Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) independently predicts greater mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients, Israeli researchers report.
Hip-Fracture-Related Death Linked to CKD in the Elderly
Jody A. Charnow
June 18, 2009
Among older individuals, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 is associated with a nearly twofold increased risk of hip-fracture-related mortality, according to British researchers.
Intermittent Hormonal Therapy for PCa May Have Benefits
Jody A. Charnow
June 18, 2009
Intermittent hormonal therapy (IHT) for men with locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer is associated with no reduction in disease progression or survival, according to a European study.
Fatal Infections Probed in Pediatric LN Patients
Jody A. Charnow
May 07, 2009
Prior history of treatment with pulse methylprednisolone may increase the risk of fatal infection in pediatric lupus nephritis (LN) patients treated with IV cyclophosphamide (IVCY), researchers reported.
Pulse Pressure, Death Risk Linked in PD Patients
Jody A. Charnow
May 07, 2009
Elevated pulse pressure is associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), according to a Canadian study.
CRP May Predict Survival in Metastatic RCC Patients
Jody A. Charnow
May 07, 2009
Pretreatment C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can be a prognostic marker for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a Japanese study suggests.
Sudden Death Risk Factors in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients Identified
Jody A. Charnow
April 02, 2009
Recent blood transfusions, male gender, and diabetes mellitus are independently associated with an increased risk of sudden death in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), a Chinese study concluded.
