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 …

Georgianos et al Intradialytic Hypertension 457 this study, persistent (ie, consistent over
time) intradialytic hypertension was observed only in 8% of participants. 11 The …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Background. Higher dialysate calcium (DCa) can result in an acute and transient
increase in arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of DCa on …
