Late-onset Pompe's disease in a hemodialysis patient: A first case report
(2018)A 37-year-old hemodialysis patient appeared with unusual somnolence during 2 successive hemodialysis sessions. Blood gas analysis revealed hypercapnic respiratory failure and spirometry restrictive lung disease. After ... -
Long-term intradialytic hybrid exercise training on fatigue symptoms in patients receiving hemodialysis therapy
(2021)Purpose: Hemodialysis (HD) patients suffer from generalized weakness, exercise intolerance and muscle atrophy, all leading to generalized fatigue and lack of energy. HD patients spend at least 50% of their time in a ... -
Oxidative stress in hemodialysis: Causative mechanisms, clinical implications, and possible therapeutic interventions
(2019)Oxidative stress (OS) is the result of prooxidant molecules overwhelming the antioxidant defense mechanisms. Hemodialysis (HD) constitutes a state of elevated inflammation and OS, due to loss of antioxidants during dialysis ... -
Pathogenesis and management of intradialytic hypertension
(2014)Hypertension is common in chronic kidney disease patients especially in those undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Usually, blood pressure falls after the HD session but in some patients a paradoxical increase has been observed ... -
Patient Knowledge, Adherence to the Therapeutic Regimen, and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis: Knowledge, Adherence, and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis
(2021)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of patients’ knowledge on adherence to the hemodialysis regimen and Quality of Life (QoL) of patients undergoing hemodialysis as well as the effect of adherence on QoL. ... -
Percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery in dialysis-dependent patients: A pooled meta-analysis of reconstructed time-to-event data
(2022)Objective: Το perform a systematic review with meta-analysis of published data comparing outcomes between a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in dialysis-dependent patients. ... -
Phosphorus nutritional knowledge among dialysis health care providers and patients: A multicenter observational study
(2019)Background-aims: Phosphorus nutritional knowledge level of hemodialysis patients and renal nurses has been found to be low, while respective knowledge of nephrologists has not been studied yet. There are equivocal results ... -
Polysomnographic evidence of sleep apnoea disorders in lean and overweight haemodialysis patients
(2007)Background - Sleep apnoea disorders affect a large proportion of patients with renal failure. However, it is unknown whether body composition and visceral adiposity predispose haernodialysis patients to sleep apnoea ... -
Quality of Life of Hemodialysis Patients in Greece: Associations with Socio-Economic, Anthropometric and Nutritional Factors
(2022)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious public health problem that, in recent decades, has taken on significant dimensions with serious effects on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. The purpose of this cross-sectional ... -

Sarcopenia diagnosis in patients receiving hemodialysis: Agreement among different consensuses
(2022)Background: There are many consensuses to diagnose sarcopenia, and their agreement in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) is not clear. We described the sarcopenia prevalence in patients receiving HD using different ... -

Separate and combined effects of cold dialysis and intradialytic exercise on the thermoregulatory responses of hemodialysis patients: a randomized-cross-over study
(2020)Background: The separate and combined effects of intradialytic exercise training (IET) and cold dialysis (CD) on patient thermoregulation remain unknown. This study assessed the thermoregulatory responses of hemodialysis ... -
Seven months of aerobic intradialytic exercise training can prevent muscle loss in haemodialysis patients: an ultrasonography study
(2022)Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 7-month intradialytic exercise training (IDE) on vastus lateralis (VL) muscle architecture, functional capacity and quality of life in stable haemodialysis (HD) patients. ... -
A single bout of hybrid intradialytic exercise did not affect left-ventricular function in exercise-naïve dialysis patients: a randomized, cross-over trial
(2022)Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, especially those receiving hemodialysis (HD) therapy. HD has many side effects that are related to patients’ ... -
