Abstract: Apheresis has been recognized both economically and therapeuticallyas
a novel approach for the treatment of inflammatory diseases,and certain others,
which respond poorly to drug therapy. This reportis about Adacolumn, an
adsorptive carrier based granulocyteand monocyte apheresis device with a volume
of 335 mL,filled with about 220 g of cellulose acetate beads of 2 mmdiameter as

Target for Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients on Hemodialysis: Effects of Anemia and Erythropoietin Injection on Hemoglobin A1c Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 89-94 - 2009

AbstractIn hemodialysis (HD) patients the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level may
underestimate glycemic control. The aim of this study is to estimate accurate
glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients on HD. Type 2 diabetes patients
(N = 87) who had been receiving maintenance HD for at least one year were
enrolled. HbA1c and the percentage of glycated albumin relative to total the
serum albumin ... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of Endocrine Disrupting Substance on Estrogen Receptor Gene Transcription in Dialysis Patients Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 262-265 - 2007
Yoshihiko Kanno, Hirokazu Okada, Tatsuya Kobayashi, Tsuneo Takenaka, Hiromichi Suzuki
Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalate diesters, two well‐described
endocrine‐disrupting substances (EDSs), were shown to elute out of the dialysis
tubing used by patients who underwent hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis
(PD). Since these patients require dialysis for survival, they may be exposed to
potentially harmful levels of these compounds. In this study, serum BPA levels
were qua... hiện toàn bộ
Preoperative Dialysis for Liver Transplantation in Methylmalonic Acidemia Tập 15 Số 5 - Trang 488-492 - 2011
Koichi Kamei, Shuichi Ito, Takanobu Shigeta, Seisuke Sakamoto, Akinari Fukuda, Reiko Horikawa, Osamu Saitô, Takashi Muguruma, Satoshi Nakagawa, Kazumoto Iijima, Mureo Kasahara
AbstractDialysis immediately before liver transplantation for patients with
methylmalonic academia (MMA) with the mut0 mutation is considered to be
necessary to reduce plasma methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels and prevent metabolic
decompensation for a successful surgical outcome; however, this has not yet been
conclusively confirmed. Ten pediatric patients underwent living donor liver
transplantatio... hiện toàn bộ
Cell‐free DNA in the Peritoneal Effluent of Peritoneal Dialysis Solutions Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 20-26 - 2010

AbstractThe beneficial effects of novel peritoneal dialysis solutions low in
glucose degradation products regarding peritoneal cell apoptosis and necrosis
are well established in vitro, however in vivo data is lacking. Cell‐free DNA
quantification is a possible method to determine cell damage through apoptosis
and necrosis in vivo. We performed a prospective, cross‐over study on 26 stable
continuo... hiện toàn bộ
Tumor Necrosis Factor‐Related Apoptosis‐Inducing Ligand and Vascular Calcification Tập 15 Số 2 - Trang 140-146 - 2011
Maud Chasseraud, Sophie Liabeuf, Anaïs Mozar, Romuald Mentaverri, Michel Brazier, Saı̈d Kamel
AbstractVascular calcification is frequent in patients with chronic kidney
disease. Osteoprotegerin (OPG, a soluble factor which blocks osteoclast
differentiation) has recently been implicated in the genesis of vascular
calcification. Given that OPG can bind the pro‐apoptotic tumor necrosis
factor‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL), we hypothesized that the TRAIL
protein is involved in the ... hiện toàn bộ
Hyperkalemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis: Its pathophysiology and management Tập 26 Số 1 - Trang 3-14 - 2022
Shigeru Shibata, Shunya Uchida
AbstractPotassium is a major intracellular cation in the body, regulating
membrane potential of excitable cells, such as cardiomyocytes and skeletal
muscle cells. Because the kidney plays a critical role in controlling potassium
balance, the elevation in serum potassium levels is one of the most common
complications in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). In addition to
reduced renal pota... hiện toàn bộ
