<i>Background:</i> The incidence of new-onset diabetes after initiation of hemodialysis (NODAD) and its impact on survival is not known. <i>Methods:</i> We used data from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) from January 2000 to December 2001, with at least 3 years of follow-up for this study. Patients aged 18–80 years were included. NODAD was defined as two ...... hiện toàn bộ
Starting Renal Replacement Therapy: Is It About Time?American Journal of Nephrology - Tập 50 Số 2 - Trang 144-151 - 2019
Elaine Ku, Charles E. McCulloch, Kirsten L. Johansen
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Studies of the timing of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have primarily defined “early” versus “late” initiation of dialysis using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)-based criteria. Our objective was to determine the theoretical <i>time</i> that could be spent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 prior to reaching a c...... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Autonomic Neuropathy in the Genesis of Intradialytic HypotensionAmerican Journal of Nephrology - Tập 21 Số 5 - Trang 357-361 - 2001
Ming‐Hong Chang, Kang-Ju Chou
<i>Background:</i> Intradialytic hypotension is a frequent complication of hemodialysis. Some authors have pointed to autonomic neuropathy as a major cause of intradialytic hypotension. However, other authors have found no such association. <i>Methods:</i> Tilt-table test and time-domain measures of heart rate variation were used to determine autonomic function. Con...... hiện toàn bộ

Chlorthalidone for Poorly Controlled Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease: An Interventional Pilot StudyAmerican Journal of Nephrology - Tập 39 Số 2 - Trang 171-182 - 2014
Rajiv Agarwal, Arjun Sinha, Maria K. Pappas, Farah Ammous
To test the hypothesis that thiazide-type diuretics effectively lower blood pressure (BP) in moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD; estimated GFR 20-45 ml/min/ 1.73 m<sup>2</sup>), after confirming poorly controlled hypertension with 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, chlorthalidone was added to existing medications in a dose of 25 mg/day, and the dose doubled every 4...... hiện toàn bộ
Predictors of Hyperkalemia Risk following Hypertension Control with Aldosterone BlockadeAmerican Journal of Nephrology - Tập 30 Số 5 - Trang 418-424 - 2009
Nitin Khosla, Rigas Kalaitzidis, George L. Bakris
<i>Background:</i> Aldosterone antagonists have proven efficacy for management of resistant hypertension and proteinuria reduction; however, they are not widely used due to risk of hyperkalemia. This study assesses the risk factors for hyperkalemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and resistant hypertension whose blood pressure (BP) is reduced to a guideline goal. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Routine Bioimpedance-Derived Volume Assessment for All Hypertensives: A New ParadigmAmerican Journal of Nephrology - Tập 40 Số 5 - Trang 434-440 - 2014
Adrian Covic, Luminiţa Voroneanu, David Goldsmith
Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases. Is linked with increased morbidity and mortality and amplified costs to society; in this context, preventing and treating hypertension is an imperative public health challenge. Unidentified, clinically unapparent volume expansion is an important cause for hypertension. Optimization of fluid status was associated with an improvement...... hiện toàn bộ
