[Long-term efficacy of parathyroidectomy in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism].

Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social
BACKGROUND: Secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT and THPT), are complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by high levels of serum parathormone, hyperphosphatemia or hypercalcemia, respectively. If diet and pharmacologic...

Machine Learning Classification for Assessing the Degree of Stenosis and Blood Flow Volume at Arteriovenous Fistulas of Hemodialysis Patients Using a New Photoplethysmography Sensor Device.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The classifier of support vector machine (SVM) learning for assessing the quality of arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) in hemodialysis (HD) patients using a new photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor device is presented in this work. In clinical practice, the...

A machine learning-based approach for predicting the outbreak of cardiovascular diseases in patients on dialysis.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with End- Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) have a unique cardiovascular risk. This study aims at predicting, with a certain precision, death and cardiovascular diseases in dialysis patients.

Generating automated kidney transplant biopsy reports combining molecular measurements with ensembles of machine learning classifiers.

American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons
We previously reported a system for assessing rejection in kidney transplant biopsies using microarray-based gene expression data, the Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx). The present study was designed to optimize the accuracy and stabilit...

An Equation Based on Fuzzy Mathematics to Assess the Timing of Haemodialysis Initiation.

Scientific reports
In order to develop an equation that integrates multiple clinical factors including signs and symptoms associated with uraemia to assess the initiation of dialysis, we conducted a retrospective cohort study including 25 haemodialysis centres in Mainl...

Radiofrequency endometrial ablation for treating heavy menstrual bleeding in women with chronic renal failure.

International journal of hyperthermia : the official journal of European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology, North American Hyperthermia Group
OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency endometrial ablation in treating heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women with chronic renal failure (CRF).

Minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure for kidney transplantation among morbidly obese: Positive outcomes at 5 years post-transplant.

Clinical transplantation
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...

Ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy in renal disorder: a clinico-electrophysiological study.

Canadian journal of ophthalmology. Journal canadien d'ophtalmologie
OBJECTIVE: To report the spectrum of ethambutol induced optic neuropathy in a group of renal patients with tuberculosis and the role of visual evoked response (VER) in evaluating this disorder.

Artificial intelligence outperforms experienced nephrologists to assess dry weight in pediatric patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany)
BACKGROUND: Dry weight is the lowest weight patients on hemodialysis can tolerate; correct dry weight estimation is necessary to minimize morbi-mortality, but is difficult to achieve. Here, we used artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of d...
