This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chewing xylitol gum on thirst, dry mouth and nausea in patients undergoing haemodialysis.Patients undergoing haemodialysis often experience thirst, dry mouth and nausea.This was a prospective, non-randomized experimental study involving a control group. The study was carried out with patients undergoing haemodialysis in a private dialysis centre in the northeast of Turkey between July and December 2018. It was completed with a total of 75 patients assigned to the gum group (n=25), mouth spray group (n=25), and control group (n=25).The patients in the gum group chewed xylitol gum for 10 minutes, five times a day for six weeks. Patients in the mouth spray group used two puffs of mouth spray three times a day. No intervention was made in the control group. Data were collected with the Patient Information Form, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Visual Analogue Scale, Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching, graduated tube, and pH meter. Data were evaluated with Mann-Whitney U, Pearson Chi-square, Kruskal Wallis and Friedman tests. TREND checklist for non-randomised controlled trials was followed.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of mindfulness meditation on trait mindfulness, perceived stress, emotion regulation, and quality of life in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Method: An experimental repeated measures design was used among a sample of 74 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at a dialysis center at Jahra hospital, Kuwait. The patients were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=37) and control groups (n=37). The experimental group participated in 30-minute mindfulness meditation sessions (three sessions a week for five weeks) held during their hemodialysis sessions. The dependent variables of both groups were measured at baseline, middle of intervention, and end of intervention using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36) questionnaire.
The objective of this study was to verify the clinical non-inferiority of the pharmacodynamic effects and the safety of use of the drug Heptar® manufactured by Eurofarma Laboratory, compared to the drug Liquemine®, manufactured by by Roche Laboratory in patients with renal failure undergoing hemodialysis treatment
Determination of the hemodialysis ultrafiltration volume is guided by the clinician's estimate of dry weight. A poor estimate of this dry weight may result in insufficient fluid depletion causing a state of volume overload, which may be associated with long-term left ventricular failure, high blood pressure and excess of mortality. The diagnosis of fluid overload in haemodialysis patient is routinely based on clinical examination which consists of cardiopulmonary auscultation and edema palpation of limb member. Clinical examination can be completed by paraclinical examinations, and bioimpedance is an objective tool that assess fluid overload state. This test provides an individualized hydration status and fluid overload based on normal extracellular volume considering body composition. Echocardiography allows an accurate assessment of blood volume status by simultaneous studying left ventricular filling pressures, systolic pulmonary artery pressure and the diameter of the inferior vena cava. Lung ultrasound analyses the B-lines defined as artefactual images resulting from contact between air in "alveoli" and water in "septa". It can estimate pulmonary congestion. The aim of the study is to evaluate the lung ultrasound using "8 sites" score accuracy for estimating fluid overload of patients before hemodialysis session.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with criteria for renal replacement therapy (RRT) including uremic syndrome, have a stable state of hyperosmolarity due to urea despite not being an osmotically inactive ion. Also, these patients have alterations in urea transporters in the central nervous system (CNS) conferring a risk of neurological involvement due to an abrupt decrease in serum urea causing manifestations of the post-dialytic syndrome. Hemodialysis results in rapid removal of urea from the blood, much faster than the equilibrium rate between the brain and the bloodstream through the blood-brain barrier, resulting in an osmotic gradient that favors movement from water to the brain, causing cerebral edema, intracranial hypertension and dialysis-associated imbalance syndrome. Conventional hemodialysis (HD) uses diffusion and primarily decreases small solutes, while hemofiltration (HF) is based on convection that provides clearance mainly of medium-size molecules and small solutes with a slower rate of reduction.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and serious disease in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Untreated AF increases the risk of deaths related to cardiovascular events and multiplies the risk of strokes by 5. Anticoagulation with warfarin significantly reduces the incidence of ischemic strokes in the general population, has a long half-life, and a narrow therapeutic index that requires periodic monitoring. In addition, warfarin treatment is a frequent cause of hospital admission for iatrogenesis. In HD patients, the relationship between stroke prevention benefit and bleeding risk is an unmet medical need. It should be noted that in these patients the risk of bleeding is multiplied by 3 to 10 times compared to the general population. The new direct-acting oral anticoagulants (NACOs), thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran), and activated factor X inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban), do not require regular monitoring, but their plasma concentrations are altered with the deterioration of the renal function. According to its technical data sheets, they do not recommend its use in clinical practice for HD patients. However, the apixaban data sheet includes the results of a pilot clinical trial in the African American population on HD, suggesting that it is a safe anticoagulant drug. The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and short-term safety (4 weeks) of apixaban in the Spanish population with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and on hemodialysis. Long-term safety will be assessed in the extension study: prospective cohort study of patients included in the clinical trial. Therefore, this project is comprised of 2 clinical studies (one clinical trial and one extension study) whose objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and short and long-term safety of apixaban in patients on hemodialysis and with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (FANV). The results of this project (clinical trial and extension study) will provide evidence on whether apixaban may be the anticoagulant treatment of choice for this type of patient.
Vaccination against SARS-Cov2 is a necessity for haemodialysis patients because difficulties to maintain a self-isolation (leading to a higher contamination than general population) and an increase of mortality in case of contamination (more than 20% of mortality in this population). However, vaccine efficiency is known to be decreased in haemodialysis patients. This lead critical the rapid description of immunogenicity of anti SARS-Cov2 vaccine in haemodialysis patients. The aim of this study is to describe the immunogenicity of the BTN162b2 SARS-Cov2 vaccine in haemodialysis patients.
Chronic Renal Failure (CRF); The result of a decrease in the glomerular filtration value is defined as a chronic and progressive deterioration in the fluid-solute balance of the kidney and metabolic-endocrine functions. Treatment is kidney transplant or dialysis. CRF affects 10-15% of adults worldwide. CRF rate in the general adult population in Turkey is 15.7%. According to the data of the Turkish Nephrology Association, renal replacement therapy (RRT) is applied to a total of 77,311 patients in our country by the end of 2017. The most common (76%) applied RRT type is hemodialysis treatment. In individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment, nausea-vomiting, weakness, fatigue, itching, fluid-solute imbalances, hypotension and pain can be seen due to uremia. This situation reduces the functionality of the patient and the limitation of physical activities brings physical and psycho-social effects with it. The dependence of the individual on the dialysis machine, the healthcare team and the family in treatment programs that last three days a week, on average four hours a day, affects the personal lives of the patients. It can be said that nursing care and education are of great importance in resolving the existing or potential problems of patients who are dependent on hemodialysis as a result of CRF, and in adapting patients to life with their disease. It is the nursing theories that will guide these attempts of nurses. Because nursing theories interpret and define the profession; thus helping nurses in training, practice and research activities as a professional. Nursing Model of Roper, Logan-Tierney (RLT), one of the important theories of nursing, is based on the life model. In this model, the main purpose of nursing is to ensure that people are informed so that they can lead a quality and healthy life. This model, which can be integrated into all service areas of the health care system and handles individual-centered care with a humanistic and holistic approach, supports the participation of the individual in care. It is predicted that the patient education program created using the Nursing Model of RLT will support the increase of the independence levels and self-care abilities of individuals who receive hemodialysis treatment.
In the course of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) uncontrolled inflammation has been related to disease severity and unfavorable outcomes. Here, the investigators study the longitudinal changes of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers in a population of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) affected by COVID-19, evaluating the potential modulating effects of two different dialysis approaches
