Introduction: We aimed to study the prevalence, risk factors, management, and outcome of hernias in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) from India.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of ESRD-PD patients who developed hernias over 11 years.
Results: Of 470 PD patients, 21 developed hernias (4.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the death rates among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on peritoneal dialysis who contracted COVID-19 at a designated hospital.
- Out of 136 ESRD patients on peritoneal dialysis, 27 were diagnosed with COVID-19, leading to a mortality rate of 51.8%.
- Findings indicated that deceased patients had lower serum albumin and higher D-dimer levels compared to survivors, and the observed mortality rate was higher than that reported in other studies.
Introduction: Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who have normal renal function (creatinine clearance, >90 ml per minute per 1.73 m of body-surface area) might potentially benefit from frequent water intake that would be sufficient to reduce plasma AVP levels and decrease the average urine osmolality, bringing it closer to that of plasma.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the patients of ADPKD, chronic kidney disease stages 1-5 were included.
Introduction: One of the reasons for the peritoneal dialysis (PD) underutilization is related to the training of nephrology postgraduates in PD. This notion is not yet investigated in our country.
Methods: We gathered the emails of the heads of the departments of nephrology of all medical colleges and the institutes, which impart DM nephrology post-graduation.
