Identifying key predictors of mortality in young patients on chronic haemodialysis-a machine learning approach.

Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association
BACKGROUND: The mortality risk remains significant in paediatric and adult patients on chronic haemodialysis (HD) treatment. We aimed to identify factors associated with mortality in patients who started HD as children and continued HD as adults.

Bariatric surgery and hemodialysis: A case report of a patient with less 40 kilograms and without dialysis.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Obesity is an important risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Bariatric surgery (BS) may improve long-term kidney outcomes, but there is no agreement regarding the benefit and timing of BS in patients with end-stage renal disease. We present a 46-y...

Surgical management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients in Senegal.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of end-stage renal disease. Surgical management occurs in severe forms and/or unresponsive medical treatment. The aim of this study was to outline the indications of parathyroidectomy and ...

End-stage renal disease at dialysis initiation: Epidemiology and mortality risks during the first year of hemodialysis.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated by hemodialysis (HD) is a worldwide major public health problem. Its incidence is getting higher and higher, leading to an alarming social and economic impact. The survival of these patients is significantly low, ...

Prediction of all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients using a Bayesian network.

Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association
BACKGROUND: All-cause mortality in haemodialysis (HD) is high, reaching 15.6% in the first year according to the European Renal Association.

Automatic Extraction of Risk Factors for Dialysis Patients from Clinical Notes Using Natural Language Processing Techniques.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Studies have shown that mental health and comorbidities such as dementia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are risk factors for dialysis patients. Extracting accurate and timely information associated with these risk factors in the patient health...

Wearable health devices and personal area networks: can they improve outcomes in haemodialysis patients?

Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association
Digitization of healthcare will be a major innovation driver in the coming decade. Also, enabled by technological advancements and electronics miniaturization, wearable health device (WHD) applications are expected to grow exponentially. This, in tur...

Considerations for advancing nephrology research and practice through natural language processing.

Kidney international
Much of medical data is buried in the free text of clinical notes and not captured by structured data, such as administrative codes. Natural language processing (NLP) can locate and use information that resides in unstructured free text. Chan et al. ...

Prediction of Clinical Events in Hemodialysis Patients Using an Artificial Neural Network.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires routine renal replacement therapy (RRT) that involves hemodialysis (HD) which may cause increased risk of muscle spasms, cardiovascular events, and death. We used Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method t...

Efficacy of eculizumab in an adult patient with HIV-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome: A case report.

Medicine
INTRODUCTION: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive patients has become a rare cause of kidney injury since the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Plasma exchange and antiretroviral therapy w...
