis …

Objectives Aortic stiffness is a novel cardiovascular risk factor in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). The purpose of the present study is to examine whether there is a blood …

Mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains unacceptably high.
