- 3From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground This study examines the patients' need for information and guidance in the selection of dialysis modality, and in establishing and practicing home dialysis. The study focuses on patients' experiences...
- 4From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedBackground There are no national data on the magnitude and pattern of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in India. The Indian CKD Registry documents the demographics, etiological spectrum, practice patterns, variations and...
- 5From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine proteinase inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipokine identified in genetically obese rats that correlates with insulin resistance and obesity in humans. Recently, we found...
- 6From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has emerged as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality throughout all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), independent from established risk factors...
- 7From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Simple renal cysts usually have benign clinical features. We report a rare case of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with a large recurrent simple cyst following sclerotherapy. Case...
- 8From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Peritoneal dialysis has been proven to be a safe and effective mode of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. The usage of laparoscopic catheter placement technique was...
- 9From: BMC Nephrology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone that is secreted from bone and serum level increases as renal function declines. Higher levels of FGF23 are associated with increased mortality...
