Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 era on mortality rates among dialysis patients in Switzerland, comparing it to the pre-COVID-19 era while considering direct effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- The research included data from 7,837 dialysis patients between 2014 and 2022, revealing higher crude mortality rates during the COVID-19 era (14.2%) compared to the pre-COVID-19 era (11.6%), but increased risk was primarily linked to direct SARS-CoV-2 infections rather than the pandemic period itself.
- The findings suggest that the COVID-19 era did not lead to increased mortality for dialysis patients, indicating that measures taken during the pandemic may not
Article Synopsis
- Hyperkalemia is a health problem linked to heart issues in patients receiving dialysis, and this study looks at how different dialysis methods affect potassium removal.
- The study involved 141 patients, with most receiving online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), and it found that the method didn't significantly change how much potassium was removed during treatment.
- The main factors affecting potassium removal were the levels of potassium in the dialysis solution and the length of the dialysis session, not the type of dialysis used.
Microscopic hematuria (MH) is a frequent biological finding. In most cases, the etiology is benign, symptomatic and reversible. The diagnostic approach allows classifying hematuria as glomerular or non-glomerular.

Serum copeptin, as a proxy for vasopressin, and urinary uromodulin, were associated with PE physiopathology and kidney functional mass respectively. We describe concentrations of these proteins in the post-partum period and characterize their association with persistent hypertension (HTN) or albuminuria.
