Disparities Persist in Rates of Hemodialysis Vascular Access Complications
Despite declining rates of vascular access complications in the United States, Black patients remain at higher risk for them compared with White patients.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Radical Cystectomy Increases Risks for Thromboembolic Events
Swedish studies reveal significantly elevated risks for myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis.
VTE Risk Higher With Arteriovenous Grafts vs Fistulas
The increased risk for venous thromboembolism with an arteriovenous graft is one factor for clinicians and patients to consider in the choice of vascular access for hemodialysis.
Cardiovascular Events, VTE Tied to Polycythemia During Testosterone Therapy
Testosterone therapy in the absence of polycythemia was not associated with an increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events or venous thromboembolism.
Outpatient Anticoagulant Therapy May Cut COVID-19 Admission Risk
COVID-19 inpatients not on anticoagulants before or after hospitalization have increased risk for mortality
