Objectives: We analyzed the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytomas in hemodialysis compared with nonhemodialysis patients.
Methods: Fifty-seven patients (7 hemodialysis and 50 nonhemodialysis) were included in the study. We analyzed the differences in clinical parameters and outcomes between the hemodialysis patient groups and nonhemodialysis patient groups as well as identified predictors for an intraoperative hypertensive spike.
Results: The increasing intravascular volume before surgery in hemodialysis patients made perioperative hemodynamic management safer. No significant difference in clinical parameters between the two groups was observed except for the length of hospitalization that was significantly longer in the hemodialysis patients (9 vs. 6 days, =0.005). An increase in systolic blood pressure at CO insufflation was an independent predictor of a hypertensive spike with a cutoff value of 22.5 mmHg (odds ratio 1.038, 95% confidence interval 1.012-1.078).
Conclusion: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytomas in hemodialysis was safe and feasible. An increase in systolic blood pressure at CO insufflation was a predictor of the intraoperative hypertensive spike. The research in this manuscript is not registered. This is a retrospective study.

Background: Calcification of the radial artery is one of the main causes of anastomotic stenosis in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in uremic patients. However, the pathogenesis of calcification is still unknown. This study attempted to screen and validate the risk factors for vascular calcification in patients with uremia.

The case report presents a male patient in his mid-60s with a history of hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic kidney disease (CKD). He presented with gradually increasing serum creatinine levels and hyperglobulinemia, leading to suspicion of multiple myeloma. However, subsequent testing revealed features consistent with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD).

Background And Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted greatest among patients with pre-existing chronic health conditions, including chronic kidney disease. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the 30-day mortality of patients receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT) after infection with COVID-19, living in Australia and New Zealand between 2020 and 2022, including patients on haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) and renal transplant (KT) recipients.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using data from the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA).
