ESKD, Death Risks Are High After Heart Transplantation With Kidney Dysfunction
Severe renal dysfunction and short-term dialysis are common before heart-alone transplantation, a study found.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Dialysis Modality Affects Atrial Fibrillation Risk After Kidney Transplantation
Patients receiving their first kidney transplant are at 18% higher risk for newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation if they were on hemodialysis rather than peritoneal dialysis prior to transplantation, a study found.
Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolism in Kidney Transplant Recipients Identified
Venous thromboembolism occurred in the graft in 15.4% of patients.
Kidney Transplantation Referral May be Impeded by Dialysis Providers’ Beliefs
Providers’ response to patient non-adherence was partly informed by their experiences working with patients, the training they received, and their own implicit biases, according to investigators.
AKI Subphenotypes Carry Different Risks for Major Adverse Kidney Events
Identification of AKI subphenotypes and their pathogenesis may lead to individualized therapies to prevent adverse kidney events.
Antibiotic-Related Sudden Cardiac Death Linked to Dialysis Potassium Gradient
The risks for sudden cardiac death from certain QT-prolonging antibiotics increase with steeper serum to dialysate potassium gradients.
Sodium Thiosulfate Does Not Improve Calciphylaxis in Chronic Kidney Disease
Currently, there is no approved therapy for calciphylaxis.
Rates of Hyperkalemia, Other Adverse Events Increase as CKD Progresses
Adverse events rates have been rising over time among patients receiving dialysis, investigators reported.
Stent Placement Improves AVF Patency After Stenosis
A covered stent appears to be a safe alternative to angioplasty alone for AVF stenosis, according to investigators.
Conservative Kidney Management Often a Better Option for Older Adults With ESKD
In many cases, older patients with end-stage kidney disease would be better off with conservative kidney management focused on enhancing quality of life rather than going on dialysis.
