Blood pressure control with active ultrafiltration measures and without antihypertensives is essential for survival in hemodiafiltration and hemodialysis programs for patients with CKD: a prospective observational study.

Background: High blood pressure is a prevalent condition in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Adequate control of high blood pressure is essential to reducing deaths in this group. The present study aimed to observe mortality prospectively in a group of patients in hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration programs in whom the use of antihypertensives was optimized with the point-of-care dry weight (POC-DW) technique.

Objective: The efficacy of icodextrin versus glucose patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis remains unclear. The study was designed to compare the effects of once-daily long-dwell icodextrin versus glucose on markers of hypervolemia and survival among patients with kidney failure undergoing an unplanned initiation of automated peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: This was a randomized, non-blinded, and prospective controlled study.
Unbound Ceftriaxone Concentrations in Plasma Measured Using Ultrafiltration Versus Equilibrium Dialysis: A Short Communication.

Background: Ceftriaxone is a first-line beta-lactam antibiotic used in diverse clinical settings. Owing to pharmacokinetic alterations, ceftriaxone therapeutic drug monitoring is currently recommended for patients in the intensive care unit. Ultrafiltration is typically used to measure unbound ceftriaxone concentrations, as it is less costly and time-consuming compared with equilibrium dialysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and safety of ultrafiltration (UF) compared to traditional diuretic therapy in treating cardiac decompensation associated with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), especially when diuretics yield poor results.
- Analyzed data from 13 studies involving around 1,100 patients showed that UF had better trends in reducing creatinine and facilitating greater weight loss and fluid removal compared to diuretics, without impacting mortality or hospital stay durations significantly.
- The findings suggest that UF could be a beneficial alternative for patients not responding well to diuretics, potentially lowering readmission rates, though further prospective studies are necessary to confirm these benefits.

The technique of dialysis has seen enormous advancements over the past fifty years, evolving from an initial phase, primarily based on diffusion through a semipermeable membrane to the current preference for high-efficiency convection, involving the removal of several liters of ultrafiltrate. Diffusive dialysis, due to its relative simplicity in execution, has allowed the treatment of millions of individuals with ESRD, ensuring them a certain quality of life. However, it is not considered optimal in terms of survival and has some complications inherent to the uremic state.
