Influence of fluid volume variations on the calculated value of the left ventricular mass measured by echocardiogram in patients submitted to hemodialysis
(Marcel Dekker Inc, 2003-01-01)
The left ventricular mass (LVM) measurement is of major importance for renal patients, as ventricular hypertrophy is an important prognostic index. The echo-cardiogram of the ventricular mass is larger before than it is ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients on Conventional and Short Daily Hemodialysis
(KARGER, 2009)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common among patients on maintenance hemodialysis. However, the factors associated with the origin of OSA as well as the cardiovascular consequences in this population are not completely ...
Piperacillin/tazobactam-induced neurotoxicity in a hemodialysis patient: a case report
(2015)
Antibiotics are potentially a cause of neurotoxicity in dialysis patients, the most common are thebeta-lactams as ceftazidime and cefepime, and few cases have been reported after piperacillin/tazobactam use. This report ...
Effect of fractional urea clearance on survival of hemodialysis patients in relation to gender
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2008-01-01)
Many studies have demonstrated the relationship between dialysis dose and survival. Global mortality is similar among men and women; however, the influence of dialysis dose in the survival could be more intensive between ...

Total body water and failure to control blood pressure by medication in hemodialysis patients
(2014)
Background: Volume overload is the main factor responsible for the pathogenesis of hypertension in dialysis patients. Few studies have evaluated the interpretation of the parameters obtained by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) ...
Blink reflex in end-stage-renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-04-01)
This study analyses the blink reflex in 20 adult male patients with terminal chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. Abnormalities were found in ten patients (50%), eight of them with conduction studies showing ...

Nutrition: From the physiological bases to hemodialysis patient care
(2012-09-01)
Dialysis can worsen the nutritional status of dialysis patients and malnutrition worsens treatment prognosis. Hence, specific and personal nutritional therapy, with proper food intake, has a decisive role on the positive ...
