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

Valacyclovir-associated acute kidney injury and encephalopathy in an elderly woman with normal kidney function: a case report
AbstractA 72-year-old Japanese woman was treated by 3000 mg/day of valacyclovir for the herpes zoster in her left back. She had been treated as hypertension with no renal insufficiency. In two days, she visited an emergency room of a regional stroke care center with dysarthria, dexterity disorder and gait disturbance. Neither head CT nor MRI found intra cranial lesions, then, laboratory tests revealed that her serum creatinine level was 4.63 mg/dL. She was transferred and admitted to our hospital on the following day and received hemodialysis under the diagnosis of AKI due to acyclovir accompanied with encephalopathy. A...

Association between hyporesponsiveness to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and risk of brain hemorrhage in patients undergoing hemodialysis: the Q-Cohort Study
ConclusionsA higher ERI was associated with an increased risk of brain hemorrhage, but not brain infarction, in patients undergoing maintenance HD. A high ERI is thus an important risk factor for brain hemorrhage in these patients.
