Background: Pivotal randomized trials demonstrating efficacy, safety and good tolerance, of two new potassium binders (patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) led to their recent approval. A major hurdle to the implementation of these potassium-binders is understanding how to integrate them safely and effectively into the long-term management of cardiovascular and kidney disease patients using renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), the latter being prone to induce hyperkalaemia.
Methods: A multidisciplinary academic panel including nephrologists and cardiologists was convened to develop consensus therapeutic algorithm(s) aimed at optimizing the use of the two novel potassium binders (patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) in stable adults who require treatment with RAASi and experience(d) hyperkalaemia in a non-emergent setting.
Background: The large amount of glucose in the dialysate used in peritoneal dialysis (PD) likely affects the glycemic control. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between HbA1c variability, as a measure of long-term glycemic variability, and the risk of all-cause mortality in diabetic patients with PD.
Methods: 325 patients with diabetes and ESRD were followed (2008-2018) in the Swedish Renal Registry.
Article Synopsis
- Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is a special treatment for patients with serious illnesses that don't get better with regular medicine.
- Researchers gathered data from over 104,000 TA procedures on more than 15,000 patients to learn more about its effects and outcomes.
- Most patients needed it to collect stem cells for treatment, and the number of side effects has gone down a lot in recent years, showing that the treatment is becoming safer.
Background: Patients in maintenance hemodialysis (HD) need a patent vascular access for optimal treatment. The recommended first choice is a native arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Complications of AVF are frequent and include thrombosis, stenosis and infections leading to worsening of dialysis efficacy.

Purpose: To explore risk factors for complications in initial versus subsequent biopsies in native and transplant kidneys, which may predict biopsy complications.
Material And Methods: In a multicenter study, 2830 native kidney biopsies (4.
