  • Expanded Hemodialysis

    Innovative Clinical Approach in Dialysis

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series
    Despite constant significant advances, cardiovascular as well as more general outcomes of hemodialysis treatment remain unsatisfactory. The introduction of innovative 'high retention onset' membranes has led to the development of a new treatment modality called 'expanded hemodialysis' (HDx), which is the focus of this book. This new therapy is likely to benefit end-stage kidney disease patients, ... Read more

  • Ultrasound Imaging in Acute and Chronic Kidney Disease

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series
    Ultrasound imaging techniques are an indispensable complement to physical examination, which is often frustrating, if not useless, for diagnosing kidney problems. The application of ultrasound techniques in clinical routine helps clinicians to rule out, at first glance, some serious pathological conditions and to concentrate on the accurate diagnosis of the patient. Moreover, sonography can extend ... Read more

  • Acute Blood Purification

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series Contributions to Nephrology
    Acute organ damage and the ensuing multiple organ failure are the result of a pathophysiological process involving various cytokines. Once activated, these proteins cannot be eliminated even when the kidneys function at their maximum capacity. To counteract this mechanism, researchers in Japan have developed an innovative concept employing blood purification to remove the overwhelming cytokines. ... Read more

  • Fluid Overload

    Diagnosis and Management

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series Contributions to Nephrology
    Fluid overload is often observed in patients with heart failure and secondary oliguric states. A thorough assessment of the fluid status of the patient may help guide the therapy and prevent complications induced by inappropriate therapeutic strategies. The present publication is divided into four parts: Definition and Classification, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Therapy. In the first section, ... Read more

  • Patient Safety in Dialysis Access

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series
    Not only are dialysis access creation and maintenance prone to complications, but patients suffering from end-stage renal disease and its comorbidities generally have a high risk of adverse events during their continuous treatment. Preventive strategies are key to avoid harm and to improve the outcome of the treatment of the growing number of patients with chronic kidney failure, especially as ... Read more

  • Brain, Stroke and Kidney

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series
    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Stroke, on the other hand, is not only a major player in cardiovascular disease, but it also has strong two-way relationships with CKD. Moreover, subclinical cerebral abnormalities are also associated with CKD. But despite all these connections, the cerebro-renal interaction has so far not received much ... Read more

  • New Insights into Glomerulonephritis

    Pathogenesis and Treatment

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series
    Chronic kidney disease is a global major health issue that ultimately leads to end-stage renal disease, a devastating condition requiring costly renal replacement therapy. Given this background, extensive understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and exploring novel therapeutic targets will help to alleviate disease progression, improve prognosis and reduce its impact on the global economic ...

  • Endotoxemia and Endotoxin Shock

    Disease, Diagnosis and Therapy

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series Contributions to Nephrology
    The presence of endotoxin in the bloodstream is the consequence of an immunological response triggered by bacterial invasion of the host. This condition leads to altered cardiovascular function, lung dysfunction and acute kidney injury. Removing as much as possible of the circulating endotoxin is therefore imperative to mitigate its biological and clinical effects at the cellular, tissue and organ ... Read more

  • Buttonhole Cannulation

    Current Prospects and Challenges

    by Claudio Ronco ...
    Series series
    The buttonhole method for the cannulation of the arteriovenous fistula was discovered more than 40 years ago and was soon adopted on a wide scale due to its obvious benefits of decreased puncture pain and extension of the life of the arteriovenous fistula. Following reports of complications such as a higher incidence of access-related infections, the method has lately been the subject of intense ... Read more
