Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a widespread condition affecting blood health globally, impacting both developing and developed countries, and this study aims to compare vascular calcification and mineral bone disease in non-dialysis versus dialysis patients in Pakistan.
- Conducted at Pak Emirates Military Hospital from November 2020 to February 2021, the study included 310 CKD patients, split evenly into two groups: those not on dialysis and those dependent on dialysis, assessing their vascular health and mineral profiles.
- Results showed that nearly a third of patients had vascular calcification, with dialysis-dependent patients exhibiting significantly more vascular calcification and abnormal mineral profiles, indicating worse bone mineral health (p<0.05).

November 2021
Background: Multiple options have been tried to counter the proteinuria secondary to renal diseases. Clinicians and researchers are trying to find the best option for this purpose.
Objective: To compare efficacy of Losartan and Diltiazem in management of proteinuria in nondiabetic renal diseases at a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan.

Article Synopsis
- * A study was conducted on dialysis patients at a single hospital to develop a new technique for placing tunnelled cuffed catheters (TCC) without fluoroscopic guidance, using anatomical landmarks and ultrasound measurements instead.
- * Out of 209 catheters placed, there was a high success rate of 97.1%, especially in the right internal jugular vein, demonstrating that the new method is both safe and effective in resource-limited settings.
Early versus late arterio-venous fistulae: impact on failure rate.
J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad
April 2012
Background: Haemodialysis is the primary mode of renal replacement therapy for patients of end stage renal disease. The most important determinant for effective haemodialysis is a reliable vascular access. Arterio-venous (AV) fistula is the closest to be an ideal long-term haemodialysis vascular access.
