Chronic renal failure is an expanding and complex problem in Mexico. This work analyzes its current situation and finds a clear imbalance between supply and demand for specialized services, that favors the latter. To explain said imbalance, it invokes four factors: the recent innovation in nephrology and parallel disciplines; educational deficit of medical schools; high costs of rehabilitation of the uremic patient, and the absence of specifically designed mechanisms for financing the treatment of this disease.

Exit-site infections (ESIs) of peritoneal dialysis catheters can cause serious complications if not promptly treated. Uncommon pathogens like are infrequently associated with these infections. We report a 26-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease due to Alport syndrome, presenting with recurrent purulent discharge and erythema at the Tenckhoff catheter exit site.

The increasing age of patients with end-stage renal disease raises the issue of hostile arterial access for transplantation, with technical difficulties associated with clamping and suturing the iliac artery. Some of these patients - who theoretically represent those who would benefit the most from transplantation in terms of mortality - are contraindicated because of anatomical and medical issues. In this context, a specific endovascular device called EndoPreKiT (Endovascular Preparation for Kidney Transplantation) has been designed, enabling arterial access for transplantation via a mini-invasive procedure.

Background: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic liver disease (CLD). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess and compare the prevalence of SIBO among CLD patients (with and without with complications of end stage liver disease) and healthy controls.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched from inception up to July-2024 for case-control studies reporting SIBO in CLD.

Knee arthritis is a common degenerative joint disease, usually with joint swelling, chronic pain, and dysfunction as the main clinical manifestations. At present, the conservative treatment for knee arthritis is mostly using anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, but the effect is mostly temporary, and can not prevent its progress and surgery is usually the last treatment method. Total knee arthroplasty, also known as TKA, is one of the most effective treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee that has progressed to the end stage.

Background: Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is common in end-stage kidney disease and resolves in less than half of kidney transplant (KT) recipients. The ideal timing of parathyroidectomy (PTX), before or after KT, remains unclear. We sought to understand differences in morbidity and mortality after PTX pre-KT and post-KT.
