This book contains notable contributions from the well-known Vicenza course on hemodialysis and miniaturized wearable devices for renal replacement therapy. The main themes covered in this publication include cardio-renal syndromes as well as new technologies in hemodialysis, new dialysis membranes and techniques, the importance of vitamin D receptors in renal and extra-renal physiology, and the control of risk factors such as blood pressure and lipid disorders. Special interest is placed on new models of organization including large dialysis networks and health care economics. Moreover, acute

A consideration and assessment of the science of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). It is divided into four sections. The first is devoted to membrane permeability, transport mechanisms and kinetic modelling applied to APD. The second section covers topics which until now have not been assessed in depth, such as prescription and adequacy of different APD treatment schedules. The third section is dedicated to dialysis machines and solutions for APD, and the last section deals with different clinical aspects such as the possibility to maintain a PD programme and residual renal function.

The field of hemodialysis is subject to constant transformations due to continuous advances in techniques, biomaterials and devices. Based on international surveys, objective evaluations of experts and recent clinical trials, the publication at hand pays special attention to the physiological aspects of treatments as well as practical questions in the dialysis unit. Taking into account recent developments, an international group of contributors addresses issues related to vascular access, epidemiology, inflammation, fluid management, uremic toxicity, treatment efficacy, advanced techniques, ca

Type-2 diabetic nephropathy is one of the major long-term microvascular complications occurring in nearly 40 per cent of diabetic patients in Japan. The purpose of this book is to review recent work on the genetic background, pathogenesis and treatment of this disorder and to provide the most up-to-date findings on these subjects in Japan. The pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy includes both metabolic and/or hemodynamic factors, as well as renal hypertrophy. Hyperglycemia is necessary, but not sufficient, for its initiation and progression: The toxicity of persistent hyperglycemia results fr

All you need to know about vascular and peritoneal access techniques Recent developments have spurred a renewed interest in novel solutions to access the patient circulation, mainly concentrating on vascular access for renal replacement therapies and on peritoneal dialysis access. Starting with the epidemiology, the focus then shifts to the evolution of new techniques and monitoring procedures with regard to hemodialysis, which are discussed and evaluated. Attention is also paid to the new biomaterials available, concentrating on their improved biocompatibility and surface characteristics. As

Uric acid disorders are involved in both nephrological and hematological diseases. One of these crystal-associated diseases which has been known since antiquity is gout. More recently, tumor Lysis syndromes have been identified which affect patients with cancer, especially in the phase of cellular destruction after chemotherapy. The detection of these hyperuricemic syndromes, together with the improved understanding of urate handling by the kidney, have spurred new interest in the pathophysiology of hyperuricemic states, their clinical consequences and management. Moreover, the recent developm
