Solute-solver: a web-based tool for modeling urea kinetics for a broad range of hemodialysis schedules in multiple patients.

30 Oct 2009 Practical application of urea kinetic modeling to measure the delivered dose of hemodialysis is hampered by lack of a reference or gold-standard program that would be widely available and freely distributed. We developed and here describe an ... Read more...

UV-A1 therapy for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare sclerosing skin condition associated with end-stage renal disease and gadolinium exposure. Therapy for NSF is challenging, with few options other than preventing exposure to gadolinium and ... Read more...

Surgical or endovascular repair of thrombosed dialysis vascular access: is there any evidence?

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Endovascular and surgical strategies have been used to manage patients with thrombosed vascular access for hemodialysis. We analyzed the evidence to see whether endovascular or surgical treatment has the best outcome in terms of ... Read more...
