Cognitive Impairment and Structural Neuroimaging Abnormalities Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

TL;DR: Dialysis modality showed no association with cognitive impairment, although hemodialysis patients had more severe neuroimaging abnormalities, and white matter hyperintensity, and ventricular and hippocampal atrophy, were independently associated with global cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraperitoneal Vancomycin Plus Either Oral Moxifloxacin or Intraperitoneal Ceftazidime for the Treatment of Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

TL;DR: This pilot study suggests that intraperitoneal vancomycin with oral moxifloxacin is a safe, well-tolerated, practical, and effective first-line treatment for PD-related peritonitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Equations for Estimating Lean Body Mass in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

TL;DR: LBM estimated from MAMC or HGS were found to provide accurate estimates of LBM in nondialyzed patients with CKD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of Adiponectin, Leptin Levels, and the Change of Body Composition in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: A Prospective Cohort Study.

TL;DR: A high adiponectin level could predict an increase in FM% and a decrease in LBM% during a 3-year follow-up in PD patients, and the predictive effect of high-serum adiponECTin level on mortality disappeared after adjusting for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
