Dialysis patients who develop cardiac failure have a poor prognosis. Recurrent subclinical
myocardial ischemia is important in the genesis of heart failure in nondialysis patients. It has …

Introduction. Vascular calcification is a critical determinant of cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality in chronic haemodialysis (HD) patients. The pathophysiology underlying this …

Background. Tunnelled catheters are widely used to provide vascular access for haemodialysis.
Percutaneous insertion of these catheters requires large calibre tissue dilators with the …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in
hemodialysis (HD) patients. The baroreflex arc is under autonomic control and regulates blood …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in
chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients and can be ameliorated by cool temperature HD. The …

Background and objectives: Tissue-advanced glycation end products (AGE) are a measure
of cumulative metabolic stress. Assessment of tissue AGE by skin autofluoresence (AF) …

A 26-year-old man presented to the emergency department in a state of collapse. One month
prior to the current admission he was seen by a urologist with frank haematuria associated …

Dialysis‐induced hypotension remains a significant problem in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Numerous factors result in dysregulation of blood pressure control and impaired myocardial …

Pathological relationships between cardiovascular structure and function remain important in
the understanding of both haemodynamic instability and cardiovascular mortality in chronic …

Considerable intrinsic intrapatient variability influences the actual delivery of Kt/V. The aim
of this study is to examine the feasibility of using continuous online assessment of ionic …
