Peritoneal dialysis can be an option for unplanned chronic dialysis: initial results from a developing country
(2016-06-01)
Aim: Starting dialysis in an unplanned manner is frequent situation in dialysis center even for patients with regular nephrology follow-up. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) appears as an option for unplanned initiation of chronic ...
Handgrip strength is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in maintenance dialysis patients
(2016-12-01)
Background & aims Muscle wasting is associated with mortality in dialysis patients. The measurement of muscle mass has some limitations, while muscle strength assessment is simple, safe and allows the recognition of patients ...
A randomized clinical trial of high volume peritoneal dialysis versus extended daily hemodialysis for acute kidney injury patients
(2013-06-01)
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis in critically ill patients is associated with an in-hospital mortality rate of 50-80 %. Extended daily hemodialysis (EHD) and high volume peritoneal dialysis (HVPD) ...

Influence of protein intake and muscle mass on survival in chronic dialysis patients
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-01-01)
Introduction: Some studies suggest that high body mass index (BMI) confers survival advantage in dialysis patients, but BMI does not differentiate muscle from fat mass, and the survival advantage conferred by its increase ...

Impact of Pre-Dialysis Care on Clinical Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
(2016-04-01)
Background: Structured pre-dialysis care is associated with an increase in peritoneal dialysis (PD) utilization, but not with peritonitis risk, technical and patient survival. This study aimed at analyzing the impact of ...
In-hospital mortality among incident hemodialysis older patients in Peru.
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
BACKGROUND: Understanding the pattern of mortality linked to end stage renal disease (ESRD) is important given the increasing ageing population in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: We analyzed older patients with ...
