OBJECTIVE: Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients often suffer from sarcopenia, affecting lower limb muscle strength and increasing the risk of falls and mortality. This study aims to develop an auxiliary screening model for sarcopenia in MHD patien...
BACKGROUND: Patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing dialysis face significant physical, psychological, and social challenges that impact their quality of life. Social media platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) have become importa...
BACKGROUND: Maintenance hemodialysis patients experience high morbidity and mortality, primarily from cardiovascular and infectious diseases. It was discovered recently that low arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) is associated with a pro-inflammatory p...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) is common in dialysis patients and associated with increased cardiovascular risk. However, early screening has been limited by cost concerns. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning mo...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula stenosis is a common complication in hemodialysis patients, yet effective predictive tools are lacking. This study aims to develop an interpretable machine learning model for stenosis risk prediction.
OBJECTIVE: Blood pressure fluctuations during dialysis, including intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and intradialytic hypertension (IDHTN), are common complications among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Early prediction of IDH and IDHTN c...
Membrane incompatibility poses significant health risks, including severe complications and potential fatality. Surface modification of membranes has emerged as a pivotal technology in the membrane industry, aiming to improve the hemocompatibility an...
This study aimed to develop a real-time, noninvasive hyperkalemia monitoring system for dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. Hyperkalemia, common in dialysis patients, can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias or sudden death if untreated. T...
The Arteriovenous Access Stage (AVAS) classification simplifies information about suitability of vessels for vascular access (VA). It's been previously validated in a clinical study. Here, AVAS performance was tested against multiple ultrasound mappi...
Elderly patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) face a heightened risk of cognitive frailty (CF), which significantly compromises quality of life. Early identification of at-risk individuals and timely intervention are essential. Neverthel...
