Researchers examined the association between gout and odds of being wait-listed for a kidney transplant among patients on HD. Freely Filtered returns with another episode for NephMadness, this time, covering the hemodialysis region. What were the effects of moving calcimimetics from the TDAPA to an increased bundled payment? Research examined the role of serum phosphate in CKD-associated pruritus and the efficacy of treatment with difelikefalin. The WRAPSODY stent may help restore circuit patency when stenosis or occlusion occurs within the AVG or AVF for hemodialysis. A study identified modifiable dialysis-related factors associated with fatigue and dialysis recovery time. A study examined the impact of hemodiafiltration versus hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. The FDA granted Breakthrough Device Designation to a device to treat chronic systemic inflammation in hemodialysis patients. Could the use of potassium binder SZC with dialysate potassium reduce postdialysis heart arrhythmias? The accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring versus self-monitored blood glucose in hemodialysis patients is not well known. A trial assessed an acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) compared to autologous arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis. The FDA gave 510(k) clearance for use of the Quanta Dialysis System for hemodialysis in the home setting. Recent research reveals tolvaptan’s role in reducing hemodialysis initiation risk in ADPKD, A late-breaking abstract at Kidney Week will report on a phase 3 trial of the ATEV in AV access for patients with ESRD. Can GLIM diagnose overnutrition and overnutrition in hemodialysis patients, and how does it compare with SGA? Dr. Michael Aragon of Outset Medical discusses the transition of patients from peritoneal dialysis to home hemodialysis. A study explored the relationship between intake of dietary fiber and hyperkalemia in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Predictive models for near-term mortality and long-term survival on maintenance hemodialysis are needed. Diality's Moda-flx flexible hemodialysis system has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration. Why do patients drop out of peritoneal dialysis after switching from hemodialysis and how does it affect mortality?
