Fluid volume and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients is an essential
component of dialysis adequacy. Restoring salt and water homeostasis in hemodialysis …

Hemodialysis has saved many lives, albeit with significant residual mortality. Although poor
outcomes may reflect advanced age and comorbid conditions, hemodialysis per se may …

Results Circulating endotoxemia was most notable in those with the highest CV disease
burden (increasing with CKD stage), and a sharp increase was observed after initiation of …

Hemodynamic stress during hemodialysis (HD) results in recurrent segmental ischemic
injury (myocardial stunning) that drives cumulative cardiac damage. We performed a fully …

It is not clear to what extent changes in blood pressure (BP) during hemodialysis affect or
predict survival. Studying comparative outcomes of BP changes during hemodialysis can …

KDOQI practice guidelines recommend predialysis blood pressure< 140/90 mm Hg;
however, most prior studies had found elevated mortality with low, not high, systolic blood …

Current conventional hemodialysis (HD) is largely an industrialized process, with
inadequate attention to the role that the dialysis treatment itself may play in the development …

Objective To compare mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5 (estimated
glomerular filtration rate< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2), peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis and …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a serious complication of hemodialysis (HD), with an
incidence of more than 20%. IDH induces ischemic organ damage and even reduces the …

Background: A dramatic increase in the “early start” of dialysis with an estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) at least 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 has occurred in the United States since at …
