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 b...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of Endocrine Disrupting Substance on Estrogen Receptor Gene Transcription in Dialysis Patients Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 262-265 - 2007

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 s...... 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 ...... 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...... hiện toàn bộ
Tumor Necrosis Factor‐Related Apoptosis‐Inducing Ligand and Vascular Calcification Tập 15 Số 2 - Trang 140-146 - 2011

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 ...... 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). ...... hiện toàn bộ
