Background And Objectives: To evaluate differences in erythropoietin requirements between diabetic and non-diabetic patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
Design And Settings: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted between January 2010 and December 2011, at King Khalid University Hospital Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with 47 peritoneal and 57 hemodialysis patients.
Methods: A total of 24 (51%) peritoneal dialysis and 30 (52.6%) hemodialysis patients were suffering from diabetes. We compared demographics, hemoglobin, ferritin, transferrin saturation, C-reactive protein, parathyroid hormone, and weekly erythropoietin dose.
Results: The mean weekly dose of erythropoietin was 5391.3 (4692.7) units in peritoneal dialysis (diabetic and non-diabetic) patients compared to 9869.7 (5631.7) units in hemodialysis (diabetic and non-diabetic) patients, with a difference of 4478.3 (6615) units (P=.001). The mean weekly dose in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was 3818.2 (4489.5) units, compared to 8814.8 (5121.9) units in hemodialysis (P=.001) patients. The mean weekly dose in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was 6545.4 (3863.5) units compared to 12 222 (6210) units in non-diabetic hemodialysis patients (P=.02). Diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients required a lower dose of erythropoietin compared to non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients (3818.2 [4489.5] units vs 6545.4 [3863.5] units per week) (P=.036). In hemodialysis patients, the mean erythropoietin dose was lower in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients (8814.8 [5121.9] units vs 12 222 [6210] units per week) (P=.043).
Conclusion: The diabetic patients in both groups (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) required less erythropoietin than non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis required less erythropoietin diabetic patients on hemodialysis.

Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, children, displaced people, and refugees, often encounter challenges in accessing healthcare. In this study, we used data from the third iteration of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) to describe kidney care access and delivery to vulnerable populations across countries and regions. Using data from an international survey of clinicians, policymakers, and patient advocates, we assessed the funding and coverage of vulnerable populations on all aspects of kidney replacement therapies (KRT).

Background: Anxiety is a common psychological comorbidity in patients undergoing dialysis, yet its impact on treatment adherence and complication rates remains understudied. We designed a longitudinal observational study to investigate these relationships, based on the hypothesis that higher anxiety symptoms would be associated with increased complication rates and negatively associated with adherence to the dialysis regimen.
Aim: To investigate the relationship between anxiety symptoms, dialysis adherence, and complication rates in patients undergoing dialysis over a 24-month period.

Cloudiness in peritoneal dialysate is a key clinical indicator of peritonitis. However, distinguishing between turbidity caused by peritonitis and that induced by drug administration can be challenging. To better understand this phenomenon, data were collected between April 2020 and March 2023 from 287 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients undergoing benidipine-controlled blood pressure management in our PD center.
