Identification of palliative care needs and prognostic factors of survival in tailoring appropriate interventions in advanced oncological, renal and pulmonary diseases: a prospective observational protocol Open
Introduction It is estimated that of those who die in high-income countries, 69%–82% would benefit from palliative care with a high prevalence of advanced chronic conditions and limited life prognosis. A positive response to these challeng…

Antibody Responses after Two Doses of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation Patients Recovered from SARS-CoV-2 Infection Open
Background and Objectives: Hemodialysis patients (HD) and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have been heavily impacted by COVID-19, showing increased risk of infection, worse clinical outcomes, and higher mortality rates than the general…

Persistence of Antibody Responses to the SARS-CoV-2 in Dialysis Patients and Renal Transplant Recipients Recovered from COVID-19 Open
Nephropathic subjects with impaired immune responses show dramatically high infection rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This work evaluated the ability to acquire and maintain protective antibodies over time in 26 hemodialysis …

Renal Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Concurrent COVID-19 Vaccination and Infection Open
We report on the development of nephrotic proteinuria and microhematuria, with histological features of renal thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), following the first dose of BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) and COVID-19 diagnosis.…

Bloodstream infections and patient survival with tunneled-cuffed catheters for hemodialysis: A single-center observational study Open
Background: In hemodialysis patients, a tunneled-cuffed permanent catheter is mandatory when the arteriovenous fistula is not feasible. The major risks of the use of tunneled-cuffed permanent catheter are bloodstream infections. The aim of…

Physical activity and renal function in the Italian kidney transplant population Open
The well-documented benefits of physical activity (PA) are still poorly characterized in long-term kidney transplant outcome. This study analyzed the impact over a 10-year follow-up of PA on graft function in Italian kidney transplant reci…

Physical activity and renal function in the Italian kidney transplant population Open
Penchant for PA is more frequent among male and younger KTRs. Moreover, in our group of Italian KTRs, active patients revealed higher eGFR values and preserved kidney function over time, up to 10-years of follow-up.
