Maastricht type 2 donation after circulatory death (DCD) has been shown to have similar results in long term outcomes in kidney transplantation, when compared with brain dead donation. Our main goal was to assess Maastricht type 2 DCD and evaluate factors that impact on early graft function. Methods: A retrospective stud...

Assessment of Fluid Status in Dialysis: Clinical Importance and Diagnostic Tools

Nevertheless, volume depletion is associated with myocardial stunning and cerebral ischaemia. For decades, many diagnostic tools have been proposed for increased accuracy in evaluation of volemia, considering that clinical assessment is unreliable. Lung ultrasound and bioimpedance analysis emerged as the most u...
