Background: Aim of this cross-sectional, multicentre study was to investigate associations of dialysis vintage time in haemodialysis (CKD5D) patients with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and dental and periodontal treatment need.
Material And Methods: CKD5D patients were divided into subgroups according to dialysis vintage time in different dialysis centres in Germany. OHRQoL was assessed with oral health impact profile (OHIP-G14). Dental treatment need was classified as presence of carious lesions. Periodontal treatment need was defined as periodontal screening index score (PSI) 3-4.
Results: In total, 190 participants were divided into the subgroups according to the time on CKD5D: 0 - 2 (n = 29), 3 - 5 (n = 35), 6 - 8 (n = 34), 9 - 12 (n = 29), 13 - 20 (n = 34) and >20 years (n = 29). The overall treatment need in the total cohort was 92% (dental 56%, periodontal 88%) with a total OHIP-G14 sum score of 4.17 [2; 0-5] without a significant correlation. Time on CKD5D was inversely correlated with the OHIP G14 score (p<0.01, R = -0.201). The pattern psychosocial impact was significantly associated with the dialysis duration (p<0.01) and showed a negative correlation to the OHIP-G14 (R = -0.283, Spearman's rho test p<0.01). For oral function also a negative correlation with OHIP-G14 was detected (Spearman's rho: -0.183).
Conclusions: Patients with a prolonged dialysis vintage time show an improved OHRQoL, which might be mainly caused by the positive development of psychosocial pattern of OHRQoL. The oral health situation of HD patients seems unsatisfying, independently of dialysis vintage time and OHRQoL. Accordingly, an improvement in oral health situation of CKD5D patients is mandatory necessary. Thereby, consideration of psychosocial aspects especially at the beginning of CKD5D therapy and a sensitization regarding oral health issues with increasing vintage time might be recommendable.

Background: Results from the CONVINCE clinical trial suggest a 23% mortality risk reduction among patients receiving high-volume (> 23 L) hemodiafiltration. We assessed the real-world effectiveness of blood-based kidney replacement therapy (KRT) with hemodiafiltration vs. hemodialysis in a large, unselected patient population treated prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

: This study aimed to evaluate the association between QoL, self-assessed physical activity, and the presence and severity of muscle spasms in chronic hemodialysis patients. Patients undergoing regular in-center hemodialysis (HD) have much lower quality of life (QoL) than healthy individuals. However, there is limited knowledge about the impact of specific common complications of hemodialysis, particularly muscle spasms on the overall well-being of patients.

Introduction Hemodialysis (HD) therapy is a crucial treatment for patients with renal failure but can impact the hemodynamics of antithrombin (AT), a protein essential for regulating hemostasis and preventing thrombosis. Reduced AT activity can lead to thrombus formation at unusual sites and increase the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism. The loss of AT during HD or hemodiafiltration (HDF) through leakage or adsorption onto dialysis membranes has not been fully investigated, and its effects on AT hemodynamics remain unclear.

Purpose: To investigate the current status of medication adherence among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in a primary hospital and to explore the influencing factors of medication adherence among PD patients.
Methods: The author used the Chinese version of the Morisky Medication Compliance Scale to evaluate the medication compliance of 226 PD patients in a single centre. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyse the factors influencing medication compliance in patients.

Malnutrition is prevalent among hemodialysis patients, negatively impacting their quality of life (QoL) and chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). This study investigates the association between the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) and CKD-aP, as well as QoL, in hemodialysis patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 479 HD patients (279 males and 200 females) referred to eight dialysis centers.
