Introduction: The impact of timing of hemodialysis (HD) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients treated with twice-weekly HD remains unclear. We aimed to determine the effects of late initiation of HD on short-term mortality and hospitalization.
Methods: A multicenter cohort study was conducted in 11 HD centers in Northeastern Thailand (HEmodialysis Network of the NorthEastern Thailand study group).
Background: Etiologies for acute kidney injury (AKI) vary by geographic region and socioeconomic status. While considerable information is now available on AKI in the Americas, Europe and China, large comprehensive epidemiologic studies of AKI from Southeast Asia (SEA) are still lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the rates and characteristics of AKI among intensive care unit (ICU) patients in Thailand.

Methods: A prospective multi-center cohort study was conducted with one-year observation. Patients treated with twice- or thrice-weekly hemodialysis were identified.
Background: Peritonitis is a major complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Information on the specific risk of peritonitis is important in reducing this common complication.
Material And Method: A single center retrospective cohort study was done to assess time to first peritonitis event and risk factors in Thai CAPD population.
Objective: To evaluate patient and technique survival, and to analyze factors influencing survival in a large Thai CAPD program.
Material And Method: A single center, retrospective, observational cohort study was carried out to examine the baseline factors affecting patient and technique survival.
Results: From January 1995 to December 2005, 322 incident CAPD patients were recruited for study.
