Anemia is commonly present in hemodialysis (HD) patients and significantly affects their survival and quality of life. NIR spectroscopy and machine learning were used as a method to detect anemia in hemodialysis patients. The aim of this investigation has been to evaluate the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a method for non-invasive on-line detection of anemia parameters from HD effluent by assessing the correlation between the spectrum of spent dialysate in the wavelength range of 700-1700 nm and the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit (Hct), iron (Fe), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin (FER), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in patient blood. The obtained correlation coefficient (R) for RBC was 0.93, for Hb 0.92, for Fe 0.94, for TIBC 0.96, for FER 0.91, for Hct 0.94, for MCV 0.92, for MCHC 0.92 and for MCH 0.93. The observed high correlations between the NIR spectrum of the dialysate fluid and the levels of the studied variables support the use of NIRS as a promising method for on-line monitoring of anemia and iron saturation parameters in HD patients.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury involves inflammation and intrinsic renal damage, and is a common complication of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) confers an increased mortality risk. We determined the renal long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with baseline CKD, and the risk factors prompting renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation and mortality.

Department of Nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 58th, Zhongshan Road II, Guangzhou, 510080, Guangdong, PR China.

Background: The high prevalence and prolonged duration of inflow pain and drain pain experienced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients following PD catheter implantation impact their quality of life. However, there is limited data on the frequency and predisposing factors of these pains in the Chinese population undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Methods: This study encompassed individuals who underwent peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation at our institution from September 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

Background: Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), a subtype of acute mesenteric ischemia, is primarily caused by mesenteric arterial vasoconstriction and decreased vascular resistance, leading to impaired intestinal perfusion.Commonly observed after cardiac surgery, NOMI affects older patients with cardiovascular or systemic diseases, accounting for 20-30% of acute mesenteric ischemia cases with a mortality rate of ∼50%. This review explores NOMI's pathophysiology, clinical implications in aortic dissection, and the unmet needs in diagnosis and management, emphasizing its prognostic significance.

Rationale & Objective: Sharing Patient's Illness Representations to Increase Trust (SPIRIT) is an evidence-based advance care planning intervention targeting dialysis patients and their surrogate decision-makers. To address SPIRIT's implementation potential, we report on a process evaluation in our recently completed five-state cluster-randomized trial.

Study Design: A descriptive study of implementation within a randomized clinical trial.
