INTRODUCTION: Use of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) prediction models for guiding arteriovenous fistula (AVF) referrals in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. We aimed to compare a hypothetical approach using a KRT prediction model de...
RATIONALE: Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a highly corrosive agent and can cause corrosive burns. HF can penetrate deeply into tissues through intact skin and the lipid barrier, leading to painful liquefactive necrosis, and inducing hypocalcemia and hypom...
OBJECTIVE:: To determine the factors that influence the decision to transfer children in septic shock from level II to level I pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) care.
This study investigated differences between the clinical trajectories of diabetic nephropathy and nephrosclerosis using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) heat map and the clinical characteristics between the two diseases at RRT in...
BACKGROUND: Accurately identifying cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) from primary care data facilitates the management of patients, and is vital for surveillance and research purposes. Ontologies provide a systematic and transparent basis for cli...
Starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at an optimal time, either with hemodialysis or kidney transplantation, is crucial for patient's well-being and for successful management of the condition. In thi...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates hospital admission, especially in the ICU or after major surgery, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The risk of developing AKI depends on the presence of preexisti...
