Simplified management of hemodialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The mortality and morbidity rates are high after cardiac surgery in hemodialysis (HD)-dependent patients. To improve their outcomes, optimal perioperative managements should be discussed. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 245 HD ... Read more...

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...

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis--a rapidly progressive disabling disease with limited therapeutic options.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) affects some patients on dialysis after gadolinium contrast agent-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. It is characterized by progressive skin fibrosis of the extremities, sometimes including the trunk ... Read more...
