Abstract:

Malnutrition is present in up to 48% of chronic kidney disease patients on the initiation of renal replacement therapy (dialysis)1. At this time, malnutrition is an independent and significant predictor of morbidity and mortality2. As a consequence of progressive deterioration in kidney function, symptoms of decreased appetite and reduced intake are common factors leading to the decline in nutritional status3. However, at present there is little evidence to inform nutrition assessment and intervention for pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this study was to provide evide

Abstract:

The internal and external surfaces of dialysis hollow fiber membranes were characterized by the combination of two techniques, e.g. contact angle measurement (CAM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), aiming at the improvement of membrane biocompatibility. A number of surface properties including surface energy, roughness, pore size, and nodule size were evaluated. CAM studies were carried out by observing the liquid meniscus at the surfaces of hollow fibers. An imaging system equipped with a goniometer protractor and a video camera was developed for this purpose. AFM studies were also conducted

Abstract:

The treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) by dialysis and transplantation (renal replacement therapy - RRT) imposes major social and economic burdens on the patient, the family and society. Data obtained from 2 Scottish and 4 European renal units indicate that non-renal comorbid illness significantly increased patient mortality. Furthermore, application of a simple risk stratification method based on age and comorbidity divided patients into groups which carried different survival rates. Multivariate analysis showed that even after adjustment for comorbidity and age, an apparent "centre

Abstract:

Involving patients in medical decisions by acknowledging patients personal values and individual preferences has become an important goal of providing ethical medical care. Despite a general movement towards a model of shared decision-making, many patients do not fully meet their preferred role in practice. The decision whether or not to accept a kidney once it is offered to a patient awaiting transplant has historically been made predominantly by the transplant surgeon with little involvement from the patient. Because dialysis can provide long-term renal replacement, declining a kidney is a v

Abstract:

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) now ranks as the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent worldwide. Patients on dialysis are particularly vulnerable to TB infection due to immune dysfunction. Despite this, there is a paucity of incidence data on TB in dialysis patients in high burden settings such as South Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of TB in chronic kidney disease stage 5 patients on dialysis (CKD-5D) at a single centre in the Eastern Cape, South Africa and to identify risk factors associated with TB infection.

These limitations in the current technology have spurred the development of a portable renal replacement system. The portable system will not only free the patients from visiting the clinic but also allow more frequent treatment that will lead to lower average waste level.

Abstract:

RESUMO: A presente dissertação para tese de doutoramento apresenta o desenvolvimento e a validação de um método simples e original para o diagnóstico de calcificações vasculares em doentes em diálise, utilizando um score semiquantitativo criado por nós e obtido em RX simples da bacia e das mãos, denominado score de calcifi cação vascular simples.
