Metabolic acidosis in hemodialysis: a neglected problem in Brazil
Silva,Ana Paula Ramos; Strogoff-de-Matos,Jorge Paulo; Lugon,Jocemir RonaldoABSTRACT Introduction: Metabolic acidosis is associated with the high mortality seen in hemodialysis patients. The panorama of metabolic acidosis in hemodialysis in Brazil is unclear since 1996 when the analysis of bicarbonate levels was no longer a compulsory exam. We aimed to establish the prevalence of metabolic acidosis in a hemodialysis population and analyze the factors associated with low bicarbonate lev...

Lima,Valentine de A. C. de Castro; Gouvêa,Ana Luisa Figueira; Menezes,Paulo; Santos,Jacqueline da F.; Rochael,Mayra Carrijo; Carvalho,Fabiana RabeAbstract Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon and life-threating condition characterized by major immune activation and massive cytokine production by mononuclear inflammatory cells, due to defects in cytotoxic lymphocyte function. It is even more unusual in renal transplant recipients, in which it is often associated with uncontrolled infection. The mortality is high in HLH and differential ...
