   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atorvastatin; cholesterol; chronic kidney disease; haemodialysis; cholesterol; lipids; peritoneal dialysis; risk factors; statins; inter dialysis weight gain;

   Abstract : Background and aim: There had been no randomized end-point studies with statins for patients with severe renal failure. The purpose of this prospective, open, randomized, controlled study was to investigate whether atorvastatin (10 mg/day) would alter cardiovascular end-points and the overall mortality rate of patients with chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 (creatinine clearanceMaterial & Methods: This was an open, prospective, randomized study.

5. 3. Impact of peritoneal solute transport rate on nutritional status and clinical outcome in peritoneal dialysis patients

   Author : Sung Hee Chung; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adequacy of dialysis; comorbid diseases; fluid removal; inflammation; mortality; malnutrition; peritoneal dialysis; peritoneal solute transport rate; residual renal function.;

   Abstract : The transport characteristics of the peritoneal membrane may be influenced by inflammation and various comorbid diseases (CMD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. On the other hand, the peritoneal solute transport rate (PSTR) may influence patient characteristics such as nutritional status as well as the clinical outcome of PD patients. READ MORE

6. 4. Consequences of kidney dysfunction in the community : health care-based epidemiological studies from the Stockholm creatinine measurements (scream) project

   Author : Björn Runesson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is affecting an increasing share of the world’s population, and presents a global health problem. The prevalence of CKD in society and its implication for various health outcomes have been difficult to assess due to unawareness and underuse of clinical diagnoses for CKD in clinical practice.
