Background Previous studies have demonstrated that multidisciplinary pre-dialysis
education and team care may slow the decline in renal function for chronic kidney disease (CKD). …

Vascular access malfunction, usually presenting with an inadequate access flow (Qa), is the
leading cause of morbidity and hospitalization in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Many methods …

Patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing regular dialysis are prone to encephalopathy,
but the cause is often unclear. Dialysis patients are at risk for thiamine deficiency, which …

MicroRNA-494 mediates apoptosis and necrosis in several types of cells, but its renal target
and potential role in AKI are unknown. Here, we found that microRNA-494 binds to the 3′ …

In contrast to proteins and lipids, oxidative damage to DNA has not been well studied in
patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). We hypothesized that phagocytes are activated after …

… Tarng DC, Huang TP, Chen TW: Mathematical approach for estimating iron needs in
hemodialysis patients on erythropoietin erythropoietin in a hemodialysis patient with heterozygous …

Transcriptional repressor activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is induced by various stress
stimuli, including inflammation‐induced renal injury. In addition, ATF3 also down‐regulates …

Purpose The safety and efficacy of continuous infusion vs bolus injection of intravenous loop
diuretics to treat acute decompensated heart failure were debated. Our aim is to compare …

Aim Multidisciplinary care ( MDC ) for patients with chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) may help
to optimize disease care and improve clinical outcomes. Our study aimed to evaluate the …
