Article Synopsis
- - This study aims to find a more convenient way to evaluate sodium and potassium intake, which is important for managing conditions like hypertension and kidney stones, comparing a new method using multiple scheduled spot urine samples to the traditional 24-hour urine collection method.
- - Researchers measured the sodium or potassium to creatinine ratios in four scheduled spot urine samples and found a significant correlation with the 24-hour urine excretion measurements, indicating that the new method is reliable.
- - The results suggest that using four scheduled spot urine samples can be an effective alternative to the cumbersome 24-hour collection for estimating sodium and potassium excretion levels.
Objective: The importance of serum uric acid (SUA) for the maintenance of a hemodialysis (MHD) population has not been well established. The aim of this study was to determine if SUA levels are associated with nutritional risk and consequently with adverse clinical outcomes in MHD patients.
Methods: This was a 2-y prospective observational study, performed on 261 MHD outpatients (38.
Background/objectives: The association of bioimpedance phase angle (PA), as a measure of nutritional status, with muscle function, health-related quality of life (QoL) and subsequent clinical outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
Subjects/methods: A 2-year prospective observational study on 250 MHD outpatients (36.8% women) with a mean age of 68.
Objective: We hypothesize that longitudinal changes in phase angle (PA) have independent associations with changes in inflammatory parameters over time and consequently with long-term survival in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of change in nutritional and inflammatory parameters over time on change in PA and on subsequent mortality in patients on MHD.
Methods: A 2-y prospective longitudinal study was performed on 91 prevalent HD patients (57 men and 34 women), followed by an additional 3 y of clinical observations.
The possibility of developing coronary steal in patients having coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) using internal thoracic artery (ITA) and ipsilateral upper extremity arteriovenous (AV) hemodialysis shunt has been reported. The impact of this phenomenon on clinical outcomes is uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate an association between the AV dialysis shunt location regarding the side of the ITA CABG and clinical outcomes.
