The Relationship Between Anemia and Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Patients With Kidney Failure Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment in Georgia.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its associated complications, such as anemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), pose significant challenges to global healthcare systems. This study explores the demographic and clinical characteristics of 284 kidney failure (KF) patients undergoing hemodialysis, in an effort to shed light on the possible association between anemia and SHPT. A proven connection between the two could theoretically influence the management plans for CKD patients, with the hopes of achieving lower morbidity and/or mortality in this patient group.

Association of Sleep Problems With Dialysis Shifts in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Introduction According to a 2023 poll by the International Society of Nephrology, 850 million individuals worldwide suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) is the primary treatment for 69% of the patients with CKD. While HD effectively regulates fluid balance and electrolyte levels, patients often face challenges such as weakness, exhaustion, and cognitive changes, which impact their quality of life. Sleep-related issues, including poor quality, excessive morning sleepiness, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome (RLS), are particularly common among HD patients.

Clinical Course and Outcome of Cardiovascular Manifestations in Children With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Georgia.

A SARS-CoV-2 infection is usually characterized by a very mild clinical course in the pediatric population. However, children can be severely affected, and clinical manifestations may differ from adults, mainly in terms of post-COVID-19 infection complications already known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). As the name suggests, this condition involves many systems, including the cardiovascular system, clinical manifestations of which include myocarditis, coronary artery aneurysms, conduction abnormalities, and arrhythmias.
