The highlights of dialysis in 2023
Nephrol Ther. 2024 Apr 11;20(S1):5-15. doi: 10.1684/ndt.2024.66.ABSTRACTThere has been a wealth of new developments in dialysis this year with the publication of several trials relating to dialysis technique, physical activity and the use of new dialysis treatments. Quality of life should be assessed and managed in all dialysis patients. Lowering the temperature of the dialysis bath in the MyTemp trial does not appear to have an effect on mortality and cardiovascular events. High volume convective hemodiafiltration currently represents the reference technique in hemodialysis; the Convince study confirms its superiority in ...

Fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arteries: what do we know in 2024?
Nephrol Ther. 2024 Apr 4;20(2):1-9. doi: 10.1684/ndt.2024.70. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease affecting mostly renal and carotid arteries and is the second most frequent cause of renal artery stenosis. The symptomatology is dominated by arterial hypertension due to the frequent involvement of the renal arteries and depends on the location of the lesions. Most of the cases are middle-aged women of Caucasian origin. There are two subtypes based on angiographic aspect: multifocal FMD (80% of the cases) and focal FMD (rarer with a more b...

Why is health literacy an essential component of health of individuals with chronic kidney disease
Nephrol Ther. 2024 Apr 4;20(2):1-8. doi: 10.1684/ndt.2024.71. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHealth literacy (HL) is the ability of individuals to access, understand and use health information to improve their health. It is a multidimensional and contextual concept, whose definition has been enriched over time. Considered both as a health risk factor and a skill to be developed by individuals, HL also depends on the healthcare system in which patients have to navigate, and on healthcare professionals’ awareness of this concept. In order to promote shared decision-making and thus individual empowerment in the healthcare, H...

Pharmaco-economic evaluation of kidney transplantation at the University Hospital Establishment of  Oran: cost analysis and implications
CONCLUSION: This study estimated the cost of kidney transplantation at the UHEO and revealed that the cost of the first year is the most important due to many factors. It also showed that costs tend to decrease with the age of the transplant and the clinical stability of the recipient.PMID:38567524 | DOI:10.1684/ndt.2024.72 (Source: Nephrologie and Therapeutique)
