Serum Potassium and Mortality Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: A Cohort Study

Esther N. M. de Rooij, Friedo Wilhelm Dekker, Saskia le Cessie, Ewout Jasper Hoorn et autres

RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Both hypo- and hyperkalemia can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Although predialysis serum potassium level is a known modifiable risk factor for death in patients receiving hemodialysis, especially for hypokalemia, this risk may be underestimated. Therefore, we investigated the relationship …

B-type natriuretic peptide and interdialytic fluid retention are independent and incremental predictors of mortality in hemodialysis patients

Berend Daan Westenbrink, T.K. Kremer Hovinga, Wybe D. Kloppenburg, Nic J.G.M. Veeger et autres

AIM: Management of fluid homeostasis remains a major challenge in hemodialysis patients. We aimed to establish whether the cardiac strain marker B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) could help to identify hypervolemic patients at increased risk of death. METHODS: BNP levels were determined before …

Effect of prescribing a high protein diet and increasing the dose of dialysis on nutrition in stable chronic haemodialysis patients: a randomized, controlled trial

Wd Kloppenburg, Coen A. Stegeman, T.K. Kremer Hovinga, G Vastenburg et autres

BACKGROUND: Protein requirements in stable, adequately dialysed haemodialysis patients are not known and recommendations vary. It is not known whether increasing the dialysis dose above the accepted adequate level has a favourable effect on nutrition. The aim of this study was to …
