Renal replacement therapy in geriatric end-stage renal disease patients: a clinical approach.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Renal medullary hypoxia precedes the development of acute kidney injury in experimental sepsis and can now be assessed by continuous measurement of urinary oxygen tension (PuO2). OBJECTIVES:We aimed to test if PuO2 measurements in patients with septic shock would be similar to those shown in experimental se...

abstract：:Haemodialysis is associated with increased oxidant stress. This appears to be due to (1) an increased production of free radicals during haemodialysis, (2) a net reduction of many antioxidants and (3) factors intrinsic to the uremic state. These alterations can lead to cardiovascular disease and many of the pathologie...
