Percutaneous perfusion monitoring for the detection of hemodialysis induced cardiovascular injury
Discussion: Percutaneous perfusion monitoring, using pulse wave analysis, appears to be useful in identifying circulatory stress during HD and predicting the development of HD‐induced myocardial stunning with a lead time long enough to consider timely intervention.

Effect of high amylose resistant starch (HAM ‐RS2) supplementation on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients: a randomized clinical trial
Discussion: Administration of HAM‐RS2 for eight weeks significantly reduced levels of inflammatory and oxidative markers in hemodialysis patients confirming the results observed in CKD animals. Long term trials are needed to explore the impact of HAM‐RS2 supplementation on clinical outcomes in end stage renal disease population. (Source: Hemodialysis International)

Basilic vein transposition for unsuitable upper arm hemodialysis needle access segment may attenuate concurrent hand ischemia
Discussion: Basilic vein transposition for an unsuitable upper arm needle access segment may attenuate hand ischemia in patients with a brachial AVF previously reporting hemodialysis access‐induced distal ischemia. (Source: Hemodialysis International)

Why does the choice of dialysate sodium concentration remain controversial?
Abstract
The choice of the ideal dialysate sodium concentration remains controversial. Most dialysis centers have a standard dialysate concentration. In theory, choosing a dialysate sodium concentration lower than serum sodium should result in an additional loss of sodium by diffusion with a reduction in the prevalence of hypertension and interdialytic weight gains (IDWGs) on one hand, but with potential increased risk of intradialytic hypotension and cramps on the other hand, and the opposite effects may accompany the choice of dialysate sodium concentrations greater than serum concentration. Although most studies have re...

Radio ‐cephalic arteriovenous fistula recovered with drainage through the brachial vein
Abstract
Dysfunction of arteriovenous access for hemodialysis is a challenge for the vascular surgeon. Some patients have complex vascular access with problems that are difficult to solve. Careful analysis of the vascular network with ultrasound and dissection of the veins during surgery can help to identify the best option for each access. We introduce and discuss the case of creation of a radio‐cephalic fistula with outflow into the brachial vein in 64‐year‐old hemodialysis male patient. This technique enables extending fistula patency, arterializing the brachial vein, and improves cost efficiency. (Source: Hemodialysis International)

Free dialysis in Nepal: Logistical challenges explored
Abstract
Nepal's Ministry of Health began offering free lifetime hemodialysis (HD) in 2016. There has been a large growth in renal replacement therapy (RRT) services offered in Nepal since 2010, when the last known data on the subject was published. In 2016, 42 HD centers existed (223% increase since 2010) serving 1975 end stage renal disease patients (303% increase since 2010); 36 nephrologists were registered (200% increase since 2010), 12 were trained in transplantation, and 790 transplants had been performed to date. We estimate the incidence of end stage renal disease to be 2900 patients (100 per million population). ...
