Meeting Treatment Goals in Patients on Extramural Dialysis in Health Social Security in Mexico.

Introduction: For the majority of renal replacement therapy history, the main treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Mexico has been peritoneal dialysis. However, the use of hemodialysis is overwhelmingly increasing, driving public health care institutions to subrogate this service. Even when the actual hiring model for subrogation is accurate, there is a lack of quality control points in the hemodialysis prescription, poor adherence to clinical practice guidelines, and a few or no record of outcomes in hemodialysis patients of these subrogated services.

Behavior of Calcium, Phosphorus, and Parathormone Before Transplantation and in Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 After Transplantation.

Background: Bone mineral disease after transplantation persists and is an issue that must be addressed owing to the cardiovascular impact it presents. The objective of this study is to present the behavior of calcium, phosphorus, and parathormone (PTH) before renal transplantation (RT) and throughout the 12 months after transplant surgery.

Methods: A longitudinal observational study of RT patients was performed from 2013 to 2017 in 2 renal transplant units in Mexico.

Compliance With Biochemical Objectives in Patients on Renal Replacement Therapy Before Kidney Transplantation in Mexico.

Objectives: The biochemical conditions in which patients arrive before renal transplantation (RT) are rarely evaluated; examples of them are found in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS). The objective of our study was to ascertain the fulfillment of biochemical goals for patients on renal replacement therapy before RT.

Material And Methods: Observational, retrospective study of patients who were on a RT protocol between 2012 and 2017 in 2 RT centers in Mexico.
