“…Poor control of mineral metabolism is also associated with a higher risk for death, calcification of the coronary arteries and aorta, increased arterial stiffness, and cardiac valve calcification (8 -11,27). A recent report from a large international dialysis database demonstrated that among HD patients in five European countries, hospitalization rates for cardiovascular-related causes were as high as 26% (28). Because cinacalcet is not associated with elevations in calcium and phosphorus, treatment strategies that include cinacalcet may allow better achievement of the K/DOQI targets and possibly reduce complications associated with secondary HPT.…”

“…The use of tunneled or temporary catheters among prevalent patients also varies widely by country. 4 DOPPS has increased our understanding of these differences by studying facility practices at each stage of the pathway: patient presentation to a nephrologist, choice of access type, timing and performance of vascular access surgery, and access cannulation. 2,3,5 …”

“…Sin embargo, estos catéteres no están exentos de complicaciones y su duración es limitada, señalándose como principales complicaciones, infección, déficit de flujo sanguíneo, coagulaciones y trombosis 3,4 . La infección es la complicación más grave, por cuanto puede ocasionar bacteriemia y sepsis en los pacientes, originando un cuadro severo, siendo su frecuencia del 4 al 20 %, dependiendo de las series publicadas 5,6 . El déficit de flujo sanguíneo es una complicación frecuente, que puede comprometer la eficacia de la HD y sobre todo, supone uno de los problemas más importantes para enfermería en su manejo.…”
