Haemodialysis per se did not have a significant effect on endothelial function or large artery mechanical vessel wall properties in patients on maintenance dialysis therapy.
The results show that the administration of RF-bic solution was superior in normalizing acidosis of patients without the risk of alkalosis. The data also suggest that the use of RF-bic during CVVH reduces cardiovascular events in critically ill patients with acute renal failure, particularly those with previous cardiovascular disease or heart failure.
High doses of iron sucrose (Venofer((R)) at a dose of 250 mg/month) was equally effective in maintaining haemoglobin and equally well tolerated as low doses of iron gluconate (Ferrlecit((R)) at a dose of 62.5 mg once per week) in stable, rHuEpo treated haemodialysis patients.
In this retrospective cross-sectional study, even patients with slightly elevated serum creatinine levels of 1.3 to 1.4 mg/dL had a significantly reduced long-term outcome after PCI. Thus, even mild chronic renal failure appears to be associated with markedly increased risk after a PCI, with implications to the high number of patients concerned.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
