Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What regulation shall we have for the operation? Shall a man transfuse he knows not what. to correct he knows not what. God knows how (l)? Dr. Henry Stubbs Royal College of Physicians circa 1670 If dialysis therapy were a new phannaceutical product being evaluated by the FDA now, it might not be approved for marketing. The recommended dose, its potential toxicity, the side effects of under-or over-dialysis as well as its efficacy have been the subject of very few studies. The high mortality rate associated with the treatment may raise a few eyebrows. That it is a life-saving modality of treatment is undoubtedly true for more than 100,000 patients in the United States and for more than a million patients world wide. Because dialysis has extended the lives of many people by a variable period of time, most nephrologists have "rested on their laurels" and did not vigorously pursue studies to optimize these treatments. But facts have a way of intruding in all our lives and the facts are that the overall mortality rate of dialysis patients in the United States is rising and stands close to 25% per year and is closer to 33% per year for patients between the ages of 65 and 74 (2). These mortality figures are considerably higher for age-adjusted dialysis populations in Europe and particu larly in Japan, and certainly for the age-adjusted nonnal population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get all the facts and build your expertise on the fast-growing practice of home hemodialysis The use of home hemodialysis is becoming more popular every year. Home dialysis modalities not only provide more flexibility for patients, they are associated with numerous benefits, including improved cardiovascular parameters and better quality of life.

Download or read book Expanded Hemodialysis written by C. Ronco and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite constant significant advances, cardiovascular as well as more general outcomes of hemodialysis treatment remain unsatisfactory. The introduction of innovative 'high retention onset' membranes has led to the development of a new treatment modality called 'expanded hemodialysis' (HDx), which is the focus of this book. This new therapy is likely to benefit end-stage kidney disease patients, thanks to enhanced removal of molecules retained by current dialysis techniques. HDx is simple to set up and application does not require special hardware or specific nursing skills. This book contains emerging evidence and fascinating new hypotheses on HDx. It is highly recommended for all physicians and healthcare professionals who are caring for dialysis patients and are seeking innovation and improved care solutions. It will also be of considerable interest to students and fellows.

Book Synopsis Prescription Patterns in Dialysis Patients U2013 Differences Between Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis and Opportunities for Deprescription by : Judith Marin

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Dialysis patients are at high risk for polypharmacy with many comorbidities and complications from their disease and treatment. The prescribing patterns and burden of polypharmacy in dialysis patients, and specifically the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis prescribing are not well characterized. The objectives of this study were to review prescribing patterns for dialysis patients, to analyse any differences between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), and to identify potential opportunities for deprescription.Methods: We completed a retrospective analysis of demographic and medication data for patients who were on chronic dialysis from June 3rd 2015 to October 1st 2015. Both prescription and non-prescription medications were collected. Medications were classified by indication - (1) renal complications (2) cardiovascular (CV) (3) diabetes (DM) or (4) symptom management. Medications were also classified as a u201cPotentially Inappropriate Medicationsu201d(PIMs) or not. Ethics approval was granted from the University of British Columbia Research and Ethics Board. Results: 3017 patients metinclusion/exclusion criteria (2,243 HD, 774 PD). The mean (SD) age was 66.2 (14.8) years. The HD group had more patients over 80 years old (22.1% vs 12.5%) and more patients with DM and CV disease. The mean number (SD) of prescribed medications was 17.71 (5.72) with more medications in the HD group versus the PD group. The mean number of medications increased with dialysis vintage in both groups. HD patients were on more medications for renal complication and symptom management than PD patients. . Patients on HD were prescribed more PIMs than patients on PD (5.37 (2.83) vs 4.02 (2.37)). Conclusion: This is the first study to review and characterize both the prescription and non-prescription medication use in HD patients and PD patients. Patients in both groups experience polypharmacy and prescription of PIMs. Patients on HD receive more overall medications and more PIMs. There are opportunities for future systematic and patient informed deprescription initiatives in both patient groups.
Book Synopsis Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis by : G.R. Catto
Download or read book Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis written by G.R. Catto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a generation haemodialysis has been the principal method of treating patients with both acute and chronic renal failure. Initially, developments and improvements in the system were highly technical and relevant to only a relatively small number of specialists in nephrology. More recently, as advances in therapy have dem onstrated the value of haemofiltration in the intensive therapy unit and haemoperfusion for certain types of poisoning, the basic principles of haemodialysis have been perceived as important in many areas of clinical practice. In this volume, the potential advantages of bicarbonate haemo dialysis are objectively assessed, the technical and clinical aspects of both haemofiltration and haemoperfusion discussed and the con tinuing problems associated with such extra corporeal circuits analysed. All the chapters have been written by recognized experts in their field. The increasing availability of highly technical facilities for appropriately selected patients should ensure that the information contained in the book is relevant not only to nephrologists but to all practising clinicians. ABOUT THE EDITOR Dr Graeme R. D. Catto is Professor in Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Aberdeen and Honorary Consultant Phy sician/Nephrologist to the Grampian Health Board. His current inter est in transplant immunology was stimulated as a Harkness Fellow at Harvard Medical School and the Peter Bent Brighton Hospital, Boston, USA. He is a member of many medical societies including the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland, the Renal Association and the Transplantation Society.
