Direct Transition from Hospital to Home Dialysis: Revolutionizing Home Dialysis Training
This article delves into the concept of directly transitioning incident patients from hospital admission to HHD, bypassing traditional in-center dialysis training. This forward-thinking approach aims to empower patients, enhance their treatment experience, maximize efficiency, and streamline health care operations. A large hospital organization in the Northeast was able to successfully transition three patients from hospital "crash" starts on hemodialysis directly to HHD.PMID:38727590 (Source: Nephrology Nursing Journal)

Economic Burden of Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease and Their Caregivers: A Scoping Review
Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2023 Nov 1;34(6):642-654. doi: 10.4103/sjkdt.sjkdt_81_22. Epub 2024 May 9.ABSTRACTHemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatments impact the economic burden and psychological distress faced by end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients and their caregivers. This review aimed to discuss the concept of an economic burden and the economic burden of different treatment options, and to highlight research gaps regarding the scarcity of previous studies relating economic burden to psychological well-being. We searched five electronic databases for papers published in 2010-2020. Papers focusing ...

Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Efficacy of Sofosbuvir-Velpatasvir and Sofosbuvir-Daclatasvir Treatment Regimens in End-stage Renal Disease Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
This study evaluated the prevalence of HCV infection in patients with ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and studied the effectiveness of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir and sofosbuvir-daclatasvir regimens in these patients. This study included patients with ESRD on MHD between January 2019 and December 2021 who were screened for HCV serology status. HCV-positive patients received sofosbuvir-velpatasvir or sofosbuvir-daclatasvir. Efficacy was assessed by the sustained virological response (SVR), and safety assessments included monitoring adverse events and laboratory parameters. Out of 1330 patients, 188 patients (14.1%) were p...

Safety and Efficacy of Acute Central Venous Catheters for Hemodialysis with Sodium Bicarbonate versus an Antibiotic Catheter Locking Solution
This study was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of acute central venous catheters (CVC) using a sodium bicarbonate catheter locking solution (SBCLS) versus an antibiotic catheter locking solution (ACLS). Our study included patients aged >18 years on hemodialysis initiated through an internal jugular non-tunneled CVC. Safety was assessed by comparing catheter loss resulting from catheter dysfunction (CD) and catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) in two study groups: the SBCLS group (using 7.5% sodium bicarbonate) and the ACLS group (using antibiotic + heparin). Efficacy was assessed by the adequa...

Assessment of the Knowledge of Phosphorus and Potassium in Hemodialysis Patients
Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2023 Nov 1;34(6):495-506. doi: 10.4103/sjkdt.sjkdt_482_20. Epub 2024 May 9.ABSTRACTWe aimed to determine the knowledge of potassium and phosphorus in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and to associate it with serum levels and other clinical variables. This cross-sectional study included 73 patients of both sexes, who were over 18 years old and had undergone HD for at least 3 months at Hospital Geral de Caxias do Sul, Caxias do Sul, Brazil, between January and April 2019. Knowledge of phosphorus and potassium was measured by a questionnaire composed of 16 multiple choice questions (two genera...

Predicting factors for early failure of vascular access in hemodialysis patients
CONCLUSION: Venous diameter measured 6 weeks following AVF operation and preoperative venous diameter in AVG were highly predictive of early failure among the duplex ultrasound parameters. Surveillance strategies in the early phase following vascular access creation can be based on these factors.PMID:38725806 | PMC:PMC11076948 | DOI:10.4174/astr.2024.106.5.255 (Source: Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research)
