Incidence and risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in hemodialysis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The most important risk factors for cognitive dysfunction associated with hemodialysis might be female gender, old age, diabetes, and stroke. Close attention should be paid to such patients for early prevention.PMID:37592399 | DOI:10.1111/sdi.13171

Association of intradialytic hypertension with future cardiovascular events and mortality in hemodialysis patients: effects of ambulatory blood pressure
CONCLUSIONS: IDHTN patients had higher risk for mortality and cardiovascular outcomes but this risk is at least partly confounded by the elevated BP levels during the interdialytic period.PMID:37302385 | DOI:10.1159/000531477

Apixaban for stroke prevention in hemodialysis patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia among patients with kidney failure on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and is associated with a high incidence of all-cause mortality and stroke in this population.1

The number of valvular insufficiency is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients
ConclusionsIn maintenance HD patients, the prevalence of VI is prominently high. The number of VI ≥ 2 is associated with emergency hospitalized for acute heart failure, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Combining age, number of VI ≥ 2, and albumin can predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.

Predictors of quality of life in patients within the first year of commencing haemodialysis based on baseline data from the PIVOTAL trial and associations with the study outcomes
CONCLUSION: Quality of life was impaired in patients starting haemodialysis. A higher C-reactive protein level level was a consistent independent predictor of the majority of worse quality of life. Transferrin saturation ≤ 20% was associated with worse physical component score of quality of life. Baseline quality of life was predictive of all-cause mortality and the primary outcome measure.EUDRACT REGISTRATION NUMBER: 2013-002267-25.PMID:36995528 | PMC:PMC10061401 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01571-6

The role of gut-dependent molecule trimethylamine N-oxide as a novel target for the treatment of chronic kidney disease
AbstractTrimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is an intestinal uremic toxin molecule mainly excreted by the kidney. Therefore, the plasma TMAO concentration is significantly increased in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and plasma TMAO can be cleared by dialysis. Furthermore, TMAO damage the kidney mainly through three mechanisms: oxidative stress, inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Clinical experiments have indicated that higher TMAO levels are strongly related to the elevated incidence and mortality of cardiovascular (CV) events in CKD patients. Moreover, experimental data have shown that high levels of TMAO di...

Severe Neurological Involvement in an Adult with Shiga Toxin-Producing < i > Escherichia coli < /i > -Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Treated with Eculizumab
A 68-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension was admitted to the emergency department for diffuse abdominal pain preceded by bloody diarrhea. Upon admission, neurological examination was normal, but he suddenly developed a left-sided hemiparesis. After a normal brain computed tomography, intravenous thrombolysis was administered for a suspicion of ischemic stroke. In the first laboratory investigations, hemoglobin was 16.9 g/dL, platelets 121 × 109/L (150 –450), and serum creatinine 1.17 mg/dL. By the second hospital day, the platelet level dropped to 79 × 109/L, with haptoglobin at 0.12 g/L, 3% schistocyte...
