Dialyzer reactions are long-appreciated complications of dialysis. Despite advances in dialysis machines and membranes, these life-threatening reactions still occur. It is imperative to recognize potential dialyzer reactions when assessing adverse dialysis events as reexposure to dialytic treatments could be life threatening. We present the case of a 72-year old woman with dialysis-requiring anuric acute kidney injury who experienced acute hypotension and cardiopulmonary arrest during both continuous renal replacement therapy and a subsequent hemodialysis treatment. We concluded that she had an anaphylactic reaction to an unidentified component of the dialysis equipment. Identification, work up, treatment, and reporting of dialyzer reactions are discussed in the context of this case.

Is cloudy peritoneal dialysate associated with adverse drug reactions to benidipine?

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.

A continuous flow setup comprising an inline dialysis unit for immediate monomer removal is used for the depolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (pMMA), synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The approach used allows one to carry out solution depolymerizations at much higher polymer content compared to batch processes while maintaining high depolymerization conversions. pMMA is efficiently depolymerized in the flow reactor, yielding up to 68% monomer recovery under catalyst-free reaction conditions at 160 °C, starting from a 1 molar repeat unit concentration, which is a 20-fold improvement compared to previous batch studies.

In hemodialysis (HD), complement activation, bioincompatibility, and inflammation are intricately intertwined. In the 1970s, as HD became a routine therapy, the observation of complement pathway activation and transient leukopenia by cellulosic dialysis membranes triggered the bioincompatibility debate and its clinical relevance. Extensive deliberations have covered definitions, assessment markers, scope, and long-term clinical consequences of membrane-dependent bioincompatibility reactions.

Chronic kidney disease is a really important heath issue, and transplantation is an intervention that can greatly increase patient quality of life and survival. The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the BK virus, CMV, and EBV in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs); to assess the prevalence of infections; and to test if our detection method would be feasible for use in follow-ups with KTRs. A total of 157 KTRs registered at the Clinical Hospital "Dr.

Introduction: Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by dermatophyte fungi, non-dermatophyte fungi, and yeast. Patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis are part of the population that presents higher rates of this disease, mainly due to immunosuppression. Among patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, the treatment of onychomycosis is complex, mainly due to the limitations imposed by comorbidities.
