Hemodialysis associated hypotension and dialysate temperature.

Incidence of intradialytic symptomatic hypotension was significantly reduced by lowering dialysate temperature from 37 degrees C to 35 degrees C. This improvement seems not to be mediated by temperature-induced changes in membrane biocompatibility, since leukocytes, platelets and complement activation were similar in both situations.

High prevalence of lupus anticoagulant in hemodialysis patients.

Coagulation studies were performed in 47 hemodialysis patients in order to assess abnormalities predisposing to thrombosis. A very high incidence of Lupus Anticoagulant was detected, a finding not previously described. This work is a preliminary report of this association and of its possible clinical implications.

[Diagnostic yield of the urodynamic study of the upper urinary tract in the orthotopic and transplanted kidney].

Urodynamic pressure-flow studies (Whitaker test) of 28 kidneys (21 orthotopic and 7 transplanted) with equivocal obstruction of the upper urinary tract (UUT) yielded a sensitivity rate of 77.7% and a specificity rate of 75% in the orthotopic kidney, and sensitivity and specificity rates of 75% in the transplanted kidney. Trauma to the transplanted kidney (denervation, ischemia and surgery) does not modify the urodynamic of the pyelocaliceal system, thus conferring on the test the same diagnostic reliability as in the orthotopic kidney.
