Purpose: Since the type of vascular access is very important and a significant risk factor for mortality in patients on hemodialysis, the aim of our study was to determine the impact of AVF positioning on the mortality of our patients.
Methods: The survey was organized as a prospective, clinical and non-randomized study of 538 surgical interventions on 323 patients, which indicates that a large number of patients had more than one fistula. Among these patients, 120 subjects (81 (67.
Background/aim: Vascular endothelium plays an important role in atherogenesis. The aim of this study was to estimate the correlation of endothelium malfunction and arteriosclerosis in patients on hemodialysis.
Methods: The investigation was designed as a clinical, non-randomized, five-year study in the "Kragujevac" Clinical Center and included 146 patients.
Background And Aim: The nutritive status has significant role in improving the quality of life of dialysis' patients. The aim of this study was to find out if there is any correlation of the anthropometric parameters and markers of nutrition with the adequacy of HD.
Methods: The investigation was organized as a clinical, cross sectional study.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the survival of patients treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) and to detect any association with the type of metabolic changes.
Methods: The outcome of clinical treatment of 407 dialysis patients was analyzed over a 4-year period. This included the demographic characteristics, the duration of dialysis, smoking, residual renal function, existence of metabolic syndrome and malnutrition, waist girth, body mass index (BMI), comorbidity, and routine biochemical parameters.
Objective: Metabolic abnormalities contribute to increases in the mortality rate of patients on hemodialysis. Here, we estimate the importance and influence of metabolic syndrome and malnutrition on mortality rate.
Design: This was a follow-up study.
