Accidental acute metabolic acidosis due to inappropriate selection of bicarbonate concentrate
(2005)Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate concentrate (bicarbonate dialysis) is the treatment modality of choice for correction of metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure. However, improper ratios of acid and bicarbonate ... -
AMY1 diploid copy number among end-stage renal disease patients
(2020)Purpose: The salivary amylase gene (AMY1) copy number variation (CNV) is increased as a human adaptation to starch-enriched nutritional patterns. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between AMY1 CNV, ... -
Anti-PD1 Immunotherapy for Metastatic Renal Cancer Boosted Humoral Immunity in a Hemodialysis Patient
(2021)Immune checkpoint inhibitors by blocking specific inhibitory pathways induce T-cell-mediated tumor lysis. However, many remain to be elucidated about their effect on human humoral immunity. We evaluated the effect of the ... -
Balloon Angioplasty Versus Stenting for the Treatment of Failing Arteriovenous Grafts: A Meta-Analysis
(2018)Purpose: To assess the outcomes of plain balloon angioplasty versus stenting for the treatment of failed or malfunctioning chronic haemodialysis arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). Methods: A systematic search of the literature ... -
“Blame it on the Comorbidities”: A 5-Year Follow-Up of 53 Chronic Dialysis-Dependent Patients Who Underwent Cardiac Surgery
(2016)Objectives This study evaluates midterm survival rates and risk factors for mortality of chronic dialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Fifty-three dialysis-dependent patients (34 males, aged 67 ± ... -
Cardiac autonomic function during intradialytic exercise training
(2019)Objectives: Cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction is a common feature in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) therapy, whilst is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac ... -

Combination of exercise training and dopamine agonists in patients with RLS on dialysis: A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study
(2015)Both exercise training and treatment with dopamine agonists (DA) have been used with success for the amelioration of uremic restless legs syndrome (RLS) symptoms. However, no data are available combining those two approaches. ... -
Disturbances of acquired immunity in hemodialysis patients
(2007)Acquired immunity disturbances in hemodialysis (HD) patients are many and diverse. They are caused by uremia per se, the HD procedure, chronic renal failure complications, and therapeutic interventions for their treatment. ... -
Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ... -
The effect of a 9-month hybrid intradialytic exercise training program on nerve conduction velocity parameters in patients receiving hemodialysis therapy
(2022)Introduction and aims: Neurological complications such as peripheral neuropathy are very common in the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, occurring in 60–80% of this specific population. The aim of the present study ... -
The effect of cold dialysis in motor and sensory symptoms of RLS/WED occurring during hemodialysis: A double-blind study
(2017)Restless legs syndrome/Willis–Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) is a common sensorimotory disorder affecting almost 30% of hemodialysis (HD) patients. RLS/WED induces discomfort during rest hours, and its symptoms have also been ... -
The Effect of Spirituality in Quality of Life of Hemodialysis Patients
(2022)This study aimed to assess the effect of spirituality on quality of life of end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). A cross-sectional study was carried out in six HD Units. The sample consisted of ... -
The Effect of Spirituality on Illness Perceptions in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: Spirituality and Health
(2021)The aim of this study was to assess the effect of spirituality on illness perceptions of Greek patients on hemodialysis. The cross-sectional study design was employed for this purpose. The sample comprised of 367 patients ... -
Effects of 12 months of detraining on health-related quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis therapy
(2020)Purpose: Limited data exist regarding the effects of detraining on functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) in the hemodialysis population. The aim of the current study was to assess whether the discontinuation from ... -
Endothelin-1 plasma levels in hemodialysis treatment - The influence of type 2 diabetes
(2005)In patients on chronic hemodialysis the prevalence of atherosclerosis is increased and is by far the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Endothelin-1, an endothelium-derived peptide with vasoconstrictive and mitogenic ... -
Epidemiology, impact, and treatment options of restless legs syndrome in end-stage renal disease patients: An evidence-based review
(2014)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) (or Willis-Ekbom disease) is a neurological disorder with high prevalence among the end-stage renal disease population. This is one of the most predominant types of secondary RLS, and it is ... -
Factors associated with leisure-time physical activity among patients undergoing hemodialysis
(2015)Background: End-stage renal disease patients are characterized by low levels of physical activity, especially during leisure time. However, the recognition of variables associated with patterns of physical activity in this ... -
