Article Synopsis
- Limited data exists in Europe, particularly in France, about how to effectively manage anaemia in patients with dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (DD CKD).
- A study analyzed medical records from 2016, including 1,286 patients with anaemia, focusing on their demographics, treatment regimens, and outcomes over two years.
- While most patients received treatments like iron and erythropoietin-stimulating agents, the duration of hemoglobin levels within the recommended range was short, indicating a need for improved anaemia management strategies.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on predicting renal outcomes in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) using a prognostic model based on genetic and clinical factors.
- Four key variables were identified that influence the age at which patients may reach end-stage renal disease (ESRD), leading to a scoring system that categorizes patients into low, intermediate, or high risk for ESRD progression.
- The new scoring system can help tailor treatment plans by accurately forecasting ESRD onset, with high predictive values for early and delayed progression based on individual patient scores.
Background: Cardiac disease is the main cause of mortality in long-term hemodialysis patients. Cardiac troponins (cTn) have been proposed to be markers of cardiac damage, but their value is still debated in hemodialysis patients. The aim of this prospective study is to assess the prognostic value of biochemical cardiac markers in long-term hemodialysis patients.
