Aim: To evaluate the clinical outcome, identify predictors of patient and technique survival in our peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in the western region of Turkey.
Methods: We included all patients who initiated therapy between 2001 and 2010. Socio-demographic characteristics such as who helped to administer the PD as well as conditions under which PD was chosen by patients were investigated from patients' files.
Background: To investigate the effects of ESRD etiologies on mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Methods: We included patients who initiated therapy between 2001-2011 and classified them according to etiologies including amyloidosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic glomerulonephritis and polycistic renal disease. Socio-demographic data, clinical courses and infectious complications were compared between groups, and the reasons for peritoneal dialysis withdrawal were recorded.
Background: To evaluate the relationship between FGF23 and changes in biochemical parameters, left ventricle mass index, coronary, aortic and, valve calcifications.
Methods: Totally 185 patients with chronic renal disease were included in this prospective, cross-sectional study. The patients were stratified according to GFR levels (mL/min/1.
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the mortality and the factors which may affect it in patients who were transferred to peritoneal dialysis (PD) from hemodialysis (HD), compared to patients assigned to PD as first-line therapy.
Material And Methods: A total of 322 patients treated with PD between 2001 and 2010 were evaluated retrospectively. Twenty three patients were excluded and the data of remaining 299 patients (167F, mean follow up time 38.
