Frailty and mortality among dialysis patientsRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 3 - Trang 1-6 - 2017
Kosaku Nitta, Norio Hanafusa, Ken Tsuchiya
Frailty is a clinical state in which there is an increase in the individual’s vulnerability to developing increased dependency and/or mortality when exposed to a stressor. Since the mean age of dialysis patients is increasing worldwide, frailty has recently come to be considered one of the risk factors for mortality in the older dialysis population. The prevalence of frailty among dialysis patient...... hiện toàn bộ
Usefulness of the Japanese version of the 5-D itch scale for rating pruritus experienced by patients undergoing hemodialysisRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 4 - Trang 1-10 - 2018

Pruritus in patients undergoing hemodialysis reduces quality of life via insomnia and depression, and negatively affects prognosis. For diagnosing pruritus, selecting therapeutic strategies, and determining therapeutic outcomes, methods are needed for objectively quantifying the degree of itchiness. In 2015, the Japanese version of the 5-D itch scale (5D-J), originally developed in the USA in 2010...... hiện toàn bộ
Timing-adjusted iron dosing enhances erythropoiesis-stimulating agent-induced erythropoiesis response and iron utilizationRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 3 - Trang 1-7 - 2017

We recently demonstrated, using an index of recently synthesized hemoglobin, reticulocyte hemoglobin (Ret-Hb), that iron administration remarkably improves hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis during the period of high activation of erythropoiesis induced by the administration of a continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA). We aimed to investigate whether repetition of iron dosing sustains effectiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Causative organisms and outcomes of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Malaysia: a 3-year analysisRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 3 - Trang 1-7 - 2017

Peritoneal dialysis peritonitis remains a significant cause of morbidity for peritoneal dialysis patients and the main reason for conversion from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis. As the characteristics of patients and microbial susceptibility vary from center to center, the aim of this study is to evaluate the microbiology and the clinical outcomes among continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialys...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of clinical effects between icodextrin and glucose solutions on outcomes of peritoneal dialysis: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trialsRenal Replacement Therapy - - 2020

AbstractBackgroundIcodextrin enhances peritoneal filtration for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, clinically important outcomes have not yet been analyzed using authentic, objective statistical methods. The present systematic review aimed to determine the risks and benefits of icodextrin compared with a glucose-based ...... hiện toàn bộ

The goal of the present study was to explore the differences in effects between erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) types on hemoglobin (Hb) level at the initiation of maintenance dialysis. This was a cross-sectional study. From January 2006 to October 2012, 2920 patients with end-stage kidney disease commenced hemodialysis (HD) at nine participating hospitals. The criteria for exclusion from t...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of clinical engineers in dialysis therapy in JapanRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 10 - Trang 1-7 - 2024
Takashi Honma, Masao Takagi, Junji Uchino, Ken Tsuchiya
Traditionally in Japan, dialysis treatment has been performed primarily by physicians and nurses. However, with the advancement of related medical equipment, such as the development of dialyzers and dialysis monitoring equipment, technical support by technicians has become necessary. Therefore, in 1988, the “Clinical Engineers Act” was enacted and recognized as an official national qualification f...... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of inherited changes of uric acid levels in kidney dysfunction including stage 5 D and T: a systematic reviewRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 6 - Trang 1-24 - 2020
Fateme Shamekhi Amiri, Zohreh Rostami
Familial juvenile hereditary nephropathy (FJHN) is characterized by hyperuricemia due to severely impaired urinary excretion of urate. Hereditary renal hypouricemia is an inborn error of membrane transport. Because studies of inherited tubulopathy is rare, prevalence and diagnosis of these inherited tubulopathy increase with genetic testing.The aim of this study is to investigate prevalence of cli...... hiện toàn bộ
Cancer screening and treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease: remaining issues in the field of onco-nephrologyRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 2 - Trang 1-9 - 2016

Onco-nephrology is a rapidly growing field that has recently garnered significant attention. Although the risk of developing cancer is reported to be higher in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than in the general population, the screening protocol and the treatment of cancer in ESRD patients have not yet been established. Recent studies have suggested that cancer screening in dialysis ...... hiện toàn bộ
Age- and gender-specific incidence rates of renal replacement therapy in Japan: an international comparisonRenal Replacement Therapy - Tập 2 - Trang 1-7 - 2016
Minako Wakasugi, Junichiro James Kazama, Ichiei Narita
Japan has relatively low incidence rates of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among those aged 0–19 years, but relatively high rates for the older age band. On the other hand, Australia has relatively high rates among those aged 0–19 years, but relatively low rates for the older age band. Thus, an international comparison between Japan and Australia would be infor...... hiện toàn bộ
