Journal ArticleDOI
Healthcare systems and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) therapies—an international review: costs and reimbursement/funding of ESRD therapies
TL;DR: The costs and reimbursement patterns in the majority of countries were very similar and therefore did not explain the different distribution of modalities in these countries, and one explanation could be the difference in microeconomics, CHD being a treatment with high fixed costs, but high variable costs (supplies) and a low need for investments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multicenter, selection-adjusted comparison of patient and technique survivals on CAPD and hemodialysis.
Rosario Maiorca,Edward F. Vonesh,Pier Luigi Cavalli,A. De Vecchi,A. Giangrande,G La Greca,L L Scarpioni,Luisa Bragantini,Giovanni Cancarini,A. Cantaluppi +9 more
TL;DR: CAPD would appear to be an excellent alternative to HD based on this 7 year analysis, and there was no statistically significant difference between CAPD and HD technique survival when peritonitis was eliminated as a cause of failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cutaneous lesions in 67 cyclosporin-treated renal transplant recipients.
Pier Luca Bencini,Giuseppe Montagnino,Francesco Sala,A. De Vecchi,Carlo Crosti,Antonio Tarantino +5 more
TL;DR: Two patients developed a squamous-cell epithelioma and a probable cutaneous lymphoma, respectively, in the first month after transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal disease in essential mixed cryoglobulinaemia. Long-term follow-up of 44 patients.
Antonio Tarantino,A. De Vecchi,Giuseppe Montagnino,Enrico Imbasciati,M. J. Mihatsch,H. U. Zollinger,G. B. Di Belgiojoso,G. Busnach,Claudio Ponticelli +8 more
TL;DR: The ominous significance of renal impairment in EMC should be revaluated because the high prevalence of hypertension, which was refractory to treatment in six patients, may be important to the clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peritoneal dialysis in nondiabetic patients older than 70 years: Comparison with patients aged 40 to 60 years
TL;DR: Patient survival was significantly worse in the elderly patients, but the observed to expected survival ratio with respect to age was similar, and technique survival was comparable in the two groups.
