Objective To investigate the change of cardiac structure and function in patients with uremia before and after peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods Eighty three standard continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients treated between October 2009 and October 2014 were selected in this study. According to the ultrasound cardiogram before and 6 months after the PD, we analyzed the influence of age, diabetes mellitus, dialysis interval, hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum creatinine, serum calcium and phosphate and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the cardiac structure and function. Results Hemoglobin increased significantly after PD (P <0.01), while albumin and PTH decreased significantly (P <0.01). The changes in creatinine, triglyceride and cholesterol were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). For CAPD patients, cardiac systolic function did no t obviously change before and after dialysis, while the diastolic function improved obviously after dialysis. Conclusion PD may improve cardiac diastolic function of CAPD patients.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of Lanthanum Carbonate for hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. Methods We searched MEDLINE (1996 to April 2006); EMBASE (1996 to April 2006); Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 1, 2006); CBM disc; VIP and CNKI. We also checked the references of relevant studies. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing Lanthanum Carbonate with placebo and standard therapy were eligible for inclusion. Quality assessment and data extraction were done by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was conducted using The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.8. Results Six RCTs were included. Lanthanum Carbonate was found to be more effective than placebo in treating hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients (OR 4.74, 95%CI 2.66 to 8.45; Plt;0.0001) and the incidence of all drug-related adverse events was similar between Lanthanum Carbonate and placebo-treated group (OR 1.23, 95%CI 0.74 to 2.04; P=0.42). The meta-analysis also showed that the efficacy of treating hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients was similar between Lanthanum Carbonate and conventional phosphate binders (OR 0.97, 95%CI 0.74 to 1.27; P=0.81) and the incidence of all drug-related adverse events was also similar (OR 1.29, 95%CI 0.62 to 2.47; P=0.49). However, serum calcium level was lower in the Lanthanum Carbonate group than in the conventional phosphate binders group. Conclusion Lanthanum Carbonate is effective and well-tolerated in treating hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease(ESRD). The incidence of hypercalcemia induced by Lanthanum Carbonate is significantly lower than that of the conventional phosphate binders. However, more large-scale, randomized, double-blinded trials are required to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of Lanthanum Carbonate.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of gallbladder stone in dialysis patients, determine whether it is higher than that in the general population, find out the difference of prevalence between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients, and analyzes the possible causes. MethodsWe analyzed the prevalence of gallbladder stone in 358 dialysis patients (126 cases of hemodialysis and 232 cases of peritoneal dialysis) followed up in our hospital from January 2009 to October 2012. And we compared it with 376 patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD5) and the general population. ResultsThe prevalence of gallbladder stone in dialysis patients followed up in our hospital was 23.5%, which was higher than CKD5 patients (P=0.002). The prevalence was significantly greater in dialysis patients than that in the general population (P<0.000 5). In the dialysis patients who were younger than sixty years old, the prevalence of gallbladder stone in peritoneal dialysis patients was obviously higher than that in the hemodialysis patients (P<0.05). The albumin level was significantly lower in peritoneal dialysis patients than in the hemodialysis patients. At the same time, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, and the ratio of low density lipoprotein to high density lipoprotein were much higher with statistical significance. Logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age (OR=2.581, P=0.001), female (OR=2.554, P=0.000), the primary disease (diabetes mellitus) (OR=1.947, P=0.044) and dialysis period (OR=1.000, P=0.006) were risk factors for gallbladder stone in dialysis patients. ConclusionThe prevalence of gallbladder stone in dialysis patients is higher than that in the general population. Peritoneal dialysis patients have more risk factors to get gallbladder stone than hemodialysis patients. Risk factors for gallbladder stone in dialysis patients are increasing age, female, primary disease (diabetes mellitus), dyslipidemia, hypoalbuminemia, long dialysis period and so on.

Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 60 patients having undergone CAPD in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2008 and December 2009. The patients were divided into two groups with 30 in each by calcium concentration of the dialysate: the physiological calcium dialysate group (1.25 mmol/L) and the standard calcium dialysate group (1.75 mmol/L). The metabolism indexes of calcium and phosphorus for the two group of patients were compared. Results Levels of Serum phosphate, calcium-phosphate product and immoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) of all the patients in both groups before and after treatment showed no significant differences (Pgt;0.05). Serum calcium increased significantly in patients treated with standard calcium dialysate (Plt;0.05), while it did not change significantly in patients treated with physiological calcium dialysate (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions Dialysate with different concentrations of calcium provides different influence on the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Changing calcium concentration to 1.25 mmol/L in the dialysate can lower the calcium load for patients with hypercalcium and/or hyperphosphate with low bone turnover, providing treatment space for clinical doctors to use binders containing both calcium and phosphorus.
