Background: A number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to advanced knee joint osteoarthritis. There are few studies describing the incidence, morbidities, mortality rate, and cost analysis regarding ESRD patients receiving TKA.

Methods: We retrospectively retrieved patient data from National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan during 2005-2011, and evaluated the outcomes of TKA in patients with (ESRD group) and without ESRD (non-ESRD group). Patients' demographic data, comorbidities, mortality, and in-hospital cost were recorded.

Results: A total of 578 TKAs and 110,895 TKAs were identified in the ESRD and non-ESRD group, respectively. The incidence of patients receiving TKA was higher in the ESRD than in non-ESRD group by at least 2 folds. The ESRD group showed significantly more medical complications (pneumonia, peptic ulcer disease, and acute myocardial infarction) after surgery. In prosthesis-related complications, the ESRD group also had more periprosthetic joint infections, and prosthetic loosenings by one year. The one-year mortality rate was more than 6 times higher in the ESRD than in the non-ESRD group. The ESRD group had higher in-hospital medical expense than the non-ESRD group, especially when there were complications, even when the dialysis-related costs were exempted.

Conclusion: The complication rate, mortality rate, and cost were higher in the ESRD patients receiving TKA. When considering TKA in ESRD patients, it is crucial to weigh the risks against benefits of TKA, and have a thorough discussion with the patients.

Introduction: Bone turnover markers reflected the bone remodeling process and bone health in clinical studies. Studies on variation of bone remodeling markers in different stage CKD were scant, and this study investigated the role of bedside intradialytic cycling in altering concentrations of bone-remodeling markers in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Materials And Methods: Participants were segmented into four groups: a group with eGFR >60 ml/min/1.

Background: End stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis (HD) increases mortality among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcome of ICH patients with ESRD on HD versus propensity-score matched controls.

Methods: This is a single center retrospective study.

Introduction: The role of complement system in late stage of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remains unknown. We therefore investigated the effects of complement system on worsening kidney function in advanced (stage 4 CKD) IgAN.

Methods: Renal specimens of 69 IgAN patients who underwent renal biopsy during stage 4 CKD between 2010 and 2021, were stained using immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for glomerular complement components.

Evaluation of complications in patients with mandible fractures undergoing chronic kidney disease in the United States.

Background: This research aims to assess the demographic characteristics, prevalence, outcomes, and complications in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients following mandible fractures in the United States using a nationally representative database.

Methods: We analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample from 2010 to 2019 in the United States. Patients with mandible fractures were categorized into three groups based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revisions (ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM): end-stage renal disease (ESRD), non-ESRD CKD, and healthy kidney function.

Article Synopsis
  • IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), with complement system activation playing a crucial role in its progression.
  • A study on 75 patients revealed that lower eGFR and glomerular C3 deposition are significant predictors of progression to ESRD over a median follow-up of 15 months.
  • Moreover, higher levels of complement components C3a, C3aR, C5a, and C5aR were found in ESRD patients, indicating their potential link to faster kidney function decline in advanced CKD stages.
