Objective: to determine the prevalence of secondary and tertiary hyperthyroidism among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing management at a single tertiary care center. Methodology: cross-sectional observational single-center study was carried out in the Dialysis Center from 25-10-2024- 24-06-2025. One hundred twenty-three subjects were enrolled in this study. All patients were on chronic hemodialysis treatment with different primary causes of renal failure, with a mean duration of hemodialysis …

Objective: To assess the quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and to identify factors influencing it. Methodology: Study was descriptive cross-sectional commenced at the Multan Institute of Kidney Diseases, Multan, from October 25, 2024, to April 24, 2025. Study included 100 patients with ESRD having age ?18 years, on hemodialysis from least three months. Main variables of study were demographics, duration of dialysis, vascular access type, co morbidit…

Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially life-threatening complication following total knee replacement (TKR), with early mobilization proposed as a pivotal strategy to reduce postoperative thrombotic risk. However, gaps remain in the comparative effectiveness of mobilization timing and thromboprophylaxis modalities. Objective: This study aimed to determine the impact of early mobilization (within 24 hours) on DVT incidence after TKR and to assess the association of demographic factors, mobilizati…

Abstract Background Kidney size is a critical parameter in the assessment of renal health, yet population-specific reference values are lacking for Pakistan. This study aimed to establish normative computed tomography (CT)-based renal dimensions and volumes in a healthy Pakistani cohort and to explore their correlations with demographic and functional parameters. Results A total of 96 healthy adults were included, with a mean age of 36.8 ± 9.8 years. The mean renal length was 103.4 ± 7.2 mm on the right and 104.7 …

Introduction: Image-guided renal mass biopsy is gaining increased diagnostic acceptance, but there are limited data concerning the safety and diagnostic yield of biopsy for small renal masses (≤4 cm). This study evaluated the safety, diagnostic yield, and management after image-guided percutaneous biopsy for small renal masses. Methods: A retrospective IRB-approved study was conducted on patients who underwent renal mass biopsy for histopathologic diagnosis at a single center from 2015 to 2021. Patients with a pri…
