A dynamic nomogram for predicting survival among diabetic patients on maintenance hemodialysis
Introduction:
Among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, ones with diabetes mellitus (DM) are known to have the worst outcome.
Methods:
A total of 263 MHD patients were included, a dynamic nomogram was established based on multivariable Cox regression analysis.
Results:
The median overall survival (OS) time was 46 months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 90.9%, 70.5% and 53.9%, respectively. The multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that DM duration, cardiovascular complication, baseline values before starting MHD for estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum phosphate were independent risk factors. The C-index of the dynamic nomogram was 0.745 and the calibration curves showed optimal agreement between the model prediction and actual observation for predicting survival probabilities.
Conclusions:
Our study was the first to establish dynamic nomogram among diabetic MHD patients, the fast and convenient online tool can be used for individual risk estimation at the point of prognosis prediction.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
