  1. 1. Hyperparathyroidism and parathyroidectomy in patients on renal replacement therapy

    Författare :Kerstin Ivarsson; Njurmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Secondary hyperparathyroidism; End-stage renal disease; Parathyroidectomy; New-onset diabetes after transplantation; Maintenance dialysis; Renal transplantation; Survival; Cardiovascular event; Hip fracture;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is characterized by over function of the parathyroid glands and disturbances in mineral metabolism as a result of renal failure. It is common among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and it often persists after successful renal transplantation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fluid state and blood pressure control in patients on maintenance hemodialysis

    Författare :Krassimir S Katzarski; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :chronic renal failure; hemodialysis; blood pressure; hypertension; fluid state; extracellular volume; blood volume; dry weight;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of high mortality in dialysis patients. Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and despite the use of highly efficient antihypertensive drugs (AHD), blood pressure (BP) is poorly controlled in the vast majority of hemodialysis (HD) patients.

  4. 3. Health-related quality of life and patient education in a group of uremic patients

    Författare :Birgitta Klang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :chronic renal failure; coping; emotional slatus; functional status; health; health-related quality of life; nursing; patient education; predialysis patients; sense of coherence; support; uremic symptoms.;

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this thesis was firstly, to describe a group of uremic patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) prior to and after having started dialysis and secondly, their HRQOL after participation in a patient education program given before dialysis treatment was started. Several questionnaires were used to collect data concerning disease specific symptoms, perceived health, functional and emotional status, sense of coherence, use of coping strategies, disease specific knowledge and perceived amount of information.

  5. 4. Glucose degradation products in patients on hemodialysis : interventional studies

    Författare :Bernd Ramsauer; Bernd Stegmayr; Henrik Hadimeri; Bengt Lindholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hemodialysis; advanced glycation end products; skin autofluorescence; plasma autofluorescence; glucose degradation products;

    Sammanfattning : Hemodialysis (HD) is the most frequently used treatment for end-stage renal disease. Despite all efforts to improve the outcomes, the mortality of patients on HD is still high, and this especially is related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Experienced physical functioning and effects of resistance training in patients with chronic kidney disease

    Författare :Susanne Heiwe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exercise; Adult; Kidney Failure; Chronic; Biopsy; Muscle Fibers; Health Behaviour; Rehabilitation; Qualitative research; Adaptation; Psychological;

    Sammanfattning : Physical fitness declines as chronic kidney disease progresses, and is approximately 50% of the expected norm when starting dialysis therapy This means that physical fitness in these patients is so reduced that it impinge on their ability and capacity to perform activities of daily livings. Muscular weakness, caused by for instance abnormal protein metabolism, is one of the main reasons for this decline in physical functioning. LÄS MER
