Impact of telemedicine on metabolic control and hospitalization of peritoneal d...
Tabuti,Nicole Iasmin Magario; Pellizzari,Caio; Carrascossi,Henrique; Calice-Silva,Viviane; Figueiredo,Ana; Gordon,Gina Moreno; Biangini,GilsonAbstract Introduction: The coronavirus-19 pandemic threatens the lives of all people, but results in higher mortality rates for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) including those on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Telemedicine was the main alternative to reduce exposure to the virus, but it was introduced in the Brazil without proper training. Objective: To investigate the impact of telemedicine on metabol...
High prevalence of biochemical disturbances of chronic kidney disease - mineral...
Weissheimer,Rafael; Bucharles,Sergio Gardano Elias; Truyts,Cesar Augusto Madid; Jorgetti,Vanda; Figueiredo,Ana Elizabeth; Barrett,PasqualAbstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) are common in dialysis patients. Definition of targets for calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), parathormone (iPTH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and their treatment recommendations, are provided by international guidelines. There are few studies analyzing CKD-MBD in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and the impact of guidelines on ...
Cognition and renal function: findings from a Brazilian population
Chaiben,Viviane Bernardes de Oliveira; Silveira,Thabata Baechtold da; Guedes,Murilo Henrique; Fernandes,João Pedro de AlmeidaABSTRACT Introduction: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, with a potential impact in the risk of acceleration of dementia. The potential association between glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cognitive performance was scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate cognitive performance levels across different degrees of kidney function. Methods: We analyzed 240 outpatients...
Hypertension in patients on dialysis: diagnosis, mechanisms, and management
Bucharles,Sérgio Gardano Elias; Wallbach,Krissia K.S.; Moraes,Thyago Proença de; Pecoits-Filho,RobertoAbstract Hypertension (blood pressure > 140/90 mm Hg) is very common in patients undergoing regular dialysis, with a prevalence of 70-80%, and only the minority has adequate blood pressure (BP) control. In contrast to the unclear association of predialytic BP recordings with cardiovascular mortality, prospective studies showed that interdialytic BP, recorded as home BP or by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring...
APOL1 risk variants and kidney disease: what we know so far
Siemens,Tobias August; Riella,Miguel Carlos; Moraes,Thyago Proença de; Riella,Cristian VidalABSTRACT There are striking differences in chronic kidney disease between Caucasians and African descendants. It was widely accepted that this occurred due to socioeconomic factors, but recent studies show that apolipoprotein L-1 (APOL1) gene variants are strongly associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, HIV-associated nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and lupus nephritis in the African Amer...

Alteração do teor de cálcio no banho de DP para 2,5 mEq/L é eficaz no reestabel...
Moraes,Thyago Proença de; Bucharles,Sergio Gardano Elias; Ribeiro,Silvia Carreira; Frumento,Ricardo; Riella,Miguel Carlos; Pecoits-Filho,RobertoINTRODUÇÃO/OBJETIVO: A doença óssea adinâmica (DOA) é um achado comum em diálise peritoneal (PD) e é considerada fator de risco para desenvolvimento de fraturas e doença cardiovascular. Dados do BRAZPD apontam as soluções de cálcio a 3,5 mEq/L presentes na maioria das prescrições no país, que possui quase 9.000 pacientes em PD. É comum o balanço positivo de cálcio com concentrações a 3,5 mEq/L contribuindo para...
