Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of intravenous iron treatment for First Nations Australians with end-stage kidney disease who have high ferritin levels and low transferrin saturation while undergoing haemodialysis.
- It involves a randomized controlled trial with 576 participants, comparing those receiving monthly intravenous iron to a standard treatment group without iron therapy.
- The main goal is to determine the impact of iron treatment on hospitalizations due to infections or overall mortality, alongside an economic analysis and other secondary outcomes.
Background: Warfarin for the prevention of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF)-related thromboembolic stroke in patients on maintenance haemodialysis is controversial. Despite the exclusion of haemodialysis patients in randomised control trials, the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology has recommended warfarin in high-risk AF patients.
Aims: To retrospectively examine the utility of warfarin anticoagulation therapy in our prevalent haemodialysis patients over 10 years of follow up.
Social disparity is a major impediment to optimal health outcomes after kidney transplantation. In this study, we aimed to define the association between socio-economic status (SES) disparities and patient-relevant outcomes after kidney allograft failure. Using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant registry, we included patients with failed first-kidney allografts in Australia between 2005 and 2017.
