  2. 1. How to reduce the exposure to anticoagulants when performing haemodialysis in patients with a bleeding risk : a study of methods used in clinical practise

    Abstract : When a patient suffers from kidney failure and also has an enhanced risk of bleeding, the standard haemodialysis (HD) treatment becomes a problem. When human blood comes in contact with artificial material, as in the tubing system and in the dialyser (the extra corporeal circuit, ECC), the coagulation system is activated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lipoprotein lipase activity is reduced in dialysis patients. Studies on possible causal factors

    Author : Dana Mahmood; Bernd Stegmayr; Gunilla Olivecrona; Per Ola Attman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemodialysis; lipoprotein lipase; ANGPTL3; ANGPTL4; citrate dialysate; dialyzer.; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients on chronic haemodialysis (HD). One main contributing factor is renal dyslipidaemia, characterized by an impaired catabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins with accumulation of atherogenic remnant particles. READ MORE

  5. 3. Leukocyte dysfunction and inflammatory markers in patients with chronic kidney disease and patients on dialysis

    Author : Jenny Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and patients on dialysis are at risk for serious infectious complications. This is partly due to leukocyte dysfunction, which is a consequence of both uremic retention solutes and of dialysis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Chronic kidney disease : a complex network of leukocyte dysfunction and inflammation

    Author : Ladan Mansouri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common medical condition with a prevalence of up to 13% worldwide. The insidious loss of renal function develops over time to reach end stage renal disease (ESRD) when the kidneys are unable to remove toxins and interventions such as dialysis or kidney transplantation are mandatory.

  7. 5. Glucose degradation products in patients on hemodialysis : interventional studies

    Author : Bernd Ramsauer; Bernd Stegmayr; Henrik Hadimeri; Bengt Lindholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hemodialysis; advanced glycation end products; skin autofluorescence; plasma autofluorescence; glucose degradation products;

    Abstract : Hemodialysis (HD) is the most frequently used treatment for end-stage renal disease. Despite all efforts to improve the outcomes, the mortality of patients on HD is still high, and this especially is related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). READ MORE
