Comparison between Automated Erythrocytopharesis (AECP) and Manual Exchange Transfusion (M-Ex)) in Reducing Hb-S and in Recovery of Acute Chest Syndrome and Other Acute Presentations of Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Conclusions:Erythrocytopharesis (Automated RBC exchange) is effective, quick and safe procedure that is life saving for many patients with ACS and is associated with less difficulties and complications if compared with the manual exchange. Because SCA is a national problem in Saudi Arabia and acute chest syndrome and other acute major complications comprehensively kill SCD patients, Automated Erythocytopharesis should be available nation-wide like dialysis machines at all large hospitals in all cities and should be distributed according to the prevalence of SCA in the area or location.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Clinical Outcomes of Prolonged Antiplatelet Therapy after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Prolonged DAPT might decrease the risk of mortality, MACE, and stroke in patients with CKD without any significant difference in bleeding or revascularization. Additional studies are required to determine whether long-term DAPT could be considered for most CKD patients after PCI.Blood Purif

Cardiovascular mortality due to pulmonary embolism in subjects with renal impairment: patients’ comorbidities are crucial
Abstract we read with great interest the paper by Ocak et al. (1). The authors found that the age‐ and sex‐standardized mortality rate (SMR) for pulmonary embolism (PE) was 12.2 (95% CI 10.2‐14.6) times higher in dialysis patients than in the general population. Such SMR was even higher than that of myocardial infarction (MI) (11.0, 95% CI 10.6‐11.4), stroke (8.4 (95% CI 8.0‐8.8), and other cardiovascular disease (8.3, 95% CI 8.0‐8.5) On the one hand, the association between the different grade of impaired renal function and MI received important confirmation (2), and also a recent study from our group conducte...

Blood Pressure Recordings During Hemodialysis Access Interventions: Implications for Acute Management
Abstract A retrospective study evaluating the pattern of blood pressure and its related complications before, during, and after percutaneous hemodialysis interventions was performed in patients presenting with asymptomatic hypertension. Hemodialysis patients undergoing percutaneous interventions including tunneled hemodialysis catheter insertion, percutaneous balloon angioplasty and thrombectomy procedure, and stage II hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg) were included in this analysis. Blood pressure medications were not used while midazolam and fentanyl were routinely administered. Patients were followed f...

Seek and You Shall Find—But Then What Do You Do? Cold Agglutinins in Cardiopulmonary Bypass and a Single-Center Experience With Cold Agglutinin Screening Before Cardiac Surgery
Abstract: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery can involve deliberate hypothermia of the systemic (22-36°C) and coronary circulations (as low as 8-12°C). Adverse sequelae of cold-active antibodies have been feared and reported under such conditions, and some centers thus elect to screen for cold agglutinins before CPB. We reviewed the literature on cold agglutinins in cardiac surgery and described the yields and effects of cold agglutinin screening (CAS) in 14900 cardiac surgery patients undergoing CPB over 8 years at a single institution. Cold agglutinin screening was positive in 47 cases (0.3%), at an an...

Correlates of ADL difficulty in a large hemodialysis cohort
Abstract Needing assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) is an early indicator of functional decline and has important implications for individuals' quality of life. However, correlates of need for ADL assistance have received limited attention among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD). A multicenter cohort of 742 prevalent HD patients was assessed in 2009–2011 and classified as frail, prefrail and nonfrail by the Fried frailty index (recent unintentional weight loss, reported exhaustion, low grip strength, slow walk speed, low physical activity). Patients reported need for assistance with 4 ADL ta...

Prospective clinical trial on dosage optimizing of tranexamic acid in non-emergency cardiac surgery procedures.
CONCLUSION: Use of 1 g TxA is safe and sufficient for elective patients with on pump cardiac surgery and thus has been established as strategy of choice in our center. PMID: 24113504 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Vitamin K Antagonists: Beyond Bleeding
Abstract Warfarin is the most widely used oral anticoagulant in clinical use today. Indications range from prosthetic valve replacement to recurrent thromboembolic events due to antiphospholipid syndrome. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, warfarin use is even more frequent than in the nonrenal population due to increased cardiovascular comorbidities. The use of warfarin in dialysis patients with atrial fibrillation requires particular caution because side effects may outweigh the assumed benefit of reduced stroke rates. Besides increased bleeding risk, coumarins exert side effects which are not in the focus of clinical routin...

Practical Approach to Evaluate Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease in End‐Stage Renal Disease Patients at the Initiation of Dialysis
Abstract The high prevalence of significant asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) has been reported in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) at the initiation of dialysis. However, the approach to evaluate asymptomatic CAD for these patients has not been established. The aim of this study is to assess the applicability of our practical approach at the initiation of dialysis. We prospectively enrolled 182 consecutive ESRD patients who initiated dialysis. After echocardiography as primary screening, pharmacologic stress thallium‐201 scintigraphy and/or coronary angiography (CAG) were performed to diagnose CAD...

Clearance of myoglobin by high cutoff continuous veno‐venous hemodialysis in a patient with rhabdomyolysis: A case report
Abstract Continuous veno‐venous hemodialysis using high cutoff filters (HCO‐CVVHD) is a promising technique, which may be effective to decrease the extremely high level of circulating myoglobin in patients with rhabdomyolysis (RM). Here, we report a patient with RM caused by heat stroke who was successfully treated by HCO‐CVVHD. A male patient received HCO‐CVVHD with 4 L/h dialysate for 5 days and then pre‐dilution continuous veno‐venous hemofiltration (CVVH) at a dose of 4 L/h until recovery of renal function. The clearance of myoglobin and albumin at 5 minutes, and at 4, 12, and 24 hours were calculated. ...

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and thrombotic events in dialysis patients
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) have been associated with a higher cardiovascular event and mortality rate in dialysis patients. The ESA-associated risk of arterial thrombotic events is mainly based on composite endpoints of anemia-correction trials targeting high hemoglobin levels. The ESA-associated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been studied in dialysis patients yet. We therefore aimed to determine the association between ESA use and dose with ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) and VTE.

Piperacillin/tazobactam‐induced neurotoxicity in a hemodialysis patient: A case report
This report presents a case of a hypertensive and diabetic 67‐year‐old woman in regular hemodialysis, which previously had a stroke. She was hospitalized presenting pneumonia, which was initially treated with cefepime. Two days after treatment, she presented dysarthria, left hemiparesis, ataxia, and IX and X cranial nerves paresis. Computed tomography showed no acute lesions and cefepime neurotoxicity was hypothesized, and the antibiotic was replaced by piperacillin/tazobactam. The neurologic signs disappeared; however, 4 days after with piperacillin/tazobactam treatment, the neurological manifestations returned. A new...
