Journal ArticleDOI
Strict volume control normalizes hypertension in peritoneal dialysis patients
TL;DR: Findings show that normal BP can be achieved by severe salt restriction combined with increased UF in the majority of CAPD patients, but also by a decrease in residual renal function and Kt/V index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in haemodialysis patients by ultrafiltration and reduced salt intake without antihypertensive drugs.
TL;DR: It is suggested that good long-term BP control and a decrease of LVM can be achieved by continuous efforts to control hypervolaemia and the decrease in volume may be even more important than pressure reduction to achieve this goal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relations between malnutrition–inflammation–atherosclerosis and volume status. The usefulness of bioimpedance analysis in peritoneal dialysis patients
Meltem Sezis Demirci,Cenk Demirci,Oner Ozdogan,Fatih Kircelli,Fehmi Akcicek,Ali Basci,Ercan Ok,Mehmet Ozkahya +7 more
TL;DR: FO defined by m-BIA is significantly correlated with markers of malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis in PD patients, and correlated well with volume overload as assessed by echocardiography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of hypertension in dialysis patients by ultrafiltration: Role of cardiac dilatation and time factor
Mehmet Ozkahya,Huseyin Toz,Abdulkadir Unsal,Filiz Özerkan,Gulay Asci,Cemil Gürgün,Fehmi Akcicek,Evert J. Dorhout Mees +7 more
TL;DR: Conventional relatively short dialysis (three times weekly for at least 4 hours) can achieve normal BPs with prolonged effort in most patients, whereas improvement in heart condition facilitates this.
Journal ArticleDOI
‘Paradoxical’ rise in blood pressure during ultrafiltration in dialysis patients
M. Cirit,Fehmi Akcicek,Ender Terzioglu,C. Soydas,Ercan Ok,Ç.F. Özbaşli,Ali Basci,Evert J. Dorhout Mees +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that paradoxical blood pressure rise with UF usually occurs in the presence overhydration and cardiac dilatation and should be treated by intensified UF.
