Management of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder:CKD-MBD Korean working group recommendations
Publication date: Available online 24 February 2015 Source:Kidney Research and Clinical Practice Author(s): Eunah Hwang , Bum Soon Choi , Kook-Hwan Oh , Young Joo Kwon , Gheun-Ho Kim For Korean dialysis patients, chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a serious burden because of cardiovascular calcification and mortality. However, recent epidemiologic data have demonstrated that many patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are out of the target ranges of serum calcium, phosphorus, and intact-parathyroid hormone. Thus, we felt the necessity for the development of practical recommendations to...

Hyperphosphatemia is associated with patency loss of arteriovenous fistula after one year of hemodialysis
Conclusions Various factors were associated with the development of patency loss of AVF as hemodialysis duration differed and a preventive role of hyperphosphatemia control in AVF survival will need more clinical study. (Source: Kidney Research and Clinical Practice)

Effect of acute intradialytic strength physical exercise on the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in hemodialysis patients
Conclusion These data suggest that acute intradialytic strength physical exercise was unable to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, and in addition, it seems to reduce plasma SOD levels, which could to exacerbate the oxidative stress in HD patients.

There have been two cases of red man syndrome (RMS), a vancomycin-specific nonimmunologic reaction, associated with IP vancomycin. However, immune-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to IP vancomycin has not yet been reported. A 49 yea...

The relationship between pulmonary hypertension, peripheral vascular calcification, and major cardiovascular events in patients on dialysis
Conclusion The prevalence of PHT was higher in HD patients and was associated with higher rates of major cardiovascular events. Severe VCs are thought to be an independent risk factor for predicting PHT in ESRD patients. Therefore, in dialysis patients with PHT, careful attention should be paid to the presence of VCs and the occurrence of major cardiovascular events. (Source: Kidney Research and Clinical Practice)

Genetic predisposition of donors affects the allograft outcome in kidney transplantation: Single nucleotide polymorphism of aquaporin-11
Conclusions A donor-derived, not recipient derived, genetic AQP11 polymorphism has different effects on graft outcome. Thus, the genetic influence from donors should be carefully considered for proper management of allografts after kidney transplantation. (Source: Kidney Research and Clinical Practice)

Optimal hemoglobin level for anemia treatment in a cohort of hemodialysis patients
Conclusions In this study, a Hb level of 10–11g/dL was associated with the lowest mortality among the groups with Hb <13g/dL. Larger interventional trials are warranted to determine the optimal Hb target for Korean HD patients. (Source: Kidney Research and Clinical Practice)
