Dose-Finding Study of Rivaroxaban in Hemodialysis Patients
Conclusions A 10-mg dose of rivaroxaban in hemodialysis patients without residual kidney function results in drug exposure similar as published for 20mg in healthy volunteers. Rivaroxaban is not eliminated by dialysis. There is no accumulation after multiple daily dosing. The efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in hemodialysis patients should be the subject of a large randomized trial.

New aspects of cerebrovascular diseases in dialysis patients.
Authors: Naganuma T, Takemoto Y Abstract Growing evidence suggests that chronic kidney disease is a significant risk factor for stroke, subclinical cerebrovascular abnormalities, and cognitive impairment, independent of known cardiovascular risk factors. Cerebrovascular disease is also a major cause of death in dialysis patients, who have a much higher incidence of stroke compared to the normal population. Strokes in dialysis patients are also characterized by a higher incidence of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage compared with those in the general population. Recent studies on dialysis cohorts have shown that...

Risk-based individualisation of target haemoglobin in haemodialysis patients with renal anaemia in the post-TREAT era: theoretical attitudes versus actual practice patterns (MONITOR-CKD5 study)
Conclusions Physicians’ theoretical attitudes to anaemia management in patients on haemodialysis appear to have been influenced by the results of the TREAT study, which involved patients not on dialysis. Physicians claim to use risk-based target Hb levels to guide renal anaemia care. However, there is discrepancy between these declared risk-based target Hb levels and actual target Hb levels for patients with variable risk factors.

Warfarin use, mortality, bleeding and stroke in haemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation
This interesting study of hemodialysis patients on oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation showed that although their overall mortality was high – it was not associated with warfarin.  In fact, warfarin was associated with better survival and antiplatelet agents increased overall mortality. . : The intersection of risk and benefit: is warfarin anticoagulation suitable for atrial fibrillation in patients on hemodialysis?

HDL Cholesterol, Apolipoproteins, and Cardiovascular Risk in Hemodialysis Patients
High concentrations of HDL cholesterol are considered to indicate efficient reverse cholesterol transport and to protect from atherosclerosis. However, HDL has been suggested to be dysfunctional in ESRD. Hence, our main objective was to investigate the effect of HDL cholesterol on outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis patients with diabetes. Moreover, we investigated the associations between the major protein components of HDL (apoA1, apoA2, and apoC3) and end points. We performed an exploratory, post hoc analysis with 1255 participants (677 men and 578 women) of the German Diabetes Dialysis study. The mean age was 66.3 yea...

Effects of Sleepiness on Survival in Japanese Hemodialysis Patients: J-DOPPS Study
Sleep disorder and poor sleep quality are common in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. They have been claimed as a cause of morbidity and mortality. The relationship between the degree of sleepiness and survival has not been studied. We studied the degree of sleepiness in 1,252 adult HD patients (age ≥20 years) recruited into the Dialysis Outcomes Practice Pattern Study in Japan (J-DOPPS III), using the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (JESS) questionnaire. Demographic data were presented for three subgroups: low, intermediate, and high JESS score. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performe...
