Carrington, Mafalda; António, Pedro Silvério; Rodrigues, Natacha; Ferreira, Afonso Nunes; Bernardes, Ana; Pinto, Fausto J.; De Sousa, JoãoVascular patrimony is a major concern in patients with end-stage renal disease. As patients on chronic hemodialysis programs experience increasing survival rates, they frequently face multiple vascular access failures and may need recurrent central venous catheter insertions and fistula/grafts reinterventions to optimize their arteriovenous accesses. In addition, heart failure and heart rhythm disorders are fre...
The impact of glomerular filtration rate in heart failure patients with cardiac...
Marques, Pedro; Pinto, Fausto J.; Guerra, José; Lopes, José António; de Sousa, João; Carrington, Mafalda; António, Pedro; Ferreira, Afonso NunesBackground and Aims: Heart Failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both epidemic, frequently simultaneous and sharing well knowned risk factors. Implantable devices can improve quality of life and reduce mortality in a selected population. Data derived from meta-analyses show both survival benefit in CKD patients receiving devices and increased risk of death in device patients with CKD. Little is Know...
Obesity, acute kidney injury and mortality in patients with sepsis: a cohort an...
Gameiro, Joana; Gonçalves, Miguel; Pereira, Marta; Rodrigues, Natacha; Godinho, Iolanda; Neves, Marta; Gouveia, João; Silva, Zélia Costa e; Jorge, SofiaAlthough the prognostic effect of obesity has been studied in critically ill patients its impact on outcomes of septic patients and its role as a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) is not consensual. We aimed to analyze the impact of obesity on the occurrence of AKI and on in-hospital mortality in a cohort of critically ill septic patients. This study is retrospective including 456 adult patients with se...
Serum lactates and acute kidney injury in patients
Gonçalves, Miguel; Gameiro, Joana; Pereira, Marta; Rodrigues, NatachaAbstract:Granting the association of lactates with mortality has been largely ocumented in critically ill patients with sepsis, its association with the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in this setting is not well established. We aimed to analyze the association of serum lactates at intensive care unit (ICU) admission with the occurrence AKI in a cohort of critically ill septic patients. Materials and m...
