Patients undergoing dialysis experience substantial decreases in muscle mass and functional muscle weakness. Muscle mass loss in patients undergoing hemodialysis is an independent predictor of survival, so mus...
The state of vascular access affects the efficiency of hemodialysis. Poor blood flow of vascular access causes recirculation, which reduces treatment efficiency. In the clinical setting, the resistance index (...
In the Japanese guidelines on combination peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) therapy, patients with serum beta 2 microglobulin (β2MG) levels less than 30 mg/L are recommended. And PD patients with ...

In end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), patients experience disabilities stemming from organ failure. These can be worsened by symptoms and complications of underlying cause(s), and the conditions associate...
All-cause mortality is lower with a high substitution volume in predilution (pre) and postdilution (post) online hemodiafiltration (OHDF) than with hemodialysis (HD), and mortality does not significantly diffe...
We compared amino acid leakage among high-volume pre-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration (Pre O-HDF), hemodialysis (HD), and post-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration (Post O-HDF).
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) usually presents with fever, generalized flushing, and multiple sterile pustules on the skin, which histopathologically form subcorneal pustules characterized by Kogoj spon...
The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy published a proposal in 2014 and revised it to Shared Decision Making for the Initiation and Continuation of Dialysis: A Proposal from the Japanese Society for Dialysi...
In the early days of peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy, its limited duration and peritoneal deterioration were argued to be its disadvantages. Biocompatible solutions and hybrid therapy have been used in Japan ...
We experienced a nosocomial outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from November 2020 to February 2021, during the third wave of the pandemic in Japan.
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced mortality caused by AIDS resulting from HIV infection. Meanwhile, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease, a chronic HIV complication, is increasing. Antiretroviral th...
In patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the use of acrylonitrile hemofilters can reduce cytokine concentrations. However, acrylonitrile hemofilters can easily coagulate, and the effect of hemof...
A fluid commonly used for dialysis in Japan is prepared from two dialysate concentrates and dialysis water. Silicon (Si) from tap water is reported in dialysis water as suspended insoluble particulate matters....
The number of dialysis patients with diabetes is currently increasing in Japan and a similar proportion worldwide. It was suggested that approximately 20% of these patients had hypoglycemia after dialysis sess...
The rise in end stage kidney disease (ESKD) prevalence globally calls for a need to deliver quality and cost-effective dialysis. While most are familiar with centre-based haemodialysis (HD), there is a move to...
Standard amino acid solutions have recently been removed from the contraindications for use in dialysis patients in Japan. However, the details of their safety and efficacy in these patients are still not know...
Patient activation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly being prioritized and considered a quality metric in CKD. Given the importance of patients’ activation in improving the quality of chronic dis...
Dialysis patients are predisposed to severe disease and have a high mortality rate in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to their comorbidities and immunocompromised conditions. Therefore, dialysis patien...
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the recommended renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Complementary hemodialysis (HD) once per week for PD patients can aid in achieving adequate dia...
Clotting within the membrane and/or venous ‘air trap’ chamber is common problems during continuous blood purification therapy. Frequent clotting during continuous blood purification therapy leads to inadequate...
Accurately identifying the factors contributing to decline in activities of daily living (ADL) is important for preventing such decline in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). We studied the prevalence and n...
Person-centered care (PCC) is considered an important component of high-quality care in hemodialysis units. Hemodialysis patients and nurses may have different perceptions of person-centeredness in hemodialysi...
