The impact of end-stage renal disease on the patient’s psychological status necessitates the value of increasing depression awareness. The current study aimed to assess the depression prevalence among Palestin...
Physical activity is an essential parameter associated with the prognosis of hemodialysis patients. Physical activity has regional characteristics; for example, snow removal is imperative in snowbelts during t...
Online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), whether in pre-dilution OL-HDF (pre-HDF) or post-dilution OL-HDF (post-HDF), is conducted to efficiently remove low molecular weight proteins from the blood of patients requi...
To manage the anemic status in hemodialysis (HD) patients, a well-balanced combination therapy based on the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and iron supplementation is essential. Serum ferritin...
Natural killer (NK) cells are known to play an important role in defense against infection and tumors. Although there is no clear consensus, most studies have shown that the number and cytotoxicity of NK cells...
In continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), administration of anticoagulants is necessary for achieving a certain level of filter lifetime. Generally, anticoagulant doses are controlled to keep activated p...
Ceftriaxone, a third-generation cephalosporin, is widely used to treat bacterial infections in patients undergoing dialysis because it has a long half-life and broad spectrum of action and does not require dos...
Dialysis patients have to take many oral drugs, causing a high pill burden. Phosphate binders (PBs) account for a large proportion of daily pill burden; however, the relationship between patient background and...
Quality of life for haemodialysis (HD) patients may be affected by symptoms during dialysis treatments, and patient groups have highlighted the need to improve post-dialysis fatigue and dialysis-related sympto...
Renal anemia is the important complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and heart failure (HF) is the important complication in patients on dialysis. Decreasing endogenous erythropoietin (E...
Creating permanent vascular access (VA) is recommended before hemodialysis initiation in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although many patients are still introduced to hemodialysis with temporary...
Clinical studies of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease were limited because of the low incidence. We aimed to report the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with anti-GBM disease...
