WHAT IS CARDIORENAL SYNDROM? – TYPES

OBSTRUCTED AV FISTULA – WHAT TO DO?

Often, due to the more thickened and saturated with waste products and salts blood of patients on hemodialysis treatment, it happens that the AV fistula becomes blocked.

FABRY DISEASE AND HEREDITARY KIDNEY DISORDERS

Today we will focus on Fabry disease – a rare genetic disease resulting from a mutation of a gene (GLA) located on the X chromosome. Like any part of the human body, the kidneys often suffer from various diseases. Some of them which arise spontaneously, are treated and subside quickly. Others are hereditary, appear quietly, […]

HEMODIALYSIS AND TRANSPLANTATION

Every patient who has started hemodialysis and after the initial emotional shock begins to hard and feverishly prepare for a kidney transplantation – the only possible way to “get his life back”. Of course, it is very important to note that hemodialysis is often only a stopover for people with CKD on their way to […]

It is an indisputable fact that the news of starting hemodialysis, which patients with chronic renal failure (CKD) receive, is an extremely traumatic psychological moment – where starts suffering not only the body, but also the soul of the patient. Dialysis treatment that continues for years, and the fact that the patient is dependent on […]
