  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Renal function decline and optimized planning for kidney replacement therapy

    Författare :Ulrika Hahn Lundström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) is an increasing health problem world-wide, and the prevalence increases with age. CKD is a life-threatening condition, with high risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Patients with advanced CKD often need Kidney Replacement Therapy, (KRT), this includes transplantation, dialysis or conservative care. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Assessment of DNA damage, oxidative stress and inflammation in chronic kidney disease patients : and a clinical study of a dietary supplement

    Författare :Ylva Rodhe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Decreased kidney function is associated with higher levels of oxidative stress, inflammation and malnutrition. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have a higher risk to develop cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis and cancer compared to the general population. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in CKD patients. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evaluation of Myocardial Function in Chronic Kidney Disease : A Colour Tissue Velocity Imaging Study

    Författare :Shirley Hayashi; Lars-Åke Brodin; Svend Aakhus; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Cardiac; Kidney; Tissue; Velocity; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), overhydration, uremic toxins and left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony are factors that may lead to LV dysfunction and conduction abnormalities and thus contribute to the high cardiac mortality. Colour tissue velocity imaging (TVI) allows a detailed quantitative analysis of cardiac function in CKD patients, opening new possibilities to evaluate longitudinal myocardial motion, rapid isovolumetric events, LV filling pressure and LV synchronicity.
