Hemodialysis, Vascular Access, and Peritoneal Dialysis Access
Recent developments have spurred a renewed interest in novel solutions to access the patient circulation, mainly concentrating on vascular access for renal replacement therapies and on peritoneal dialysis access.Starting with the epidemiology, the focus then shifts to the evolution of new techniques and monitoring procedures with regard to hemodialysis, which are discussed and evaluated. Attention is also paid to the new biomaterials available, concentrating on their improved biocompatibility and surface characteristics. As developments in the field of peritoneal dialysis have taken a similar turn, new devices providing access to the peritoneal cavity which have recently been made available ...
Cardiovascular Disorders in Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis therapy has become a well-established form of renal replacement, and due to continuous improvements in technology, a series of new biomaterials and techniques for the clinical routine have been developed. Nevertheless, cardiovascular disorders in hemodialysis and uremia represent one of the most important aspects of modern nephrological care. This publication is therefore dedicated to cardiovascular risk factors, the role of the endothelium, problems related to mineral disorders and finally to the possible impact of new technologies on the final outcome in hemodialysis. Being a state-of-the-art appraisal of today's technology and current issues in hemodialysis with special regard to cardiovascular disorders and risk factors, this book is a synthesis between an educational effort aimed at the newer generations of physicians and nurses in the field of hemodialysis and a state-of-the-art description of the most advanced technologies in this field. At the same time, the lessons learned from large international trials, either already completed or to be completed in the years to come, are presented.
Advances in End-stage Renal Diseases 2005
This latest volume contains discussions of epidemiological data and risk factors for morbid conditions in hemodialysis - stressing the importance of comorbidities in the final outcome of dialysis patients - including contributions on phosphate kinetics, hyperphosphatemia or the effect of daily hemodialysis on monocyte apoptosis. Moreover, special attention is paid to new technologies such as ultrasound elasticity imaging and monitoring of home hemodialysis or vascular access, underlining the fact that technology cannot be a surrogate for good clinical practice and meticulous care of patients. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this publication is a most helpful reference tool for both clinicians and basic investigators involved in hemodialysis.
Advances in End-stage Renal Diseases 2003
A valuable educational tool and reference book As the fourth volume in this series (published annually on the occasion of the International Conference on Dialysis organized by the Renal Research Institute, New York) this book remains faithful to the concept of its predecessors: It covers not only current technological and therapeutic issues in the field of end-stage renal diseases, but also clinical issues related to chronic kidney disease with which nephrologists and caregivers are faced. This latest volume contains, among many others, contributions on the ADEMEX study, peritoneal dialysis, vascular access, inflammation and oxidant stress. Aspects of blood purification not directly related to end-stage renal diseases are also treated, such as affinity hemodialysis for antiviral therapy. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this publication is a most helpful educational tool for young physicians, but also serves as a valuable reference book for experienced clinicians, providing as it does information on the most recent advances in dialysis technology and epidemiology of renal diseases.
Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease 2007
The volumes in this series are, published annually on the occasion of the International Conference on Dialysis organized by the Renal Research Institute, New York, in collaboration with the ISN, ISPD, NKF and RPA. This year's meeting emphasized differences in opinion regarding dialysis guidelines, measurement of dialysis dose and the value of observational research. Besides, this volume includes papers on problems inherent in the management of a dialysis center; diabetes and dialysis; new information on topics such as dialysate composition; the role of body composition in dialysis outcome; problems associated with excess or deficiency of vitamin C; application of nanotechnology, or the role of periodontal disease as a cause of problems in dialysis patients. Last but not least, a molecular approach to infection in chronic kidney disease is presented, using detection of bacterial DNA in patients with sepsis. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this publication is thus a most helpful reference tool for both clinicians and basic investigators involved in hemodialysis.
Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease 2008
The volumes in this series are published annually on the occasion of the International Conference on Dialysis organized by the Renal Research Institute, New York, in collaboration with the ISN, ISPD, NKF and RPA. Among the topics discussed in the current issue are the relationship between the metabolic syndrome, diabetes and kidney disease; implications of the MPO trial with regard to the value of high-flux dialysis; conservative dialytic therapy versus active treatment in elderly patients; the relation of uremic toxins and the clinical state of uremia; the influence of body composition on the outcome of kidney disease and hypertension; new strategies in extracorporeal blood purification in sepsis and sepsis-related acute renal failure; the effect of ESA on hemoglobin concentration and outcomes; and renal implications of the management of decompensated heart failure. Identifying relevant controversial issues as well as areas where progress has recently been made with regard to disease processes or treatment, this publication is a most helpful reference tool for both clinicians and basic investigators involved in hemodialysis.
Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease 2009
The volumes in this series are published annually on the occasion of the International Conference on Dialysis organized by the Renal Research Institute, New York, in cooperation with the ISN, ISPD, NKF and RPA. Among the topics discussed in the current issue are recent developments in dialysis, dialysate and vascular access; vasopressin receptor antagonists in heart failure; the interaction between aldosterone and the extracellular fluid volume in CKD; the management of cardiac disease in the dialysis patient; the cardiorenal syndrome; the use of bioimpedance for volume control in CKD; internal filtration hemodialysis; reduction of hepatitis C viral load by extracorporeal therapy; measurement and significance of bacterial DNA in water and dialysate; temporal evolution of events pre-death in dialysis patients; prenatal causes of kidney disease; current approaches to the critically ill; and lipid metabolism in CKD and its practical implications. Identifying relevant controversial issues as well as areas of recent progress with regard to disease processes or treatment, this publication is a helpful reference tool for both clinicians and basic investigators involved in CKD.
Advances in End-Stage Renal Diseases 2000
This publication constitutes not only a supreme educational tool for young physicians, but it also offers an excellent update on the most recent clinical and technological aspects of hemodialysis in general: Apart from discussing several important issues in modern dialysis, it contains information on epidemiology as well as on current legislative and financial trends. Among the crucial issues highlighted in this timely compilation are the cardiovascular response to fluid removal, dialysis prescription and its modification in relation to decline of residual renal function, the mechanisms of solute and water removal in different dialytic techniques and the possible limitations imposed by the p...
Dialysis
This book describes the past, present and future of dialysis and dialysis-related renal replacement therapies so that the reader can acquire a firm grasp of the medical management of acute and chronic renal failure. By becoming thoroughly conversant with the past and present of dialysis, a health care professional will be in a much better position to provide the best standard of care to patients suffering from renal failure. As the book highlights the unsolved operational obstacles in the field of renal replacement therapies, future innovators may be inspired to develop novel solutions to tackle these problems. This remarkable work is a must-read not just for health care providers in the dialysis industry, but for patients, dialysis equipment manufacturers as well as pharmaceutical companies.
