    Nyckelord :Elderly; Nursing Homes; Heart Failure; MNA; Nutritional Status; Malnutrition; Renal function; CKD stages; General Practitioners; Qualitative study;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Elderly people living in nursing homes (NHs) have multiple diseases as well as risk factors that may complicate optimal medication. Malnutrition and impaired renal function are two of those risk factors. Heart failure is common and may often not be treated or diagnosed adequately in elderly patients. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Living with chronic kidney disease : perceptions of illness and health-related quality of life

    Författare :Agneta Pagels; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Chronic kidney disease;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises two studies concerning illness perceptions and perceived health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The overall aim was to evaluate psychometric properties of a Swedish translation of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) (study I), and furthermore to explore illness perceptions (study I) and HRQoL (study II) in adult patients in different stages of renal insufficiency (CKD stages 2-5).

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The inflammatory state of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to increased susceptibility to infections and cardiovascular complications.

  5. 4. Impact of chronic kidney disease on the cardiovascular system : studies in non-dialysis patients and healthy people

    Författare :Anna Asp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiac and arterial remodeling and stiffening occur in end-stage renal disease. The presence of cardiovascular (CV) alterations in earlier-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is less well studied. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Aerobic exercise capacity in chronic kidney disease

    Författare :Helena Wallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Aerobic exercise capacity is impaired in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is associated with increased mortality and reduced quality of life. The mechanisms underlying reduced exercise capacity in CKD are complex and a comprehensive understanding is lacking, particularly in non-dialysis dependent CKD. LÄS MER
