Glomeruli count and arterial injury in real-time ultrasound-guided needle kidney biopsy specimens: Adequacy of three approaches for pig kidneys
CONCLUSIONS: Considering its efficacy and safety profile, the Vertical approach may be preferred, as more glomeruli can be obtained without increasing the incidence of arterial injury. Although the results cannot be directly extrapolated to humans due to the differences between species, they still offer important insights into the characteristics of each approach.PMID:37579726 | DOI:10.1159/000533593 (Source: American Journal of Nephrology)

High osmol gap hyponatremia caused by icodextrin: A case series report
Am J Nephrol. 2023 Aug 14. doi: 10.1159/000533600. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecently hyperosmolar hyponatremia following excessive off-label use of two exchanges of 2L icodextrin daily during peritoneal dialysis (PD) was reported. We encountered a cluster of three cases of PD patients who developed hyperosmolar hyponatremia during on-label use of icodextrin. This appeared to be due to absorption of icodextrin, since, after stopping icodextrin, the serum sodium level and osmol gap returned to normal, while a rechallenge again resulted in hyperosmolar hyponatremia. We excluded higher than usual concentrations of specifi...

Effects of different exercises on physical function, dialysis adequacy, and health-related quality of life in maintenance hemodialysis patients: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This study concluded that intradialytic combined aerobic and resistance exercise is optimal for MHD patients due to its significant positive effects on multiple outcomes. Walking capacity can be further enhanced by combining blood flow restriction with exercise. For improving dialysis adequacy, intradialytic exercise proves to be more effective than non-intradialytic exercise. Further well-designed clinical trials are needed to investigate the effects of exercise with varying durations, intensities, and frequencies.PMID:37536298 | DOI:10.1159/000532109 (Source: American Journal of Nephrology)
