Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how oral ferric citrate hydrate (FCH) affects iron absorption in hemodialysis patients and looked at the role of hepcidin-25, a hormone that regulates iron metabolism, in this process.
- - Over six months, 268 participants were treated with FCH, and researchers tracked changes in serum iron levels to assess absorption, finding that lower hepcidin-25 levels correlated with better iron absorption.
- - Results indicated that as erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) was limited, patients experienced higher hepcidin-25 levels, leading to lower iron absorption from the intestine despite ongoing treatment with FCH.
Currently, there are no detailed reports on the effects of vitamin E-bonded polysulfone (PS) membrane dialyzers on intradialytic hypotension (IDH) in diabetic hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study was designed to evaluate changes in intradialytic systolic blood pressure (SBP) using "VPS-HA" vitamin E-bonded super high-flux PS membrane dialyzers. The subjects were 62 diabetic HD patients whose intradialytic SBP fell by more than 20%.
