   Keywords : Medical sciences; Coping; health-related quality of life; perceived consequences; perceived efficiency; BSRD patients; spouses; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

   Abstract : The general aim was to study use and efficiency of coping strategies to handle problems occasioned by illness and treatment among three groups of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (n=86) and their spouses (n=55). A sample of the Swedish population (n=519) was studied as a reference. READ MORE

4. 2. Gastrointestinal symptoms in chronic renal failure. Prevalence and pathophysiological mechanisms

   Abstract : Chronic renal failure (CRF) has a varying etiology and is characterised by an increasing accumulation of toxic metabolic waste products in the blood. Malnutrition is a common finding in uraemic patients and is regarded as a marker for morbidity and mortality. Many factors, including gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, lead to malnutrition in CRF.

6. 4. Urinary diversion by the Kock ileal reservoir. Studies on clinical outcome, quality of life, bile acid and vitamin B12 metabolism

   Author : Gunnar Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kock reservoir; urinary diversion; quality of life; bile acids; vitamin B12;

   Abstract : Introduction: Urinary diversion with the Kock ileal reservoir has been performed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital since 1975. One key question is the long-term consequences regarding glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and quality of life of this kind of surgery. Other important topics are the consequences due to loss of ileum. READ MORE

7. 5. The cardiorenal syndrome: Structural and functional aspects including associations with the shrunken pore syndrome

   Author : Liana Xhakollari; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []

   Abstract : Mild to moderate renal impairment affects 10% of the general population. Renal impairment is difficult to detect because of the lack of symptoms, but it can be estimated by calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on the basis of plasma creatinine and/or cystatin C concentrations.