ObjectiveTo reduce the incidence of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter complications through a continuous quality improvement (CQI) process. MethodsTwenty-nine patients with catheters inserted (from January 2011 to March 2011) before CQI, and another 41 patients with catheters inserted (between April 2011 and January 2012) after CQI were observed and analyzed. The possible causes of complications of catheter were summarized, and then on the basis of that, a PDCA four-step (plan-do-check-act) method was designed with a view to reducing the incidence of postoperative complications. ResultsPD catheter dysfunction decreased from 6.90% to 2.44%. The incidence of leakage decreased from 44.83% to 9.76%. ConclusionCQI is a useful method to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications of PD catheter in peritoneal dialysis.
Objective To explore the medical insurance quota payment of dialysis treatment for outpatients with end-stage renal disease in Chengdu from following aspects, evaluation indexes and reasonable amount, so as to provide scientific basis for the payment of single disease. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the cost information of patients, and to formulate the assignment of evaluation indexes according to the therapeutic principles and statistical results; Delphi method was adopted to determine the assignment and the standard of quota payment. Results A total of 17 dialysis organizations approved by Chengdu municipal medical insurance were involved in this study. Of 700 questionnaires distributed, 686 were retrieved. After excluding 26 questionnaires for incomplete filling and incorrect treatment information, a total of 660 questionnaires were included actually, accounted for 94.28% of all informants. The results of survey showed that, the hemodialysis treatment rate accounted for 84% (555/660) of all informants, while the peritoneal dialysis treatment rate accounted for 16% (105/660). By assessing the project assignment of outpatient dialysis treatment, the minimum annual payment of hemodialysis was RMB 118 242.75 yuan, while that of peritoneal dialysis was RMB 96 498.00 yuan. Conclusion The quota payment of outpatient dialysis shows b evidence after adopting the treatment project assignment. The grading quota payment of outpatient dialysis enables the medical insurance fund to be more reasonably used.
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided TAP block for the anesthesia in peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter implantation. Methods Patients with end-stage renal disease who intended to receive PD catheter implantation in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University were enrolled from April 2015 to February 2016. Those who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups: the local filtration anesthesia (LF) group and the TAP group. The two groups got the ultrasound guided TAP block (The LF group got a shame TAP block by making the skin wheal and just inserting the needle into the TAP with the guidance of ultrasound), then the LF group received local filtration anesthesia twenty minutes later, with the TAP group had sham LF anesthesia by injection of saline at the incision subcutaneously. The anesthetist generated the random allocation sequence and performed all TAP/sham blocks according to the allocation of each patient. The patients, investigators were all blind to the allocation. The follow-up time was 3 months. The primary outcomes were the rate of alteration to general anesthesia and the VAS score during and after the surgery. The dosages of sufentanil for analgesia during and after were recorded. The satisfaction to the effect anesthesia by the operation doctors, PD catheter related complications and adverse events related to TAP block or anesthetic agent were also recorded. Statistic analysis was conducted using SPSS 19.0 software. Results A total of 36 patients were included, 12 cases in the LF group and 24 cases in the TAP group. The rate of alteration to general anesthesia in the TAP group was 4.12% and was significantly lower than that in the LF group (33.3%) (P=0.034). The VAS scores at the time points of incision of skin, division of subcutaneous tissue and anterior rectus sheath, opening the peritoneum, insertion of PDC, suture of skin, 2 hours and 24 hours after operation were significantly lower in the TAP group compared to the LF group (P values=0.001, 0.037, 0.000, 0.001, 0.029, 0.035, and 0.000, respectively). The TAP group consumed less sufentanil during the operation and showed a higher satisfaction of the operation doctors. There were no significant differences in the PD catheter related complications and adverse events between the two groups. Conclusion The ultrasound-guided TAP block can be an effective and safe anesthesia method for PD catheter implantation. Because of the limitation of small sample size of this study, a multiple center study with larger sample size is suggested.
