  2. Uremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uremia

    Uremia is commonly seen in patients who undergo dialysis due to renal insufficiency. For hemodialysis patients, it is important to determine the treatment schedule. Dental treatment should be started on the day after hemodialysis due to several reasons: there is no accumulation of uremic toxins in the blood, and circulating heparin is absent.

  3. Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialysis_disequilibrium...

    Better alternatives are Nocturnal or Daily Dialysis, which are far more gentle processes for the new dialysis patient. Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome is a reason why hemodialysis initiation should be done gradually, i.e. it is a reason why the first few dialysis sessions are shorter and less aggressive than the typical dialysis treatment for ...

  4. Kidney failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_failure

    It is also equivalent to stage 5 chronic kidney disease. [1] Treatment of acute failure depends on the underlying cause. [7] Treatment of chronic failure may include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or a kidney transplant. [2] Hemodialysis uses a machine to filter the blood outside the body. [2]

  5. Hemolytic–uremic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic–uremic_syndrome

    Hemolytic–uremic syndrome (HUS) is a group of blood disorders characterized by low red blood cells, acute kidney injury (previously called acute renal failure), and low platelets. [1] [3] Initial symptoms typically include bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and weakness. [1] [2] Kidney problems and low platelets then occur as the diarrhea ...

  6. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

    Uremic toxins are classified into three groups as small water-soluble solutes, middle molecular-weight solutes, and protein-bound solutes. [84] Hemodialysis with high-flux dialysis membrane, long or frequent treatment, and increased blood/dialysate flow has improved removal of water-soluble small molecular weight uremic toxins.

  7. Kidney dialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_dialysis

    Schematic of semipermeable membrane during hemodialysis, where blood is red, dialysing fluid is blue, and the membrane is yellow. Kidney dialysis (from Greek διάλυσις, dialysis, 'dissolution'; from διά, dia, 'through', and λύσις, lysis, 'loosening or splitting') is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer ...

  8. Acute kidney injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_kidney_injury

    It affects some 3–7% of patients admitted to the hospital and approximately 25–30% of patients in the intensive care unit. [ 47 ] Acute kidney injury was one of the most expensive conditions seen in U.S. hospitals in 2011, with an aggregated cost of nearly $4.7 billion for approximately 498,000 hospital stays. [ 48 ]

  9. Uremic pruritus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uremic_pruritus

    Xerosis is a contributing factor to pruritus and is present in 50–85% of patients with uremic pruritus. [16] Many studies have shown that emollients such as glycerol and paraffin, [17] physiological lipids, [18] 10% urea and dexpanthenol, [19] and baby oil [20] can reduce xerosis and pruritus in patients with uremic pruritus.
