Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of normal as compared with low hematocrit values in patients with cardiac disease who are receiving hemodialysis and epoetin.
Anatole Besarab,W K Bolton,J K Browne,Joan C. Egrie,Allen R. Nissenson,D M Okamoto,Steve J. Schwab,David A. Goodkin +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with clinically evident congestive heart failure or ischemic heart disease who are receiving hemodialysis, administration of epoetin to raise their hematocrit to 42 percent is not recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Dialysis Dose and Membrane Flux in Maintenance Hemodialysis
Garabed Eknoyan,Gerald J. Beck,Alfred K. Cheung,John T. Daugirdas,Tom Greene,John W. Kusek,Michael Allon,James L. Bailey,James A. Delmez,Thomas A. Depner,Johanna T. Dwyer,Andrew S. Levey,Nathan W. Levin,Edgar L. Milford,Daniel B. Ornt,Michael V. Rocco,Gerald Schulman,Steve J. Schwab,Brendan P. Teehan,Robert D. Toto +19 more
TL;DR: Patients undergoing hemodialysis thrice weekly appear to have no major benefit from a higher dialysis dose than that recommended by current U.S. guidelines or from the use of a high-flux membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catheter-Related Bacteremia and Outcome of Attempted Catheter Salvage in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Kieren A. Marr,Daniel J. Sexton,Peter J. Conlon,G. R. Corey,Steve J. Schwab,Kathryn B. Kirkland +5 more
TL;DR: The results of several recent small or retrospective studies suggest that many episodes of bacteremia can be successfully treated with the catheter in place (catheter salvage), although success rates have varied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of hemodialysis fistula thrombosis. Early detection of venous stenoses.
Steve J. Schwab,John R. Raymond,M Saeed,Glenn E. Newman,Patricia A. Dennis,R. Randal Bollinger +5 more
TL;DR: Elevated venous dialysis pressure is a reliable method of detecting fistula stenoses and that the elective treatment of these stenoses significantly decreases fistula thrombosis and fistula loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hemodialysis catheter conundrum: Hate living with them, but can’t live without them
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of both the benefits inherent with the use of these hemodialysis catheters and the complications associated with each, while cataloging their complications and offering some possible solutions.
