Reprocessing and reuse of dialyzers: A technological solution for balancing cost and quality in lower and middle-income countries
Int J Artif Organs. 2023 Aug 28:3913988231194421. doi: 10.1177/03913988231194421. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHemodialysis is the commonest kidney replacement therapy (KRT) globally and rapidly growing in developing countries, while in developed countries it is reaching a plateau. The penetration of hemodialysis (HD) varies widely among countries and is largely influenced by socioeconomics, healthcare financing, particularly by government, local infrastructure, healthcare workforce, health system characteristics, and affordability of the population.

Extracorporeal albumin dialysis in critically ill patients with liver failure: Comparison of four different devices-A retrospective analysis
CONCLUSIONS: From this clinical perspective ADVOS and OPAL may provide higher reduction capabilities of liver solutes (i.e. bilirubin and ammonia) in comparison to MARS and SPAD. However, further prospective studies comparing the effectiveness of the devices to support liver impairment (i.e. bile acid clearance or albumin binding capacity) as well as markers of renal recovery are warranted.PMID:37609875 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231191952

Iron increases the profibrotic properties of the senescent peritoneal mesothelial cells
CONCLUSION: MC aging results in change of their genotype and phenotype which lead to their profibrotic effect. Exposure to iron enhances these changes.PMID:37564017 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231192123

Mortality, health-related quality of life, and depression symptoms in younger and older men and women undergoing hemodialysis
CONCLUSIONS: In a sample of Brazilian MHD patients, women had a slightly lower mortality, albeit with more depression symptoms and poorer HRQoL than men, particularly among older patients. This study highlights the need to investigate gender inequalities for MHD patients across different cultures and populations.PMID:37424237 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231183724
