Aims: Few studies have looked at blood pressure (BP) evolution after nephrectomy, except for in living kidney donors with no clinical relevant modifications. STAFF is a pilot, open-label, observational study to evaluate the feasibility of following BP by home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) after nephrectomy for cancer.
Major Findings: 56 patients (66.
Introduction: Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESA) are largely prescribed before dialysis stage to chronic kidney disease patients. In accordance to current international guidelines, lots have been made by pharmacological companies in order to improve self management of ESAs: subcutaneaous administration, pencil devices, mutidose cartridges, low injection volume, very fine needles, once a month injections but none is currently known on the percentage of patients who actually do self administration of ESAs.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a simple prospective questionnaire study in different nephrology departments in France, on pre-dialysis patients.
