La insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) es una complicación asociada a la cirugía cardíaca con circulación extracorpórea (CEC) con impacto en la morbimortalidad. OBJETIVO: Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a IRA posquirúrgica de acuerdo a la escala pRIFLE (pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Los...
La diálisis peritoneal (DP) es la terapia de reemplazo renal más usada en niños portadores de enfermedad renal crónica terminal. La enfermedad cardiovascular es la principal causa de mortalidad en estos pacientes. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar pacientes pediátricos en DP crónica desde el punto de vista ca...
ABSTRACT Background. Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in post-liver transplantation (LT) recipients. The risk factors associated with the development of renal dysfunction are not clearly elucidated. Objectives. To examine the risk factors in the development ...
Los pacientes que reciben dosis sub-óptima de hemodiálisis tienen mayor morbimortalidad. El objetivo del trabajo fue identificar los factores predisponentes y las principales causas de diálisis inadecuada y diseñar un algoritmo para aplicar en estos casos. Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal....
Abstract Aging is a nearly universal phenomenon in biology only partially controlled by genetic endowment. Individuals and their organs age at varying rates. The kidneys manifest the aging process by steady loss of nephrons and a corresponding decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) beginning about ...
Abstract Introduction: Intra-atrial catheter (IAC) placement through an open surgical approach has emerged as a life-saving technique in hemodialysis (HD) patients with vascular access exhaustion. Objective: To assess the complications of IAC placement, as well as patient and vascular access survival a...
Abstract Background: Abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) has been found to be a strong predictor of mortality in some hemodialysis populations in studies with relatively short periods of follow-up, lower than 2 years. Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of abnormal ABI as a risk ...
Abstract: Background. Hepatitis B virus infection and chronic kidney disease are prevalent and remain a major public health problem worldwide. It remains unclear how infection with hepatitis B virus impacts on the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Aim. To evaluate the effect of inf...
Background: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) with a low prevalence but high mortality. It is characterized by peritoneal inflammation and fibrosis with subsequent development of intestinal encapsulation. It is associated with a long lapse on PD, frequ...
