We investigated whether the management condition of patients during dialysis therapy has an influence on the occurrence of complications after renal transplantation. Thirty-one patients who underwent renal transplantation were investigated: thirteen received kidneys from living related donors and 18 received cadaveric transplants. The relations between weight gain ratio, cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) and blood pressure during dialysis and the rate of episodes of acute rejection or infection after renal transplantation were analyzed. The rate of acute rejection tended to be higher among patients whose CTR was less than 45% than in those whose CTR was 45% or more. There was no relation found between the rate of infection after transplantation and weight gain ratio. CTR, or blood pressure during dialysis therapy. These results suggest the possibility that the management condition of patients during dialysis therapy influences the rate of acute rejection after these patients undergo renal transplantation.

Assessing the Value of Further Investment in R&D Using Mixed Methods: A Case Study of Biosensor-Integrated Arteriovenous Grafts.

This study illustrates the utility of a mixed-methods approach in assessing the value of an example novel technology-biosensor-integrated self-reporting arteriovenous grafts (smart AVGs). Currently in preclinical development, the device will detect arteriovenous graft stenosis (surveillance-only use case) and treat stenosis (interventional use case). The approach to value assessment adopted in this study was multifaceted, with one stage informing the next and comprised a stakeholder engagement with clinical experts to explore the device's clinical value, a cost-utility analysis (CUA) from a US Medicare perspective to estimate pricing headroom, and an investment model estimating risk-adjusted net present value analysis (rNPVs) to determine commercial viability.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a recognized risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Unfortunately, the number of patients with both CKD and dementia has been steadily increasing with the aging patient population. Therapeutic management and clinical decision-making become more challenging in patients with dementia who often experience worsening prognoses, highlighting the urgency of developing effective countermeasures.

Background: The theophylline toxidrome presents with multisystemic involvement that includes cardiovascular, neurologic, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal manifestations. Considering such a varied spectrum of presentations, it is often difficult to ascertain the diagnosis of this particular toxidrome. Review of home medications is an important step when working with a patient presenting as a toxidrome.

Background: Vascular calcification is common and progressive in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the risk factors associated with the progression of vascular calcification in patients receiving maintenance dialysis have not been fully elucidated. Here, we aimed to evaluate vascular calcification and identify the factors associated with its progression in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
