End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the last stage of chronic kidney disease and requires renal replacement therapies, such as hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is an important dialysis modality performed in more than 80% of patients with end-stage renal disease.
Improvements in the technology used for hemodialysis have contributed to the decrease of short-term mortality, however as patients may stay in hemodialysis for longer periods of time, they are often developing long-term complications such as malnutrition, thyroid problems, hypertension and hypotension, bone problems, and other. These late complications are associated with a lower quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality.
With this Research Topic, we would like to collect the recent advances in the management of hemodialysis patients, the new technologies to improve the short-term mortality, and with special attention to the management of hemodialysis patients in the long-term, to predict possible complications.
Authors are welcome to submit different types of articles investigating the following subjects:
• New technologies for hemodialysis
• Efficient management of hemodialysis patients
• New indicators of the complications
• Personalized management of complications
