Association of hypoalbuminemia with hospitalization and mortality in hemodialysis patients with COVID-19.

Introduction: Hypoalbuminemia is associated with poor nutritional status and inflammatory response in infectious diseases. It is commonly observed in COVID-19 patients. The aim of this study is to assess the association of serum albumin with hospitalization and mortality in dialysis patients with COVID-19.

Effect of far-infrared therapy device on arteriovenous fistula maturation and lifespan in hemodialysis patients: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first choice of vascular access for hemodialysis treatment, and its surgical maturity rate is not high, and its postoperative complications (mostly stenosis) significantly shorten its life. At present, there are few studies on treatment methods to improve the maturity and survival of AVF. In this study, the effect of far infrared therapy (FIR) on the maturity and longevity of arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients was discussed, and the protective mechanism of AVF induced by FIR therapy was explored, aiming at exploring a new treatment method.
