Elevation of Platelet and Monocyte Activity Markers of Atherosclerosis in Haemodialysis Patients Compared to Peritoneal Dialysis Patients by Ksenija Stach, Susanne Karb, Ibrahim Akin, Martin Borggrefe, Bernhard Krämer, Thorsten Kälsch, Anna-Isabelle Kälsch

“…In PD patients, a significant correlation between Kt/V and platelet CD40L expression (r=0.867; 0.001) and between Kt/V and platelet CD62P expression (r=0.686; p=0.028) was observed, while there was no significant correlation between Kt/V and tissue factor binding on monocytes and platelet-monocyte aggregates, respectively. …”

Correlation between ultrafiltration rate and hemoglobin level and erythropoietin response in hemodialysis patients by Li Cui, Lili Zhang, Jing Li, Yuan Li, Xiaolei Hao, Yan Xu, Chunmei Li

“…The UFR > 13 ml/h/kg group had the highest SpKt/V (p < 0.05), monthly EPO dose/weight (p < 0.001), and EPO resistance index (p < 0.001), as well as the lowest dry weight (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.001), hemoglobin (p < 0.001), hematocrit (p < 0.05), and red blood cell count (p < 0.05). …”

Comparison of citrate dialysate in pre- and post-dilution online hemodiafiltration: effect on clot formation and adequacy of dialysis in hemodialysis patients by Pasu Nakornchai, Arisara Jitraree, Monpinya Charttong Homjan, Thanachit Laykhram, Thananda Trakarnvanich

“…Adequacy of dialysis, laboratory parameters, and quality of life were measured as secondary objectives.Results The mean clotting scores in the pre-dilution mode were significantly lower than those in the post-dilution mode and in all phases except the heparin-free phase (p < 0.001 in the baseline phase, p = 0.001 in phase 1, and p = 0.023 in phase 2). The values of Kt/V in both modalities were comparable except during the baseline phase, in which the values of pre-dilution were significantly greater than post-dilution (2.36 ± 0.52/week vs. 1.87 ± 0.33/week;95% CI −0.81 to −0.19, p = 0.002). …”

Relationship between effective blood flow rate and clinical outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a single-center study by Zhoucang Zhang, Jiarui Li, Jiaxiang Ding, Shenglei Zhang, Mei Wang, Jinsheng Xu

“…After adjusting for relevant factors including age, sex, vintage, diabetes, CVD, receiving hemodiafiltration (HDF) treatment and spKt/V, Cox models indicated a low time-averaged eBFR (≤ 275 ml/min) was associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 14.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.14–64.1) and new MACE (HR 3.76; 95% CI, 1.91–7.40) in MHD patients. …”

Prognosis and factors related to severe secondary hyperparathyroidism in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients by Yanmei Li, Xiaonan Feng, Na Chen, Shuhua Song, Min Yu, Yan Wang, Hongxia Zhang, Li Wang, Menghua Chen, Na Tian

“…After adjusting for confounding factors, higher (each 100-pg/mL increase) baseline PTH levels (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.206–1.649, p < .001), longer (each 1-year increase) dialysis vintages (95% CI 1.013–1.060, p = .002), higher concomitant diabetes rates (95% CI 1.375–10.374, p = .010), and lower (each 1-absolute unit decrease) Kt/V values (95% CI 0.859–0.984, p = .015) were independent risk factors for progression to sSHPT in patients on PD. …”
