Article Synopsis
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is prevalent among hemodialysis patients and indicates a negative prognosis, prompting a study to uncover risk factors, particularly skin perfusion pressure (SPP).
- The study involved 373 patients from the Oyokyo Kidney Research Institute over 2 years, focusing on lower limb survival and overall survival.
- Findings revealed that an SPP below 70 mmHg, along with older age, cardiovascular history, diabetes, and smoking, significantly increased risks for both lower limb and overall survival, allowing for the stratification of patients into three risk groups.
The oral adsorbent AST-120 has the potential to delay dialysis initiation and improve survival of patients on dialysis. We evaluated the effect of AST-120 on dialysis initiation and its potential to improve survival in patients with chronic kidney disease. The present retrospective pair-matched study included 560 patients, grouped according to whether or not they received AST-120 before dialysis (AST-120 and non-AST-120 groups).
