Nephron Extra. 2015 Dec 19;5(3):100-10. doi: 10.1159/000442591. eCollection 2015.

UNLABELLED: A high cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) is indicative of a cardiac disorder. However, few reports have revealed an association between the CTR and mortality in patients starting hemodialysis (HD).METHODS: Patients with HD initiation (n = 387; mean age, 66.7...

Frequent hemodialysis fistula infectious complications.

Nephron extra

Lok CE, Sontrop JM, Faratro R, Chan CT, Zimmerman DL.
PMID: 25473405
Nephron Extra. 2014 Oct 14;4(3):159-67. doi: 10.1159/000366477. eCollection 2014 Sep.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined if infectious arteriovenous access complications vary with the cannulation technique and whether this is modified by dialysis frequency. We compared the infection rate between fistulas cannulated using buttonhole versus stepladder techniques for patients treated...
