Article Synopsis
- Low vitamin D levels are linked to low muscle mass or function in dialysis patients, and this study explored how different supplementation methods could improve muscle health in those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
- A randomized controlled trial compared two vitamin D treatment regimens—one based on severity and another with a fixed dose of 20,000 IU/week—on muscle mass, strength, and function in dialysis patients.
- Results showed both regimens significantly raised vitamin D levels, but the fixed-dose group experienced a notable increase in muscle mass compared to the severity-dependent group, especially among patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination is crucial for seronegative patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) for protection during dialysis while preparing for transplantation. A standard regimen for HBV vaccination requires 24 weeks to be completed. An accelerated HBV vaccination regimen completed within 8 weeks has shown early effective seroconversion in healthcare workers.

- * A study reports three cases of peritonitis caused by different unidentified mold species, which were correctly identified using DNA sequencing techniques.
- * The findings suggest that implementing strict aseptic techniques during PD and using DNA barcoding for diagnosis are crucial in preventing and accurately identifying fungal infections.
Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have higher risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to the general population. Cardio-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in HD patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of arterial stiffness in Thai HD patients.
